At 10.00am on Sat. my pal & I were 40 minutes away from my home, heading for a day in the country, when my phone rang, it was a panicked bridegroom appealing for help. It appears the high volume studio he and his fiance booked for their wedding had just jilted them hours before the ceremony.
I had to drive 40 miles to go home, get changed, pack my gear and drive 20 more miles to Chicago for 12.30pm, I could've done with a blue cape and some red knickers, but I made it anyway in time to rescue a lovely couple and their families from a potential disaster.
In spite of a scary start and not having any brief to work with, we managed to get some fabulous shots at the hotel, of the ceremony at St Joseph's Church, around the city and at the Galleria Marchetti repetion, finishing up as the couple left by horse and carriage.
Good Wedding photography is the only change a young couple have of compiling worth while memories of their most important day, getting the best you can afford should be your top priority. No matter what you spend on flowers you only have them for one day, regardless of how much the goown costs, it is worn just the once, the photographs on the the other hand are your only permanent reminder of the joy of the day
