Yes, I am still catching up with posting weddings -

What started as a dark and rainy day turned into beautiful bright sunshine for Ashley and Michael, just in time for the ceremony and photo walk in downtown Chicago. The Holiday Inn Chicago Mart Plaza Hotel served as our starting AND finishing point with their reception in the Wolf Point Ballroom. We started with a walking tour near the Adler Planetarium and continued to Northerly Island. After that, the bridal party joined us for group photos at the Kinzie Street bridge (a local ‘must have’ photo location) and from there we continued on to the ceremony at Assumption Catholic Church.

Thank you Ashley and Michael for allowing me the opportunity to save your wedding day memories, you were great!

Hiring Rich Chapman Photography was one of the best decisions we made throughout our wedding planning process. Rich, his son, and his wife are incredibly professional, personable, and passionate and will do whatever it takes to get the “perfect shot.” From our initial meeting, to the engagement photo session, to the big day, Rich and his team made us feel incredibly comfortable in front of the camera. In all of our pictures, we look like the best possible version of our selves without looking cheesy or fake. The team made sure we got all of the standard shots and then took it to the next level by asking for suggestions and letting their creative juices flow. One of our favorite parts is that Rich gave us access to all of the digital files. This way, we can print the ones we love now and in 2, 3, or 4 years, we can still go back and print as many as we want. Overall, you cannot find a better photographer to capture the best moments of your big day than Rich Chapman Photography.

When looking for a wedding photographer we came across a photo of Rich’s by searching on google “Chicago skyline wedding photo” and we fell in love with the pictures he had in his portfolio.  We met with him a few times before the wedding and we feel he was very thorough in getting an understanding of the way we wanted our wedding day to be captured.  He is a quirky and genuine person who wants you to have beautiful memories of your day.  We did a first look approach with a photo walk around the city of Chicago and he did such a wonderful job.  He delivered on some seriously stunning photos of our big day.  I love how he prefers to capture moments as they occur rather than staging “posed” photos, however in some instances a little more direction such as “un bottom that top button, your jacket looks funny” would have been nice.  (and that’s me just being nit-picky!!). He got so many lovely details of our wedding and really didn’t miss one moment of the day.  He was also very accommodating, responded to emails and questions quickly, and got my photos back to me in record time. I would hands down recommend Rich and his son for anyone’s wedding or event!  I can’t stop getting compliments on the pictures from our wedding day and we had such a great time shooting together.  He is a perfectionist and his work is certainly perfection.

I was referred to Rich by a friend. Rich and his son were a great team, and were very friendly, courteous, and professional. Rich is an amazing photographer, who shows passion and perfection in his work. We were very happy with the pictures, and had many comments from friends and family on the quality of his work. We loved many of the candid shots and he captured all the important moments of our wedding. The family and friends group pictures were beautiful. Rich has a talent for getting the photo perfect. We were very happy to have chosen him for our photographer. We highly recommend him.

Artistic … very easy to work with … a story teller … talented … enthusiastic … a real pro! These are just a few words we would use to describe Rich Chapman, our wedding photographer. We knew from our first meeting with Rich, that this kind, energetic, talented photographer was the perfect choice for our wedding. Rich expertly guided us every step of the way from the planning process through the wedding and on into the final photo selection. Rich was always prompt, enthusiastic, professional and accommodating … willing to do whatever it took to provide us with fabulous photos. Rich didn’t just take “pics,” he used his extensive photographic expertise and impressive artistic talent to tell our wedding story, and the results are spectacular! Rich and his son make a great team, and between the two of them we received a bounty of beautiful photos of our wedding in a very timely manner. We highly recommend Rich Chapman and his son to anyone who wants the best for their wedding!

We absolutely LOVED working with Rich Chapman (and his son, Rich). His passion for his work stood out from the moment of our first meeting.
