Lauren + Ryan's Modern Wing wedding published in CS Brides

 

We are delighted to see Lauren and Ryan's wedding at the Modern Wing featured in this edition of CS Brides. The spread features many beautiful details from the day, but nothing can capture the flowery frangrance-filled room that still stands out in our minds. For a reminder that warmer weather is on the way, check out Lauren and Ryan's gorgeous wedding at Terzo Piano and go pick up your copy of CS Brides!

We are very happy to see Ariel and Jason's beautiful Union Station wedding featured in this issue of The Knot! The spread features many beautiful details from the day, all put together by the oh-so-talented Marina Birch, of Birch Design Studio. Check out Ariel and Jason's inimate ceremony as well as their Parisian-inspired wedding. And go get your copy of The Knot!

Jon + Joey's wedding published in Grace Ormonde

We're very pleased that Jon and Joey's wedding was published in a great 13 page write-up in the latest issue of Grace Ormonde Wedding Style magazine. You can view the magazine and article online here (pages 308-321). If you want to see more of their photos (you do) check out their photos from their Soho Beach House wedding and reception at the Villa by Barton G. Also check out their very cool (if we say so ourselves) Madmen-era engagement session in the Hollyhood Hills.

Art Gallery Opening + Reception | January 20, 6-9pm | Chicago, IL

Five of Dave's art pieces will be featured in a group show at the Chicago Artists Coalition gallery. The opening reception will be January 20, from 6-9pm at 217 N Carpenter, Chicago IL. We'll be there and would love to have you all stop by.

Official press relase below: 

In collaboration with CAC's Hatch Projects, Twelve Galleries Project presents Quarterly Site #9: Support curated by female design collective Quite Strong. The exhibition showcases two communities of visual creatives-HATCH Projects artists and Quite Strong Lust List designers.   Featuring:   Installations by HATCH Projects Artists - Marissa Lee Benedict/ Amanda Greive / Renee Prisble / Brittany Ransom / David Wittig / Jim Zimpel    Art and design works by Quite Strong Lust List Designers -   Alanna MacGowan / Cave Party Collective / Firebelly Design / Elaine Fong / José Scaglione / Julia Stotz / Katherine Verhoeven / Linsey Burritt / Margot Harrington / Monina Velarde / Nancy A. Bernardo / Nancy McCabe / Nicole Lavelle / Renata Graw / Tinne Van Loon / Tonya Douraghy / Veronica Corzo-Duchardt / Veronika Burian / Zara Picken   Together, HATCH Projects, an initiative of CAC focusing on contemporary art and professional artist development, Quite Strong, a collective fostering the overlap of art and design cultures, and Twelve Galleries Project, a roving curatorial experiment exploring collaborative exhibition models, can reap benefits for the Chicago creative experience. Each respective group challenges its members to step outside their immediate communities to seek vast and varied perspectives and experiences. The result: the facilitation and implementation of a support system beyond what is merely essential and into territory that is rich and rewarding. In essence, Quarterly Site #9: Support connects the "support" theme central to the missions of Hatch Projects, Quite Strong and Twelve Galleries Project and to the success of artists of all kinds.   For more information please visit: HATCH Projects http://support.quitestrong.com/ http://www.twelvegalleriesproject.org/quarterly-site-9

 

Recent Press: DWP published in CS Brides and Grace Ormonde

We are so excited to see all three of these weddings in print. Additoinally, one of our weddings is also in the current issue Grace Ormonde, and will be featured in more detail on their blog in the next week.

A DWP wedding featured in CS Brides

It's always exciting when one of the weddings we worked on gets published. Jessica and Matt's wedding at the Ivy Room this past October is featured in a beautiful 2 page spread in the latest CS Brides issue. There is a lot of great insight into the wedding and how all the details came together in the article. Pick up the latest issue or read it online here (page 164).

 

DWP images place in the annual PDN Top Knots Contest

We've been eager to share this news with you since we first heard back in February that two of our images had placed in the PDN Top Knots Contest. For those of you outside the photo world, Photo District News (aka PDN) is the top publication in the photo industry. They hold a yearly photo contest which is probably the most widely entered and seen contest in the wedding photography world. Having never entered before this year, we were very excited that we placed two images among the winners! 

Anyway, pick up a copy and check out the the other winners!

These are our two images that placed:

An image from Jaimie and Hap's wedding at The Standard Club

An image from Shana and Josh's wedding at the Spertus Institute

Terese + Ed's Illuminating Co. wedding featured on Style Me Pretty

I would normally be very proud to have one of our weddings featured on Style Me Pretty (arguably the most influential wedding blog) but I was ecstatic when I saw that they opened with ALL black and white photos for Part 1 of their feature on Terese + Ed's wedding at the Chicago Illuminating Company. This was a significant departure not only from their usual colorful posts, but also a rare and admirable move in an industry dominated by blogs full of mostly wedding details (which while beautiful, are hardly the most important thing in a wedding). Anyway, all this to say that Style Me Pretty gets a lot of respect in my book for daring to break the mold and put forth their own vision. Of course, I may be just a little biased because they are our photos, and we really love B+W wedding photography. Check out their post and please voice your approval in their comments section if you support this new direction. Also, don't forget that Terese is still blogging a detailed commentary on all the pictures over at her blog, so stop by and say hi.
