Rich Chapman Wedding and Lifestyle Photographers : Chicago Photography » Chicago Wedding Photographer Rich Chapman

It has taken me several months to get this wedding’s highlights posted, but it sure gets me thinking about summer! In the town where most of “Groundhog Day” was filmed, Justine and Jonathan started with a traditional church wedding at St. Mary Catholic Church, followed by a stroll in the Woodstock (IL) Town Square. After that there was a trip to the Marengo Ridge Conservation Area, and a final destination of  Donley’s Wild West Town in Union, IL where their reception was held. A perfect couple on a perfect day!

Jan, 2012 - MomentVille.com, one of the worlds leading wedding websites, is pleased to announced that Rich Chapman Photographers has been selected for the 2012 Wedding Professional Hot List.

The annual Wedding Professional Hot List recognizes excellence within the wedding industry, as determined by reviews from tens of thousands of brides and grooms. Rich Chapman Photographers was among the best reviewed vendors in the past year.

“The Wedding Professional Hot List recognizes best of class wedding professionals.” said Geoff Evason, MomentVille’s CEO. “Highlighting the success of the top wedding professionals is an exciting way to spread the word and help newly engaged couples find the right professionals for their own weddings.”

Taking advantage of the picturesque downtown of West Dundee, IL, Jordan and Calvin tried not to shiver too much as we moved location to location on a chilly afternoon. Scenes from the movie “Road to Perdition” starring Tom Hanks, Jude Law and Paul Newman were filmed here.

I only had my iPhone while walking around downtown Chicago on New Year’s Eve, and couldn’t resist making this picture of a bridal couple being photographed in front of the InterContinental Hotel on Michigan Avenue. Not having my Canon 1DX or Nikon D4 with me, I learned the title of Chase Jarvis’ book is so true, “The Best Camera is The One That’s With You.”
