Kendra Adams & Eric Ring were married at Chain of Lakes Bible Church in Antioch, IL. We started by taking photos at Kendra's parent's house and then had the first look at the church. We went to Hiram Butrick Sawmill in Antioch, IL to shoot wedding party photos and some romantic photos of the happy couple. After the ceremony the reception was held at Concorde Banquets in Kildeer, IL.

Kendra posed with her dad and his refurbished hotrod. That was lots of fun. The sawmill is a beautiful place to shoot with a wedding party. Chain of Lakes Bible Church has amazing natural light. Concorde Banquets' facility has a wonderful property to shoot wedding photos complete with a large pond, gazebo and blooming trees and lush grass. The food was excellent. Memory Makers DJ Service was a pleasure to work with. Kendra's Satin A-Line Gown was purchased at David’s Bridal, her shoes were also from David’s Bridal called Dyeable Peep Toe Heel.

I was one of the first to own the Canon 5D MIII in Wisconsin on March 19 I drove to Mike Crevellos in Milwaukee, WI to pick up my new camera. I shot several text shots comparing to the 5D MII. I used a 25-105 f4 L lens on both cameras. For the outdoor photos I shot in Landscape mode, ISO 100 and had identical settings on both cameras. I was hoping to see a greater vibrancy in the blues and greens. For the indoor photos I shot in increasingly high ISOs with f8 and increased the shutter to maintain a proper exposure. I used a video light with white shoot through umbrella from Lowell Tota and set a custom white balance to 3200 Kelvin. I shot all the photos in Large JPG with no editing except to composite the photos next to each other. When I cropped the photos I cropped them exactly proportional.
