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.


Engaged: Anne & Niels ~ Destination Wedding Photographer

I arrived into Aarhus, Denmark on a Sunday around noon and there was snow all around.  In the years that I lived in Denmark it snowed maybe twice, a condition I lamented at the time.  Now living in Chicago where we get our fair share, I’m content.

Although snow was likely not in their plans when they chose a late February wedding date, neither the cold nor the snow could dampen the excitement of these two.  After picking me up from the airport, we drove to the harbor for a refreshing walk (much needed after all those hours breathing airplane air) and a mini-engagement session.  Although not typically done in Denmark, these two were ready for any excuse that encouraged them to cuddle and kiss.  And I certainly didn’t discourage them, thrilled as I was to see my dear friend Anne so completely in-love with her Niels.

They are like magnets, constantly drawn to each other.

When the brisk cold finally penetrated, we warmed up with some coziness at their new home.

Just days before they had lugged their new king-sized mattresses up 5 flights of stairs (twice, thanks to an Ikea error).  One of their favorite things to do in their comfy new bed was to cuddle up (of course) and watch movies on the computer.  I couldn’t resist capturing what I imagine will be the scene of many a lazy Saturday afternoon.
