I first met Jasmy and Jeff when I photographed Nisha and Vijay’s wedding last year. They had so much fun on the dance floor! Here are them from last year.
Now flash forward to this week — it’s going to be busy. Jasmy flew in earlier this week. Jeff flew on Wednesday morning. He gets about 1 hour of sleep and than they both fight the Chicago traffic to have a fabolously stress free Engagement session at the newly opened, Lincoln Park Zoo Nature Boardwalk.
I love the new “Peoples Gas Education Pavilion!”

These are gorgeous! Jeff and Jasmy look so happy at the pavilion. And I love the light and shadows in the last photos.

A special thanks to Delia for helping me out with this wedding.
Sometimes I like to write a little story about my clients, but my words would fail miserably compared to what Lauren and Ryan came up with for their programs. Below is an explanation of their love story. Thanks, Lauren and Ryan, for letting me use this. It’s really worth reading!
The Arithmetic Relationship Logo
By now you surely have seen our wedding “logo,” featured below. You may also have noticed that this logo, while classic in appearance, is actually comprised of a series of
numbers – 2, 5, 8, 10, and 12 – that hold special significance within our relationship. Virtually every important date or other landmark fact central to this celebration and our life together is a function of those numbers:
The letter “L”: twelfth letter in the alphabet (12). The letter “R”: eighteenth letter in the alphabet (8 plus 10). The letter “H”: eighth letter in the alphabet (8).
Lauren’s birthday: May twelfth (5/12). Ryan’s birthday: May second (5/2).Our “initial” meeting (more on this upon request): May fifth (5/5).Our first date: May tenth (5/10). Proposal date and time: October twenty-fourth (10/24) at 12:20 (10 times 2) a.m. Our wedding date: August fourteenth, two thousand and ten (8/14 (12 plus 2)/2010).
We also believe you will enjoy the music throughout today’s ceremony. Chosen specifically with our numbers in mind, the music features selections highlighting (through meter, measure, and verse)
the numbers 2, 5, 8, 10, and 12.
Finally, it provides us great comfort that the middle number in our series – eight – appears sideways in the form of a link at the top of our logo. It further reflects the symbol for infinity, symbolizing our unending dedication to and love for one another. It comes as no surprise, then, that the phrase “LOVE FOREVER” ultimately leads us back to that number eight:
L O V E F O R E V E R
12 15 22 5 6 15 18 5 22 5 18
12 plus 15 plus 22 plus 5 plus 6 plus 15 plus 18
plus 5 plus 22 plus 5 plus 18
equals
143
1 plus 4 plus 3
equals
8
Well, I am no poet, but here is my photo story of their wedding day.
Lauren began getting ready at Salon Seventy Six and while inside, it began to rain — oh my!
Brad was so helpful in driving us from the Salon to Lauren’s home. Thanks Brad!
Lauren shares a small, intimate moment with her grandmother.
I love those Jimmy Choo shoes!
Hey Katie, that’s my job!
Those boys have all the time in the world to get ready.
The beautiful church of Jefferson Avenue Presbyterian.
Brad walks his grandmother down to be seated.
Lauren’s dad, Jim, gives her purse back.
This is the beautiful Grosse Pointe Club.
Hello, Lauren and Ryan!
This was a memorable and emotional speech.

Love love love the photos and my family and friends love them too!!!!!!!! Thank you so so much, can’t wait for more 
Beautiful work, David. I love how you make me smile with these images. I was lucky to work with you and learn from you. Thank you!!!
Jennie’s and Larry’s parents both had cottages on Lake Geneva. So when it came to having their engagement pictures taken, it was a no-brainer to have them at Lake Geneva.
All the Ugly Dolls bear witness to their love.
Kiss or no kiss …
We had to hurry up for this photo since we were on someone’s property. Thank you, wonderfully lush, green lawns!
Jennie made Larry laugh so hard while we were photographing! LOL
This was at the footsteps of one of an aunt’s house.
J + L take a walk along the path to the Yerkes Observatory.
1, 2, 3 … gotcha!

Both Carrie and Harsha hail from San Francisco, so I did not have a chance to photograph them beforehand. But when I met them in the early afternoon of their wedding day, they were a cool-headed couple, even though they were ready to burst into flames from the heat that day. Their wedding was at the Midway Village Museum, and it sported so much history! Well, we got lucky, and it never rained during the entire wedding. Only sprinkles for a few minutes in the late afternoon. Congratulations, Carrie and Harsha.
NOOOOO PEEKING!!! Harsha covers his eyes to be sure not to see his bride to be before the wedding.
Oh yes, shaving the old school method.
