Screening of FRESH the movie!

Tuesday, February 2, 2010 Posted in personal

Are you interested in healthier eating, sustainability, fresh and local food? Come join us and watch FRESH on February 19th. We’ll start the film at 7:30 when it’s over let’s talk about what we can do!

Fresh celebrates the farmers, thinkers and business people across America who are re-inventing our food system. Forging healthier, sustainable alternatives, they offer a practical vision for food and our planet’s future. FRESH addresses an ethos that has been sweeping the nation and is a call to action America has been waiting for.
Fresh features Joel Salatin, Michael Pollan, Will Allen, and David Ball.

The last couple years we’ve been moving slowly towards healthier eating, we started going to Farmers Markets, buying some organic here and there too. Well, a few weeks ago, we watched Food, Inc. and it’s changing what we’re eating. If you haven’t seen Food, Inc. yet, or if you haven’t looked into the food we’re eating, do it today!

I’m limited to just 20 people, and I have a small space anyway, so send me an email and come watch the movie with us!

The top was filled with appletinis and it would drain through the center into the glasses

I loved this:

The Columbia Club is very proud of their tradition of the groom popping the champagne cork, and Kevin shook and shook it first, it sprayed ALL OVER! The picture is a tad shaky, but my lens was getting wet!

Stephanie was a colts cheerleader and near the end of the night, all the cheerleaders came out to dance

cara + alex’s dominican wedding, pt 2. destination wedding photographers

Thursday, January 21, 2010 Posted in Weddings

The next several weddings I’m posting are very image heavy! If you’re looking at this on Facebook you may have to click through to see the pictures.

Cara and Alex were married in the Dominican Republic and I got to shoot their wedding! The day before the wedding, Cara and Alex dressed up, and we shot some pictures of the two of them. We started at the resort where Alex got to see Cara in her dress for the first time, then we drove into Santo Domingo and went to the Cathedral of Santa Maria where we shot the pictures in front of the church with the pigeons posted here. We also went to the botanical gardens, it was really cool! I loved the bamboo!

Cara’s dad walked her “down the aisle” towards Alex. I think this was the first time I’ve seen the first meeting done this way, I liked it!

Alex’s first reaction

That’s Cara’s parents in the background watching.. They didn’t know they were in the picture

Cara bought Alex’s wedding ring and he hadn’t seen it yet, he was bouncing up and down anxious to see it!

This was a perfect picture for the first image in their slideshow!

I’ll get the rest of their pictures posted soon!

I just posted pictures from Caitlin and John’s Chicago Wedding here, but thought this deserved it’s own post:)

The morning of the wedding they did what they called a slog… technically a slow jog, on the way to breakfast. Everyone was supposed to wear 80’s clothes, and they danced along to an ipod. It really was a blast!

Chicago Wedding Photography

Wednesday, December 23, 2009 Posted in Weddings

Several months ago I shot a very fun wedding in Chicago and I never finished posting it so I thought I’d throw some of my favorites online.

Caitlin and John were married in Chicago, they had a very small intimate wedding, only inviting their closest friends and immediate family. I loved it! The ceremony was held a Maxim’s, and the reception on Lake Michigan on Odyssey II.

John and Caitlin wrote their own vows… well, really they did their own ceremony for the most part. John’s dad technically officiated, but it was very personal with just Caitlin and John on stage for the majority of the ceremony.

They did a sand ceremony instead of a unity candle, and the stand had a mirror, this image show’s John’s mom watching as he’s reading the vows.

Check out this emblem… it’s obviously not in focus… can you tell what kind of car this is

Check out the view during dinner!

For a few more pictures during the reception: http://www.matthewgordonblog.com/?p=348
