Anne Marie and Mark are full of laughter and love. They share a respect for each other and their relationship that I admire. Mark is quiet and reserved but he doesn’t let that stop him from showing Anne Marie how much he adores her. During their engagement session we talked about the dance they were learning together for their wedding reception. Mark was nervous about it but it was sweet to hear that he was practicing diligently to make sure he would get all the steps down in time for the wedding. I’m sure he knew it would make Anne Marie so happy. Well, we photographed their wedding a week ago and I can’t give either of them enough props for nailing their dance together. They looked like they came straight out of SYTYCD! They had a standing ovation from the whole room. It was nothing short of awesome.
Thanks to Katie and David, Anne Marie and Mark contacted us almost a year and a half ago about shooting their wedding. It’s hard to believe that much time has already passed and that they’ve now been married for 1 week. We got together the week before the wedding to do this engagement shoot. The sunshine was perfect and besides all of the pesky bugs and the melting temperature we had a great time. Looking at these images makes me wish summer would stay forever. Congratulations AM + Mark! We love you guys!

This is a personal project exploring the correlation between a focal length and a person’s age and thoughts as narration during that time. Now this is the very first project, and was a learning experience to see what works and what doesn’t. This however has nothing to do with my age and was in fact shot all with a 50mm. Sometimes I am hesitant to share personal work, well, because it is personal and I’m worried about what other’s might say or think. But with much prodding from my always encouraging wife, here is “Take One”, and I assure you the Chicago Lakefront doesn’t look like this anymore. I am working on a dedicated website for these projects that will include stop animation and interviews from future subjects. Projects like these keep my mind working and unfortunately plenty distracted as well. Hopefully I will have time to share some more projects in the not so distant future. One more thing… “LIFEinPRIME” is me, Matt.

This is a project I have started and is in the making, this was the brain child. Shot with a Nikon D700 and a 50mm 1.4, Music is Andrew Bird – “Natural Disaster”
