Tyler & Megan

2008-09-15T16:14:00.006-05:00

What an unbelievable setting for this fun and gracious bride and groom. A beautiful day, beautiful bride and a rockin party that will be talked about for ages.

Curt & Carrie

2008-09-11T10:29:00.004-05:00

What a beautiful day for such a warm, friendly couple. We had a great time. Loved the Cubs ice sculpture.

Chris & Kailey

2008-08-23T08:50:00.004-05:00

How much fun can you have in the Chicago suburbs on your wedding day? Ask Chris & Kailey. We had a blast! What a fun loving couple to share their day with.

Marc & Hina

2008-08-13T20:03:00.006-05:00

The colors, the ceremonies, the families! What a day. Two ceremonies and a grand celebration.

Dan & Morgan's "E" session

2008-07-29T17:38:00.004-05:00

It was a fun day out with Dan & Morgan. We played and hiked and went all over the place. Look for this posh event coming soon.

Byron & Michelle's "E" session

2008-07-25T22:35:00.004-05:00

Wow. The "E" session with Byron and Michelle is beyond words. 1 part stunning couple, 1 part gorgeous day, a pinch of historic Geneva scenery and you get an "E" session that turned fashion shoot. Love it when it all comes together.

Chris & Kristi "E" session

2008-07-23T22:13:00.006-05:00

Dog days of summer, literally. Chris and Kristi brought their two fun dogs on this "E" session. We all ran around the forest preserve having a blast.

Ryan & Colleen

2008-07-20T21:42:00.007-05:00

What a great day we had with Ryan, Colleen and the entire rest of the families. This is a couple that really made Villa Olivia shine.

Chris & Kailey

2008-07-08T19:50:00.007-05:00

We had a great time with Chris & Kailey and their fun new pup. We all romped around the grass and trails and enjoyed the beautiful day. We finished just before the storms rolled in.

Patrick & Diana EXTREME "E" Session

2008-07-08T18:50:00.005-05:00

The weather was beautiful, with blue skies, bright fluffy clouds until...

We were in the middle of a big grassy field when the big raindrops started. All we could do was a quick dash to a small 3 ft concrete awning along the side of one of NIU's campus buildings. It was truly simply a small concrete overhang with little protection at all.

After the hail stopped we found out later the wind gusts at nearby Dekalb airport reached 74mph. Take a look at the gigantic tree branch that was ripped off the tree only 20 ft away from us.

What a blast! The rain stopped leaving us all dripping, (the camera's survived, quickly placed in their bags) and I looked at Patrick and Diana and we all just laughed.

We finished another hour of the engagement shoot under a beautiful blue sky. Extreme!

Darwin & Jessica

2008-07-01T08:32:00.005-05:00

The whole day was like a grand Broadway production. The reviews are in; it's a big hit! What fun. And... a waterpark between the ceremony and reception. We were all kids again until the house got rocked at Villa Olivia.

Brian & Heather

2008-06-22T11:00:00.005-05:00

What a cool venue and great couple. We didn't get a chance at Brian & Heather's wedding on the beach in Florida but we got the wild reception back home here at the On Q club! It was a wild night for all.

Doug & Lalaine

2008-06-20T08:28:00.005-05:00

We had a great time sharing Doug & Lalaine's wedding day. We went up to Rockford for this posh event. It was very elegant with a beautiful summer day. Lalaine and her dad lit up the dance floor with their special dance, the reception went wild!

Ryan & Colleen's "E" session

2008-06-15T18:42:00.005-05:00

Coming Soon!

We had a really fun time with Ryan & Colleen. Jasmine & Riley joined us for a bit as well for a romp on the trails. This wedding is right around the corner, we can't wait.

Matt & Jen

2008-06-10T08:57:00.005-05:00

If ever there were a most welcoming, warm and generous wedding, this was it. Everyone was Matt and Jen's family at this event. Thank you for sharing your day with us.

Dan & Katie

2008-05-27T15:17:00.005-05:00

Wow wow wow! What a fantastic couple with an equally fantastic day. The weather reports were gloomy for this beautiful outdoor event at White Pines but the bright smiles from all staved off the rain. It was a gorgeous day with a beautiful setting. When Dan surprised Katie with a song sung to her straight from his heart, there was not a dry eye in the house.

Matt & Jenn

2008-05-11T09:20:00.003-05:00

Coming Soon! The fabulous wedding of Matt and Jenn. Here are some shots from the fun E-session we had with the two of them. We can't wait!

Spring....Finally!

2008-04-30T19:55:00.006-05:00

This seemed like the longest winter. We were all just busting to get out and about. Getting a great new lens for our BarnDog Photo Weddings was more than reason enough to stroll down to the school and climb and catch and hike and explore ....

Jeff & Michelle

2008-04-28T20:42:00.003-05:00

What a wild time this was. We had such a fun day with Jeff & Michelle. Great times.

Randall & Karisa

2008-03-15T20:34:00.005-05:00

What a fantastic day. We joined this great couple for a make-up and hair session all the way to the wild rockin late night fun. What a day. Thank you for letting us share your day with you. We had a blast!

Tracey getting some Pre-Ceremony shots

2008-01-06T22:00:00.000-06:00

Tracey spent some time with the girls getting ready before the ceremony. Here is one of my fav's from her shots.

Merry Christmas

2007-12-25T08:54:00.000-06:00

I wish you health and happiness and all of your Christmas wishes to come true.

10 days til Christmas!

2007-12-15T12:24:00.000-06:00

We got a light fresh coat of snow overnight. This is really getting us all in the Christmas spirit.

Chris & Kathleen Wed!

2007-12-09T17:03:00.001-06:00

What a fun wedding. The church was marvelous, stunning pipe organ and vibrant stained glass windows all over. And the reception.... Maggiano's in Schaumburg! What a royal time. The setting, staff and food was, well, Bravisimo!

Back to work

2007-11-26T07:27:00.000-06:00

The leaves are falling down and the calendar is filling up. Looks like a very busy summer next year.

Happy Thanksgiving

2007-11-22T11:12:00.000-06:00

Thank you Martha Stewart for the great apple pie recipe. Tracey used a dozen Granny Smith apples in this masterpiece and topped it with a layered sugar glazed top crust. We may have to start the desert course first!

Wishing all of you a wonderful Thanksgiving. May you be of good health and cheer with all of your friends and family near.

Bob & Tracey

"Fall".....

2007-11-20T23:17:00.000-06:00

The view has traveled downward a bit.

Autumn view

2007-11-15T15:49:00.000-06:00

This is the view from our window. I love the fall.

Curt & Carrie

2007-11-07T21:26:00.000-06:00

Wow, what a great day we had out at Cantigny. It was cold and blustery a few days before and the same a few days after, but the seasons gave one last gorgeous fall afternoon for this fun loving couple. We went all over the grounds there, enjoying the scenery and some old military hardware as well. Until next August...

Phil & Krissy

2007-10-28T15:29:00.001-05:00

What do you get when the son of a Wedding Photographer who is an accomplished photographer himself gets married? Lets just say there were more camera's out for this big event than any Hollywood red carpet affair I've ever seen! Everyone was great. We were honored to be asked to shoot Phil and Krissy's wedding. Our contribution to the thousands of pictures taken at this event are now online.

Nick & Julie

2007-10-23T20:45:00.000-05:00

By far one of the most lavish events of the year. All of the special touches were complimented by the warmth of these wonderful families.

Jeff & Michelle's E-Session

2007-10-22T20:04:00.000-05:00

What a beautiful day for an engagement shooting session. The fall colors, the cool air and an antique trolly car running to a pumpkin patch.

We had a great time and are really looking forward to this wedding next April!

Autumn Colors of Spring

2007-10-14T17:21:00.000-05:00

The temperature has been in the 40's to 60's with a constant threat of a hard frost but Spring can be seen all over still. While out doing an engagement session with a fantastic couple (Jeff and Michelle - coming soon!) I spotted the tiny burst of color amongst the brown and drying wild grasses. I took the opportunity to get up close and personal with signs of springtime one last time.

Kevin & Natalie

2007-10-09T20:57:00.000-05:00

The images are online!

What a gorgeous day for this wedding. Friends and family from all over the country and the bluest sky of the year. It was magnificent.

A Cantigny Day

2007-10-02T21:27:00.000-05:00

If you have not been to Cantigny, in Winfield, you gotta go. It's like a mini Morton Arboretum with Army tanks and stuff! We took advantage of the beautiful day Sunday to walk about there.

David & Rebecca's images are online!

2007-09-25T17:41:00.000-05:00

Wow, what a big event. This wedding had it all! Pre-ceremony at a fab salon, getting ready at mom's, stretch limo to the church, bubbles, a stop for a great hot dog at Scooby's hot dog stand and off to a grand reception. There was a beautiful butter creme cake and custom touches everywhere! Wedding wishes candy bars, signing matte, photo guest book, DVD slide show, a rock star DJ, photo studio, gourmet food and libations flowing freely. This one set the mark very high.

Jeff & Carol Images are now online!
