Wedding Missy and John December 27 2008

By admin - Posted on 28 December 2008

 

Today our Plum Tree Studio crew photographed the wedding of Missy and John! Initially there was concern that a winter wedding had potential to be impacted by the snow or freezing weather. Yet, our bride and groom wanted a Christmas wedding and that is what they received. In fact, at our wedding consultation this summer the bride adamantly said to me "It will not snow on my wedding day!" I have to say that Missy must have been in communication with the weather gods because it did not snow on her wedding day. In fact, December 27th 2008 was the warmest weather recorded for that day in history, setting a new record for Chicago! The day reminded me very much of the early spring weddings with rain showered intermixed with spell of warm wind. No gloves, no hates, no scarves, just a casual breeze and a sprinkling of moisture. That proved that positive thinking and a great deal of luck can make any dream come true!
 
Below are a few images from John and Missy’s special day. More images will be posted under recent events just in just a few weeks, so please check back again.
 
CONGRATULATIONS MISSY AND JOHN!!!  

Lead Photographer Personal

Many of our clients ask us about the photographers at the studio. Who are we? What are we like? Get to know us by spending some time on the website and reviewing our galleries.

 

New: At each wedding, events and portrait session we try to capture photographs of our “imagery athletes” (also known as photographers) in action. Whether it be running through the rain to get a photo of the brides coming out of the limousine, spending a 10 hour day in the blazing 100 degree sun, meowing at the puppies to get that cute head turn, or jiggling sparkly things to get baby to smile… we are ready for it and will show you ourselves in the gallery below. Updated quarterly, the images will reflect us and our passion in photography!

 

IMAGE 1: The following images were taken at the Dodd Wedding in December 2008. Photographers on staff were Agnes (Lead Photographer and Portrait Artist) and Ben (Photojournalist).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

IMAGE 2: Every wonder what photographers do when they are not working? They find creative ways to express themselves to their loyal fans and future clients. As always, comments are welcome!

Engagement Photo Adrienne and Lamar

By admin - Posted on 23 December 2008

Today we had Adrienne and Lamar at the Studio for their engagement photos. This morning was also a horrible winter blizzard. Temperatures plummeted. We got about 4 inches of snow. The plows were out in force all day from morning until night. And yet, these two lovely souls still made it in through the storm for their scheduled appointment. They receive the trooper of the day award! I could think of no better way to spend the evening snow storm then by taking pictures of two people in love!

The couple took advantage of our portrait discount and received 50% off of their engagement portrait, by booking their wedding photography with Plum Tree Studio. Contact us today if you are interested in the 2008 discount!!! 

Congratulations Adrienne and Lamar! 

See you in April 2009 for your wedding day!

 

Pet Potraits Bucky

By admin - Posted on 07 December 2008

This evening we had a Pet Portrait with Calvin, Janet and "Bucky" from Grayslake. Our gorgeous red headed friend (below) was 70 pounds of pure muscle and a ton of love and energy. He bounded around the studio, exploring everything he could. Sniff sniff, what's that? And that? And ohh ohh that too? What is it?!?!? His young nose was not yet used to the "other dog" smells in this world, and as we all know Plum Tree Studio is frequently visited by four legged buddies ready to smile for their annual portraits. 

As soon as his care givers sat down for their portraits, he promptly joined them on the floor (obviously ready for his evening tummy rub). To get his attention I did my usual "critter sounds" as I like to call them -- a few cat meows, some like arfs, then a bit of the quack quack, and finally closing with a general squeel. Buckey responded really well to the "go to the car?" sentence (since we all love car rides, photographer included!). After a few photos, Bucky realized that no real critters were actually in my throat and thus was bored of me. Overall, it was a great session for Bucky and his adopted parents! Woof Woof Buckey!
