you didn't do more than the one's you did."

The Awesome Wedding of Angela & Adam

One of the great blessings of weddings is to experience so many traditions that I otherwise never experience.
This Elmhurst based wedding took place at a Greek Orthodox Church (what a ceremony!) then on to the reception where many Greek traditions and dances were featured. To see the whole wedding go to Angela & Adam's Wedding.

Wedding Photography Opportunity
A new professional goal for me is to photograph a wedding in every state of the Union.
To help achieve this goal I will provide a standard wedding package, a $1500 value,
to the first couple in each state who e-mails me stating why their wedding best represents their state.
Travel and hotel costs will apply, Illinois and Indiana are already represented.

Website Creation
Communities of Maple Lawn - Vantage Health Systems


The Communities of Maple Lawn is one of my longest professional relationships. As Creative Strategist I led the creation of a new identity and branding while creating the logo, print materials and especially the web site. Check out the revised website.		Vantage Health Systems is a Mid-West located business that places doctors throughout the country. I revised the existing site, helped create an e-mail blast and consulted with the branding. If you know of doc looking for a new opportunity have them check out the Vantage website.

Eureka Native Ben Zobrist

I am not a sports fan but I am a fan of people. Learning that Eureka native Ben Zobrist made the All Star game last
Tuesday night was quite impressive. Through news connections I discovered a wonderful article in the St. Petersburg Times
that can make us all proud of Ben's Heart of Illinois roots.

You may be aware of my appreciation for a fine cigar and the awesome conversations that go along with the hobby. The Gentleman's Cigar Society of Central Illinois meets monthly during warmer months for dinner, fine smokes and great conversation. Membership is free to those with an appreciation for a fine cigar. Drop me an e-mail to be added to the mailing list or go to the Facebook page.

The Midwest Cigar Summit is an annual event that has been held throughout Central Illinois over the years.
This year the event is proud to be held at Jimmie's Bar on Farmington Road. I hope you and your cigar loving buddies
will join the festivities on September 18 & 19.
