Client: Mr. & Mrs. Krzywonos

  Ending the busiest season Bendersama Photography has had, I thought it necessary to post my latest wedding shoot.  These wonderful friends of the Bendersama Photography family were the first ones to hire me and kick off what would turn out to be a huge watershed moment for this business's year.  The bride and groom had a blue theme, along with being fellow Chicagoland residents are big Blues Brothers fans! The below photos are just some of the ones captured during the event, and boy...what a great event!

Client: Mr. & Mrs. Dixon's Wedding

   Here at Bendersama Photography, we try to be a jack-of-all-trades in photography.  The concept to deny a potential client or genre of photography is foreign to the business because it's like leaving money on the table.  So when offered an opportunity to photograph not just one but two separate weddings I had to step up to the plate, even if the last wedding was done in 2009....  Here's the first wedding, below is the wedding of Rahim and Samantha Dixon.

  I personally would like to thank Sami, a former co-worker, for reaching out to me asking for a photographer.  It was through this shoot, and the results shown, that has promoted me for two other possible clients and shows my next wedding that I have the chops to handle a wedding, even many years after my last one.  So, with one wedding in the bag and one on the horizon.  where does this leave Bendersama Photography's website and blog.  

  September- October is touch and go.  If it's not for the weddings, a newborn baby shoot, marketing agency clients, and a "vacation" in California to chronicle a family's baptism I'd be more active doing the Blog and working on my -Con collection.  I can go more into this briefly in a couple weeks, but as blogs go it will be my  -Con collection explanation, my second wedding,  and maybe one or two other updates before I'm gone for three weeks from the internet.  I promise though that I'll be plugging away at getting clients,  creating new art, and learning more about photography each and everyday.  Thanks for stopping by and I'll see you all very shortly!
