For our Fall wedding in 2005, we sought a photographer who was skilled in the photojouralistic approach to photography- someone that would not bore us with cliched postures and over exposed poses, but would use their artistic powers to capture the images and experiences of our wedding that would help us to relish the moments of the most important day of our lives. We were not disappointed. In fact, we could not have known that, through Adrian, we had entrusted our wedding photos to one of the most creative and talented young photographers in the Chicago metropolitan area. His interactions with us before the event would be a prelude to the quality of the end product. He met with the wedding party prior to the wedding, to coordinate his activities with us and to learn a little about us. He listened to us attentively. For our morning wedding, Adrian arrived early, and from the time of his arrival until the end of the day, he became both omnipresent and invisible, subtly capturing scenes from all aspects of the wedding. From preparation, ceremony to reception, he was very effective at being present at every memorable moment, yet was completely unobtrusive. Neither we nor anyone else present at the celebration could believe how hard this man was working. Adrian made sure to go to great lengths to capture the perfect photo, even going so far as receiving a parking citation from one of Chicago's Finest for double parking to capture a great shot. During the reception, he literally "danced" the camera with us to capture the dance floor activities of the celebration. After the ceremony, relatives and friends would consistently say three things to us consistently- the wedding was really nice; the food was really good; and that photographer worked his butt off To say that the photos were excellent does not do them justice. They were more than that- they were beautiful; they were fascinating; Perhaps most, they captured the moments of our wedding in a way that only Adrian's creative mind's eye ever could. As we shared the photos with others, at least two other attendees immediately contacted Adrian and subsequently contracted with him to cover their wedding. Adrian's talents in photography were more than we could have ever expected, and were truly a blessing on our wedding.
