Congratulations to Mohammed and Khadija as they are now Married!  I was looking forward to this wedding for so long because I have never attended a Pakistani Wedding before.  The wedding takes part in three days: First Day – Family dinner and Henna Tattoo, Second Day – Wedding Ceremony, Third Day – Reception Celebration.  It was such a fun event to be a part of.  I had a great time photographing with my teamates Leujay + Richard, they were a big help!  The first day I photographed with John Kalad as well, can’t wait to see how his photos turned out.  Congrats again to the lovely Bride and Groom.  Here is a little teaser of what took place within the past week:

Dupage Childrens Museum

November 17, 2009

Last week my Wife + her two sisters + I took the children to visit the Dupage Childrens Museum.  We weren’t planning on buying a membership to the place, but after spending the day at the Naperville location… we were sold.  I will let the photos speak for themselves.  With this membership, we will have access to hundreds of other Children’s Museums across the US.  Kaiden had such a blast, and I think it will be beneficial to have him explore this place from time to time.

Bobby and Lucy

November 9, 2009

I think the last time I was walking around downtown Chicago was over a year ago.  Can you believe how fast time goes by?  I’m really glad Bobby and Lucy wanted to do their engagement session in the City… it allowed me to burn some extra weight I gained this past year!  They are such a cute couple, very outgoing, and an added bonus when my clients are photogenic!  Special thanks goes out to Leujay and Richard who came out to help photograph some different angles… sorry I didn’t get to edit your photos yet.  But here is a little teaser from my photos of Bobby and Lucy, and their time together in downtown Chicago:

Scoobys

November 1, 2009

I finally visited this Hot Dog stand located in West Chicago called Scoobys.  We have been driving by this joint for years, and everytime we pass by it, I would say “I have to eat there some day”.  Finally after what seems to be about 10 years, we stopped by the place.  All the neon lights were amazing!
