This weekend I was out in Illinois for the first time ever. Liked it out there, loved Chicago and I had a great time. More importantly, my dear friend Steph (Bird) got married to Michael (Michaelball). It was so nice to be a part of this wedding, to get to reconnect with some friends and to see Steph + Michael both living in the same country, which has been rare.
Also, I was joined by one of my favorite photographers, Evan Baines. Evan works in Nashville and kicks butt. We had a great time all weekend and got to shoot in the rain. Woo!... See some of his favorites here. Hope you enjoy the pics!

Steph got her dog a tie, which was awesome... and we took about 1200 pictures of him.



Evan grabbed this great shot of Steph finding out about the incoming rain...

Evan was taking bridal portraits of Steph, so I took some groom portraits....

Lastly, here's Evan toughing it out in the rain... and me, who waited it out like a wimp. As always, thanks so much for looking!


GOOD GOSH… consistant and fresh as always, how you continue to keep doing new stuff is a mystery to me and a total inspiration. I can’t imagine having you and Baines at the same wedding… that’s like having Sam and Spencer… or Baines and Spencer… or you and Sam… it’s just not RIGHT !
Love the soccer style shots and how you worked in the rain – fantastic… consider me among your greatest fans !
That’s a pretty hard core tool belt you’ve got there. Also, do those guys know how lucky they are to be able to wear soccer jerseys to a wedding?! Cool.
What an awesome wedding! Looks like you two had fun. I love the journalistic look of the cake feeding, the simplicity of her shoe shot etc… my favorite though is the ring shot with the coins.
those are so awesome, love them all, especially ronaldinho and the one with steph’s expression hearing about the rain, you guys captured everything amazingly
I love the ring in the petal picture! :) Awesome job once again
Those are Costa Rican coins!!! I feel proud… :o)
You are an amazing photographer…
