Engagement Session | Michael and Jennifer

Engagement and Wedding Portraits at Moraine Hills State Park | Ryan Klos Photography, Woodstock, IL portrait photographer.

We explored Moraine Hills State Park during Michael and Jennifer’s e-session and had a blast doing it. I love laughing and getting to know my couples while we shoot. Only downer was a tick that I had to remove when I got home. Even with the tick, it was an excellent session!

Come September, Michael and Jennifer will start their life together as one. And they’re doing it the way marriage was intended—through a selfless commitment to each other before God. They take their faith very seriously (is there another way to take it?) and are looking forward to their lifelong journey.

Being part of a wedding like this is a huge blessing for me because Michael and Jennifer seek to glorify God on their wedding day. It’s so easy to get caught up in the “now” on the wedding day, but these two have made it clear it’s not about just them, and I admire that.

I’m looking forward to capturing their big day in September. Congratulations, Michael and Jennifer!

Engagement Session | Jordan and Jessica

Engagement and Wedding Portraits | Ryan Klos Photography, Woodstock, IL portrait photographer.

Jordan liked Jessica before she liked him, and she certainly never thought they’d be where they are today. They knew each other at church and while Jordan had the hots for Jessica, she didn’t pay much attention. Now, less than two months away from their wedding, they are hopelessly in love and I get to document their joy and excitement as they begin their life together. How exciting!

Jordan and Jessica are building their marriage on the most solid foundation I can think of, and the beauty is that the focus is not on either one of them. With Jesus firmly planted as the cornerstone of their marriage and commitment, there is little they cannot endure—the good, the bad, the challenges, the celebrations. I’m so happy for you two and can’t wait for you to enjoy the blessing of marriage and lifelong partnership!

Congratulations, Jordan and Jessica! I’m looking forward to photographing your wedding in August!

Looking Back at 2009

2009 was an incredible year—photographically and personally. I had the pleasure of working with some of the coolest kids, couples, models and photographers to make beautiful images and memories. It’s so gratifying to help preserve memories and mark significant milestones for the people I shoot for. Thank you all for allowing me to document special moments and glimpses of your lives.

To ring in the new year, here are a few highlights that made 2009 so much fun:

2009 Highlights

On the personal side, 2009 was a year full of firsts, memorable experiences and incredible blessings. Here are just a few highlights:

  1. My little boy was born (coolest thing in all my years, not just 2009)
  2. Completed my master’s degree in creative writing
  3. Got a motorcycle
  4. Took the family to Nashville
  5. Took part in a huge stock photo shoot in Nashville where I met and worked with many very talented models and photographers

Thanks to all my clients, models, vendors, friends and family for an outstanding 2009. I’m looking forward to an exciting 2010 filled with more shooting and publishing opportunities!

Here’s to a blessed and prosperous 2010!
