Groomology

Remember Michael Essany from Valparaiso?  He had a cable show from his parents house and landed on the E channel for awhile with that show.  You might not know that he recently published a very entertaining book called Groomology.  

From Amazon: The ring's on her finger, her to-do list is growing, and her mood is frantic. What's a groom to do? Let Groomology show him how becoming a partner in the wedding process can make the whole event more enjoyable, meaningful, and memorable. Time and time again, soon-to-be husbands only tackle what the bride-to-be has told them to do. Groomology outlines these traditional groom's duties but goes a step further to instruct grooms in the art of getting involved.

Region Weddings has compiled a list of great books for bride and groom alike over at The Bride's Room.  Check 'em out!!

Gallery Images Posted

Okay, things are moving along now.  As of this writing there are two image galleries for you took at. Clicking over to the Gallery page you will see a compilation of wedding images and The Chicago Sessions (my exclusive black and white engagement package) featuring my clients Chris and Elise.

I plan to add another engagement gallery very soon of on location and studio shots.  The site is still in "beta mode", but I can see the light.  Should have a Region Weddings coming out very soon!!  :)

Studio Makeover

Today I'm up early to rearrange the studio for a little more space.  Later this afternoon, I have a family portrait session with a returning client.  They have a one year old who is going to need some room to crawl!!  Check out the photo below of Justin as a newborn.

What does this all have to do with weddings?  Well, my studio set up is fairly portable and one of the add ons for my wedding package is Portraits on Location.  People love this as they arrive from out of town and reunite with friends and family at your reception.  Imagine how cool it is to step over into the portable studio for some unique photo opportunities that may never happen again.  My latest clients, Gordon and Heather, just booked this as part of their wedding reception as they have family coming in from all over.  I'm looking forward to June 24th!!
