Wedding Guide Chicago Fashion Shoot 2014

I look forward every year to the editorial fashion shoot with Wedding Guide Chicago magazine. It’s a fun, exciting and creative day, where I get to work with a very talented group of professionals.

{I must confess… seeing my cover on the newsstand never gets old.}

In all seriousness, I do find that my wedding photography skills have enhanced, as I find myself photographing more fashion and editorial photo shoots. An interesting aspect of this type of work is trying to infuse the images with some emotion and spontaneity — the two ingredients which typically exist on a wedding day between a couple in love. Finding this emotion can be challenging when photographing professional models who have just met. One thing that fashion photo shoots, like this, and “real life” wedding days have in common — the swiftness of transitions and the opportunity I have to create a variety of images in a very short span of time. Wether the clients are the happy couple and their parents or the art director and their publisher, you have to deliver the results. Lights! Camera! Action! It’s my passion.

These images below can be found in the Fashion section of Wedding Guide Chicago’s 2014 editions. You can find the entire issue of Wedding Guide Chicago on newsstands throughout Chicago and the suburbs today! I’ve also included a few photos that show off behind the scenes… enjoy!
