Facebook

As you may or may not have noticed - this blog has not been updated in a long time, which is entirely due to my hectic schedule of production and photographing! I have started a new facebook page dedicated to jon shaft weddings that you can view here: Jon Shaft Weddings | Facebook. Hopefully, I will be updating more through facebook as it is a bit easier than blogger! Look for updates soon.

Chicago Social Magazine










If you haven't already picked up a copy of the November issue of CS magazine, go and pick one up today! You'll find 11 pages of photographs that I had the pleasure of making with a really great team of hair/makeup, stylist, a few ladies from CS and my assistant extraordinaire Michael Litchfield. Michael and our stylist April Francis even made it into the background of one of the photographs!

If you can't find a hard copy of the [free] magazine, take a look at it (for a limited time) online http://modernluxury.com/digital.php?e=CHSO.

Harmony + Dick

You may have seen harmony and dick's engagement photos from a few months back, well it's time for some wedding photos. Harmony was kind enough to model her dress back in november ( made from her grandmothers wedding dress ) for my bride+dress series. We had a great time at their understated pirate theme wedding - there were skull and cross bone cuff links for the guys, and similar buttons for the girls, a ring box with a skull on it, pirates of the caribbean replica swords for the fathers, and eye patches as favors at the reception. After the ceremony, we got some great portraits by the remaining wall of the old Daisy Air Rifle factory, and we also had some time at the end of the reception to make our way to the historic Wilcox house for some more portraits.













Amber and Chris

Amber and Chris were married on 3.22 in Joliet, IL. It was a great day, everything took place at the Joliet Union Station in downtown Joliet. Amber and Chris saw each other before the wedding, so we had a lot of time for portraits, and even some time after the ceremony to make our way to a close by park with some amazing bridges, and a cliff! I had a tough time choosing my favorites to show here, there are so many great photos from their wedding! Hope you enjoy these.
