Dustin and I have at least two things in common: we both LOVE photography and we both HATE being photographed, so I took this one as a challenge. Dustin and Kate met in a bar and wanted to do their pre wedding shoot at a bar in Wheaton. I just photographed a wedding at Revolution Brewing Company and noticed that the bar had a perfect blend of window light at about 5:15pm, so I suggested we do the shoot at said location. The owners even let me behind the bar for a few shots. I brought my wife along to distract Dustin and Kate in conversation to get the non posed and natural approach they were looking for. We also had fun doing a few rainy day shots outside of Revolution.

wow, that image where they’re standing on what looks like a ledge or something. Killer. So neat;)
super cute couple and great set of photos.
There’s a sense of calm in these that I dig.
I love the first one! And the image of the water with the skyline in the background! Man, medium format and portra 400 make for some wonderful colors. Great work!
Rob – Lauren,
What an attractive couple you are. Here’s wishing you a long and happy life together. Best wishes,
Joe
Wonderful pictures. I am so sorry that I have not met Lauren yet. You too look like a match made in heaven. Congratulations!
