When I was interviewed for my behind-the-scenes film ‘Backstage Pass’ I said, “The clients that tend to get where I’m coming from are the same type of client that I could probably go to a concert with” (3:05). And as with the case of Jen and Brandon we DID go to a concert together last week to see the popular Vermont jamband Phish perform for 3 nights at Chicago’s FirstMerit Bank Pavilion at Northerly Island. And after spending more time getting to know the two, capturing their rehearsal dinner and befriending their bridal party and family, I know it won’t be the last concert I attend with them.
I’m so honored to have had the privilege of capturing Brandon & Jen’s wedding and am happier having made two new friends in the process. Thanks you two! What an incredible day! I hope you both have an amazing honeymoon in Aruba this week. Please enjoy these highlights while I continue crafting the rest of your amazing photographs.
First, here’s a few favorites from the rehearsal.
