Chicago Photographer + Kelly Ry Photography bio picture

Welcome, welcome!

Whether it's my home or my blog, I love visitors.  The ones that come to my home to visit add something new and interesting to the mix of daily life. But then they leave again, forcing me to return to daily life without their smiles and laughter.  The great thing about blog visitors is that they can come again and again, and need never leave. 

Photographer Vincent Versace said, "We came to photography because the world moves us in such a way that we want to photograph what we see so others can be moved the way we were."  And so it was for me.  Despite my deplorable skills with a canvas and paints, I found the joy of creativity with a camera.  

So welcome.  Make yourself at home.  Enjoy the people in love, the gorgeous details, and adorable families.  I'd love to hear from you.

PS. And as much as I love having visitors, I love being a visitor!  Although based in Chicago, IL I have had the pleasure traveling around the world to capture weddings and families, and I would love to come visit you.  Live across the country (or continent) or planning a destination wedding?  I'm a wonderful guest.  And I bring my camera.

If you’ve never been to a Danish wedding dinner (in Denmark), I highly recommend trying it some time.  Not only is there course after course of amazing food but it is a treat to be a witness to the love in the room.  Guests show their happiness and best wishes for the newlyweds by writing...

Love: The Bride ~ Anne ~ Destination Wedding Photographer

Anne.  My sweet, freckle-faced friend has one of the most beautiful smiles I know and a warm personality to match.  I spent every day of the week before her wedding with her and not once did she appear anxious, nervous or stressed.  Perhaps it’s because she was so organized with lists and lists, covering every...
