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.


Love: Anne & Niels ~ Portraits ~ Destination Wedding Photographer

Thursday, March 11, 2010

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 & then singing songs about the couple, putting on funny skits to “roast” one or both members of the pair, make speeches and more.  It is a fun evening with plenty of heartfelt moments and laughter.

If this was the first time you met Anne & Niels, there is one thing of which you would never doubt: they are the most IN-LOVE couple in all of Aarhus, if not all of Denmark.  I can’t even recall the number of skits, songs or speeches by friends & family that referenced that these two are absolutely, 100%, completely SMITTEN with each other.

Although the weather prevented us from taking too much time for portraits (I make no apologies in saying that I could easily spend 2+ hours shooting wedding portraits if the couple is game- I LOVE them), I am in love with what we captured, and in love with this bride & groom.

Anne & Niels,

Tusind tak fordi jeg maa vaere vidne til jeres kaerlighed.  Den er en vidunderlig ting at se paa.

Knus,
K~

The angles and compositions are so flattering... what a beautiful couple!! With so many posts of 20-somethings, it's so refreshing to see such a gorgeous couple ROCKING the over-25 group!

March 12, 2010 - 1:16 am Matt Stanton - So much love and warmth coming from then in what must be a freezing setting! You've really captured them well!

March 11, 2010 - 11:06 pm Alen Abdula - I love how clean the images are. Very little to no post production, I like it. Often times, clients just want to see nice clean photos, and we're caught up over-processing our photos to develop some form of style. I like how clean these are. Great work!

March 11, 2010 - 11:01 pm Molly W. - Oh man, SO gorgeous! Anne looks S.T.U.N.N.I.N.G. You can tell how in love they are...so sweet and endeering. Great job Kels, absolutely beautiful.

March 11, 2010 - 9:47 pm Laurie Peacock - The landscape is so beautiful. Welcome back to, er, the cold. :-P
