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.


Wedding Details: C & C | Chicago Wedding Photographer

I recently assisted Chicago wedding photographer Laurie Peacock at a wedding at Green Dolphin Street, a very cool jazz club in an industrial part of the city.  Although it threatened to storm all morning, the rain and thunder held off allowing the lovely couple to enjoy their ceremony outside on the lawn, followed by an amazing brunch indoors with friends and family.  (Anybody who serves brunch for their wedding goes immediately to the top of my “Favorite People” list!)  Between the gorgeous flowers, the uber-cool location and the adorable ring-bearers, it was a festive and relaxed party celebrating the a very sweet couple.

The flowers were stunning and the colors worked perfectly with the style and location.  And who doesn’t love peonies!b200906june_0004

The location was so charming and cozy, just right for a luncheon wedding.

What would a wedding be without a little bubbly?  Mimosas and several other unique champagne cocktails were served.  (Wished I was a guest!)

Each guest was thanked for coming with a 2009-10 Zagat guide, a very cool & unique wedding favor.
