Soooooo…. How about them Japanese Beetles? You know, the smelly, biting, not as vibrant red as the pretty ladybugs you never see anymore? And we thought Allerton Park could never do us wrong. We took Jen and Doug to our much raved about park only to find an infestation of these lovely beetles (check out…
Going back to when Katelyn and I photographed Molly and Matt’s engagement session at Millennium Park in Chicago I have been looking forwawrd to this wedding!

Mark,
The slideshow and blog pictures are so amazing!! You captured some truly beautiful moments between my sister and Matt on such a great day — I can’t wait to see the album!
You’ve given me a taste of your work and I want to see more; I look forward to seeing the rest! I’ll show my parents so they can enjoy this as much as I did!
Take care,
Hailey Weber

October 26, 2009 - 10:22 am
Really dig the vintage textures and treatments on the first ones in the set…..reflects the overall elegance of a fantastic fall wedding!
October 26, 2009 - 11:13 am
The slide show and pictures were great. What a beautiful wedding! I am the aunt of the bride and she really was a beautiful bride. The pictures give a glimpse of her beauty and how special the day was. Thanks for sharing.
October 26, 2009 - 2:16 pm
So, rumor had it that the M&M wedding was the best party! These pictures prove the rumors to be true! I am so sad I missed it 
Looks like the bride and groom had a blast! My hope is that the fun holds out for their entire lives together! I cannot wait to see the album!! (PS: thanks for capturing it for those of us who couldn’t make it!)
October 26, 2009 - 9:07 pm
Your wedding photography is FANTASTIC! I particularly like the shots by the red church door. great work!
October 27, 2009 - 1:44 am

October 27, 2009 - 8:38 am
The wedding was absolutely beautiful and the pictures on your blog really captured that special day! Thanks for sending us the link to enjoy the photos!!
October 29, 2009 - 12:53 pm
I think the photo of Molly and Matt in front of the red doors of the church with her veil and the bridesmaid bouquets is one of the most creative wedding photos I have ever seen.
October 30, 2009 - 6:09 pm
Gorgeous colors, moments, and photography! Love the look of these images.
November 2, 2009 - 6:53 pm

Mark, I love the black & white picture of Molly & Matt seeing each other for the first time-it gives me goose bumps. What a great way to start out their married life with a wonderful wedding & such fabulous pictures to always remind them. We had a blast at the wedding.
November 6, 2009 - 12:59 pm
This is a great set, your composition skills are dynamite!
November 6, 2009 - 3:00 pm
The pictures are amazing!!! And what a great couple to work with!
November 6, 2009 - 3:11 pm
Great pictures of a great couple!
November 6, 2009 - 3:25 pm
Fantastic photos! I loved how you shared the engagement photos during the reception and LOVED, LOVED being able to log into the website and view the photos shortly after the wedding. Molly & Matt are SUPER easy on the eyes.
November 6, 2009 - 3:42 pm
The pictures are absolutely beautiful! I love the one of the two of you smiling with your eyes closed- so cute!
December 12, 2009 - 2:37 pm
I absolutely love the look and feel of your wedding images. Beautiful work here!
December 12, 2009 - 2:44 pm

November 3, 2010 - 4:40 pm
Those church doors are gargantuan! What a sweet venue!
Although chilly, Meg and Jeremy (with wedding party in tow) certainly spiced up the day with humor and liveliness. Their group photo shots were some of our favorites from this year. From every bridesmaid having a hand in the bride getting dressed, to one of the best men jumping on the air vent Marilyn Monroe…
October 21, 2009 - 6:59 pm
Mark & Katelyn – WOW! What a wonderful reflection of Meg & Jeremy’s day. The photos give me goosebumps as they tell the story of their special day. Although the weather was chilly, you did a great job of capturing the warmth and love surrounding Meg & Jeremy. Thanks to our families and friends for being there. And thanks to YOU for capturing those moments!
October 23, 2009 - 7:37 am
Great artistic post-processing of the images. Fabulous ring shot. I am sure the couple will love these images.
October 23, 2009 - 8:49 pm
Wow Meg! These pictures are amazing. All of the cross-country girls said “SHE WAS SOO BEAUTIFUL!” It was a lot of fun being in your wedding. The pictures really show how much fun we all had. My favorite picture in the blog is your dress aginst the blue wall. Everybody I’ve talked to so far has said your dress is absolutely beautiful!
Love,
Rach
October 24, 2009 - 11:10 am
It was a pleasure to work with you and Kaitlyn. I’m truly touched by your work. The photos capture everything about the day. I can’t wait to see our album put together!
October 24, 2009 - 10:32 pm
Beautiful day! Beautiful woods! Beautiful bride! Beautiful wedding! Handsome Groom too !
October 24, 2009 - 10:45 pm
Wow! These pictures turned out gorgeous! You’d never know it was quite chilly that day. I love the black and white photo of the groomsmen & groomslady taken outdoors with the barrel lens. They look like they’re famous as if they were members of a rock band. And, the photo of Meg where her eyes look absolutely beautiful. And last but not least, that little flower girl is simply adorable! Where did you ever find her???? I think she loved watching the girls getting ready, especially her cousin Meg putting on her dress. Little did she know that it takes that many people to get a bride ready. However, what I think Gabby will remember the most is dropping those pedals so perfectly and riding in the “limbosine”. The bridesmaids were all so good to her. Thanks to all of you and to Mark and Katelyn for a job well done!
October 25, 2009 - 6:54 am
Beautiful photos, Mark.
October 25, 2009 - 8:26 am
I enjoyed our granddaughters wedding. Your pictures are great.They will have a fun time trying to decide on the ones they will want to get. I liked how you were getting pictures at the reception with out taking the bride and groom away every few minutes. Thanks for your good work
October 25, 2009 - 10:56 am
Heidi – cousin of bride! Love the pictures! Sorry I couldn’t be there, these pictures make me feel like I was.
October 25, 2009 - 2:09 pm

October 26, 2009 - 2:36 pm
Mark and Kaitly: you guys did an awesome job with these photos! I loved how you just went with the Lincoln bench. Having all of us girls go on the vent with the air was one of my favorite parts.
I had so much fun at the wedding!
October 26, 2009 - 2:39 pm
You can really tell how much fun everyone had taking these photos! It turned out to be such a beautiful day. I love all of these photos, and the style in which they were taken. Great Job!
October 26, 2009 - 3:44 pm
Great job on the photos. You really captured the day! I don’t have a favorite because I love them all. Thanks for helping to make Jeremy & Meg’s day so special!
October 26, 2009 - 5:06 pm
I love the photos, I think I’ve looked at them every few days they are so gorgeous! My favorite is the shot looking down the aisle at the guests and Meg & Jeremy’s back. It sums up the feel of the whole day!
October 26, 2009 - 5:08 pm
I never thought that a bride and groom in an alley would be a nice picture but much to my surprise the pics downtown turned out awesome!
October 26, 2009 - 5:50 pm
Excellent work capturing the beauty and spirit of the day!
October 26, 2009 - 7:41 pm
The pictures are so good! I loved the slide show. I almost teared up looking at it the first time. It was a terrific wedding. Great job everyone!
October 26, 2009 - 9:05 pm
Mark and Kaitlyn: Thanks for capturing a very special day for Jeremy, Meg, their families and friends! There was so much going on that day and I especially appreciate seeing some of those moments for the first time in your photos.
October 26, 2009 - 9:08 pm
Mark and Katelyn-
The pictures you took of Meg and Jeremy’s wedding are beautiful. I cried like a baby looking at them the first time. I am so glad that they had such a talented duo capturing their memories on their wedding day. I am so glad that Meg and I got a good picture because I forgot my camera and do not have a picture with Meg on her wedding day. I love the photos of Meg and Jeremy down town… You really captured their personalities. Great job!!! Justine
October 27, 2009 - 6:16 am
Great pictures!! I, too, have looked at them all several times. It’s great you are able to share them with everyone so we can remember Jeremy and Meg’s special day with their family and friends.
October 27, 2009 - 3:20 pm

October 25, 2009 - 2:49 pm
I adore the photo of Matt hugging Sammy….so much love. I really think the photo of Sammy twirling captures her personality perfectly. The artsy ones of shoes, etc. are wonderful and would look fabulous framed and hung together. They capture the day without screaming “wedding photos!” Beautiful photographs of a really wonderful wedding. The movie marquee is so glam!
October 25, 2009 - 6:11 pm

Very, very nice work. I am impressed that the photographer took several “requested shots” that added a nice touch to get family photos, not otherwise available.
The many engagement and wedding photos of the wedding party were all first class and on the internet – top end work and fine use of todays technology.
Richard and Samantha – Our congratlations and best wishes to an exceptional couple with many photos to “re-live” that special day, for years and years.
October 26, 2009 - 11:55 am

The photos used the gorgeous property to make these photos even more special.One of my favorite shots was Kate, side saddle and bare footed on her new horse. Brilliant! Congrats to the photographers! This was a superior job.
October 14, 2009 - 7:21 am
I am so glad that I came from Texas and stood in the cold and rain! This was by far one of the most special and beautiful weddings I have ever been too! The pictures had me reliving that wonderful night this morning! Congratulations again Kate and Markus!!! XOXOXO

Great photos! SO glad you didn’t ask me!! What a fun time that was – good memories.
October 15, 2009 - 11:35 am
Great wedding coverage, Mark. Lots of personal touches in their wedding, too, like the bonsai tree guest cards and the tractor cake topper. Very cool. The groom’s wedding ring is one of the more unusual that I’ve seen. Different for sure. Looks like a fun wedding.

Would you be willing to help me out??
