  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!

YEAR OF THE ROOSTER: Chinatown Photowalk

It's been a while since I posted on here, and that's going to start to change as it warms up, but I wanted to upload some photos I took on our trip to Chicago's Chinatown during the New Year Celebration.   My trip was cut short how so ever as I wiped out on the street falling on both knees after stepping into and tripping on a pothole.  I made the most of the day, and I intend to return next year, and even sooner as the food was amazing at Triple Crown (not surprised).
