Fine Art Wedding Photography by DWP

(this is DWP)

A few months ago we commissioned Emily and Jacob Anderson, to produce a piece that will hopefully give you a better sense of who we are as photographers, artists, and people. Instead of showing you how you are most likely to see us anyway (behind the camera) we invited Emily and Jacob to show you a little of our lives during the rest of the week. They produced three pieces; one about me, one about Nancy and one about us as team. We hope you enjoy them and please share your thoughts about them in the comments section below. 

 

 

 

You might recall hearing Jacob's audio piece about our wedding in Italy that we posted here last year. If not you can check it out here: This is Orvieto. You can also hear more of his work on his website. 

You can also see some more of Emily Johnston Anderson's photography on her website.

 

Wish Upon a Wedding - Chicago Chapter

Dave and I very excited to be a part of the first wedding wish granting organization in the United States, Wish Upon a Wedding.  Wish Upon a Wedding was founded in January of 2010, and is dedicated to producing weddings and civil ceremonies for individuals facing terminal illness. The Chicago chapter just launched and in celebration of it's launch many Chicago wedding vendors came together at an event to show their support.  Ali Phillips, the president of the Chicago chapter, announced the first couple in Chicago to have their wedding wish granted.  Beth and Nick will be married on April 18, 2010.

This film by I Do Films tells their story beautifully.

If you are a wedding vendor and are interested in becoming a wish granter, you can find more info on their website about how to do so.  If you know a couple in which one or both are terminally ill, and wish to be married, tell them about Wish Upon a Wedding! 

"DWP: an artists' portrait" video

Check out our new video for a little of our philosophy behind how Nancy and I do wedding photography. You can also view the promo for this video here. Thanks, once again, to Chris Scherf from Second Look Films for his excellent work on this.

E-Sessions: Behind the scenes

As promised, here is a glimpse of Nancy and I at work on an engagement session.  Be sure to watch it all the way through so that you can see some of the photos from the session at the end.  

A big thanks to Stefanie and Sam for being willing to let Mili and Sid join us, and an even bigger thanks to Mili and Sid for filming and editing this video for us. 

The University Club | a 9 hour wedding in 120 seconds

I've been wanting to do a time lapse sequence at a wedding for a while, and on Saturday we had an ideal wedding at the University Club to do it at. A lot happens behind the scenes at a wedding and I've always been amazed at speed in which a room can be turned around. Check it out:

Check back later this week for the actual images we shot at Jen and Kyle's wedding at the University Club.

The Difference: DWP's new promo video | Orvieto, Italy

A few months ago we traveled to Italy to do a fashion shoot for Alice Padrul (we posted about it here). One of the highlights of the trip was working with a Christopher Scherf, an amazing artist from Second Look Films. He shot a mini-documentary of our work there (which will be finished in the coming weeks), and also made this fantastic little promo piece for us. So check it out:
