One more wedding.  That’s it.  Hold your breath… oh yeah…

I’m gone on a mission trip with my youth group for the next week, but I wanted to give y’all a taste of what’s to come after I’m back.

Enjoy the preview!

Hey folks!

A while ago we had the chance to shoot Rachel and Michael’s wedding.  Rachel was a friend from high school, and as you’ll see here, has turned into a beautiful young woman!  I didn’t know Michael from before, but we very quickly saw that they are a great match for each other.  Fun wedding, fun photos, and the start of a wonderful marriage.

For those who have been following my work for awhile – you might have noticed that I’ve been showing a lot more black and white photos lately.  That’s not all I’m taking, of course… but man, do I love B&W.  There’s something very… simple and pure about it.  There’s still an art to fine-tuning it, but it shows emotion and light in a way that’s really hard to find in color photos.  So my bias has clearly been showing up more.  Maybe I should do an all black and white wedding sometime.

Anyway, enjoy, and congratulations Rachel and Michael!

Congrats both of you!

The wedding, completed!

A few weeks ago I drove back to Bremen to photograph Megan and Cameron’s wedding. I shot her cousin Jess’s wedding last summer, and I must say… their family is so much fun!

There will be more to come, but in the meantime, here’s a preview.

Megan and Cameron, and party, thanks for being hard-core and enduring the cold weather!

More to come, be sure! Until then, enjoy.

At the end of August, I had the chance to fly out to Washington D.C. to see a good friend of mine from college get married. Even better, I got to see it through the lens of a camera! Kati and Mikey are a cute couple who are clearly in love and have lots of fun together, so getting good shots was easy. That always makes my day better, too!

Thanks for letting me share part of your special day with you, Mr. and Mrs. Mapa. Enjoy!

It’s been awhile since I’ve updated this blog!

You’ll have to forgive me – my Facebook page has been my most current means of updating fans and clients, and that’s where I’ve been posting new work more often. Check it out: http://www.facebook.com/AndersonPhoto!

Anyway, to business! A little while ago, I had the opportunity to shoot Jess and Andrew’s wedding. It was really exiting because it was back in my hometown! I went to school with Jess and was friends with Andrew’s younger brother. Weddings are fun when they’re also reunions.

I just finished the awesome photos for Jess and Andrew’s wedding, and they’re great. They are a beautiful couple together, clearly are crazy about each other, and are all about fun artsy photos. As a photographer, it’s pretty hard to complain with that!

So without further ado, enjoy the slideshow!

The long-awaited slideshow is here! The pictures for this wedding are finally finished, and I feel like they definitely suit the laid-back mood of their wedding pretty well.

Enjoy!

Last weekend, I had the chance to shoot the wedding of two awesome people I knew from college. These are some very low-key, community-oriented, and fun-loving people. With a very meaningful liturgical ceremony and a reception that was all about hanging out and dancing with their friends, their wedding was everything it should be. Plus, it was great to see so many people from Wheaton (my school) again. I should also mention that it was POURING rain all day… there was some pretty serious flooding in Chicago. Thankfully the wedding was inside, but it sure made for some fun portraits.

Take a look!

Ah, portraits in a parking garage, and the rain…

The ceremony… a fairly sanctuary, but absolutely beautiful.

Running between buildings in the rain!

The rings…

There was tons of dancing…

The kids sure got into it.

Oh, and let’s not forget our Bollywood dancing!
