Deena and Jordan were married in a beautiful ceremony at the Chicago Botanic Garden, and I was thrilled that I was able to be a part of their wedding day! Deena and Jordan live in San Francisco, and I’m always humbled when a couple chooses to book me before they can meet me in person. Just as the ceremony was about to start, it started pouring rain. All through the ceremony, there was thunder and lightning, but just as it came to an end, the rain subsided and the sun came back up! Jordan and Deena didn’t let the rain bother them, and they were so much fun to be around all day. Congratulations, guys – thanks again for letting me document your wedding day!

Windy day eh? Those shots of the veil in the wind rock! I really like your black and white processing – it gives a nice classical touch. Keep up the good work!
These are great, as usual, Steve. That last shot is amazing. The bride is gorgeous!
Some of these are absolutely cinematic in quality and composition. I bet that the couple is going to be thrilled with them!
You can tell a story Steve. You can tell one very well Steve.

steve, these really do capture the feeling of what it was like to be there. i’ve heard from a bunch of different people that they’ve looked at them a few times since, just for fun. (i’ve done it too:) thanks again!
Super stunning pics, Steve! And to echo others’ remarks – that blowing veil shot is amazing. Side question: does anyone know where the bridesmaids got their dresses from? I love them!
Really nice pictures! I like your work Steve!
