Their wedding day had been a long time in coming for high school sweethearts Sarah & Sean. Sarah made sure that their love of football was obvious throughout their special day. Their reception was held at Soldier Field and I was granted the opportunity to shoot at this magnificent location. We were fortunate with beautiful weather and superb locations perfect for catching intimate moments.

I brought along a videographer friend of mine, Gigi Harris, to help create a video that weaves video and still images together. Plus, we recorded Seth and Beca singing to Arabella as the audio track to the video. I can’t wait to put the final video together. Thanks for working on this project with me Gigi.

Here’s a sneak peak at the some final images from our session.

The grain that film adds to the image is beautiful. It enhances the mood I wanted to convey. This set of images was taken in the Mesquite Dunes in Death Valley.

It’s always great when the couple is up for anything, especially when they let me use all my creativity.  I’m so excited to work with this couple again. I added some of my other favorite engagement images from last year.

I came away with a new way of looking at the world from a Eastern perspective to landscape art. Looking for layers and emptiness to tell a narrative. I can’t wait to have more time to look and edit.
