Fine Art Wedding Photography by DWP

Jessica + Michael | Day After Session | Chicago

You might remember seeing Michael and Jessica's engagement session, or their intimate wedding at May Street Market. We had the pleasure of photographing their "day after" session this past week; Dave and I LOVE doing these sessions and getting to photograph them a third time was a treat. Jessica and Michael have a beautifully intense chemistry that made us feel like we were shooting stills for a Wong Kar-wai film (who not coincidently happens to be one of our favorite directors). 

These "day after" sessions are wonderful because they provide the opportunity to create a set of portraits that would not be possible without taking several hours out of their wedding day. Furthermore, not being on a wedding timetable allowed us first of all to work during the most beautiful time of day, and also to focus on creating the best possible images without having to worry about the clock or other wedding-day stresses.   

Here are a few of our favorite photos from the evening.

Andy and Brendan | After session | Chicago

On Sunday Dave and I photographed Andrea and Brendan's Day After session.  Because they had a busy schedule on the day of the wedding, they opted to have their creative portraits a few weeks after the wedding.  This is a fantastic solution for people who don't have the flexibility in their wedding day schedule to do creative portraits. The four of us had a really great time shooting, and it was great that everyone was so relaxed.

We went to several different locations; at Belmont Harbor, our second location, the most beautiful fog rolled in.  It happened very suddenly and was very thick; this allowed us to do some very unique photos that would not have otherwise been possible. It really looked like we were in Ireland!

Here's a few of our favorites from the session:

Thanks for a really fun afternoon!
