This event was a great match for me!  Once again, I had the honor of covering Great Wine Match 2009 held at Tree Studios.  The evening's festivities included over 200 spanish wines paired with the most delectable tapas made by 6 of Chicago's top Chefs.  Even the Minister of Spain stopped by.  

The best part?  All proceeds went to The Greater Chicago Food Depository.

If you have a few minutes, check out this week's episode of Wild Weddings Friday, May 1st at 9:00pm ET/PT.  It will showcase our work from one of our favorite weddings where a well known (Emmy winning) videographer actually fell backwards into the baptismal font while filming the recessional.  It's OK-he laughed about it too.

You can see highlights of the wedding here...and check out the new "MUSIC VIDEOS" made by Susan Ryan.                  These custom videos are now included with every wedding package!

Welcome newest member of the Ryan family!  I had the privilege of photographing my young nephew on a recent cold and rainy Sunday. What better way to spend time!  He's shown here at 9 months, which is a great age to capture smiles and expressions.  Oh, and he's not walking yet-a plus when shooting in studio ; )

Although I've been 'digital' for a couple of years now, the header image you see at the top of this page means a lot to me as it was the first shot I took with my Canon EOS 5D.  It's our son, Owen who had just turned 3.  The newest addition to my gear will be the Canon EOS 5D Mark II which behaves beautifully in any type of natural light-my favorite type!
