Navy Pier Crystal Gardens - Katie & Rob
Who would've thought that sending a drink to a young lady across the bar at Shenanigan's House of Beer on Division St. would lead to eventually getting married at Navy Pier!
It happens at every wedding at Navy Pier's Crystal Gardens...the kids just can't resist the jumping water display!
Rob's best man absolutely skewered the groom with his toast/speech. Rob, his family and his groomsmen are all from London, so "Whitey" felt the need to "translate" a lot of his speech for the American Yanks in attendance. For those of you who weren't there, here's a quick re-cap:
Yanks = Americans
Gents = Mens Bathroom
Cupboard = Closet
Arse = Ass
Pissed = Drunk
"Did a Maths" = "Majored in Mathematics"

Swissotel Chicago Wedding-Glenn & Charlie
So wedding #2 from last weekend found me with Charlie & Glenn. The 11am ceremony time atChicago's Holy Name Cathedral sounds ridiculously early, however the payoff is having over 4 hours to ride around with the bridal party taking pictures between the ceremony and their reception at the Swissotel Chicago. Makes for a long day, but more than worth it when it comes to the pictures!

Pheasant Run Resort Wedding-Grace & Jeff
This was the first wedding I've shot at the Pheasant Run Resort in St. Charles. I wasn't really sure what to expect, but this cool re-creation of New Orleans' Bourbon Street offered some pretty sweet opportunities for portraits.....(check out the next to last one below.....)
I find it odd that people always say stuff like "here comes the paparazzi" when they see me walk in to the ceremony area.....but then you see stuff like this. Excuse me.....Mr. Pot...this is Mr. Kettle.....guess what...you're black!
