Fall Weddings in Northwest Indiana and Chicagoland

Beautiful, wonderful colors! No wonder my busiest time of the year is from the very first weekend of September right on through Thanksgiving weekend. The colors are amazing in our region of the world, here south of Chicago and along the southern shores of Lake Michigan. 
Long ago, I learned that good professional equipment, along with experienced lighting skills, results in exposures that not only bring life into the eyes of the subjects but also brings that same life to all these gorgeous backgrounds. It is a good balance that has taken all of my experiences over four decades as a professional photographer and rolled them into timeless images. Once I know I have captured a fantastic image I then apply my decades as a photo editor and retoucher to bring even more brilliance to these images. (Shhh, I have a few secrets up my sleeve from over the years of doing this.)

This truly is about the people. Fall sings an elegant song, and both Sherri and I love bringing that song to life.
