Jessica and Keith’s Chicago lakefront yacht wedding

Catching up again with another fabulous event, this time it was Jessica and Keith’s wedding on the Columbia Yacht Club in downtown Chicago along the lakefront.

Jessica wrote about their wedding day experience (in part), "Rich and his son Richie were such a pleasure to work with. In fact, it really did not feel like work, and rather that they were an extension of our friends and family. We are unbelievably thrilled with the photos, and the photo albums that they compiled - we cannot stop reliving the joy and excitement of our wedding day."

We couldn't agree more!!!

Sight seen on my way to somewhere else… " Blue"

A pedestrian bridge in downtown Chicago caught my eye as perfect contrast to the high-rise buildings in the background. The accelerated noise levels are clearly visible when I used the camera phone's electronic zoom function on my iPhone. As I've heard it said, "What's the best camera? It's the one that's with you!"
