Thank you for taking the time to meet and talk this week, it was nice to sit down with you and your mom to discuss everything you have planned so far. I felt a genuine connection with you, and truly value your appreciation for my work and approach. It's so fundamental to my process to understand who you are, learn your vision and build our rapport so that the day is smooth and memorable for everyone. It would be such a privilege to share this experience with you and Tony, helping tell the story of all the celebration that is to come!

Action
We'll start with always working. Constantly reading the room and thinking through the moment or steps ahead. Being conscious of what is happening, be it ceremonial or personal, and how my presence impacts that environment while still being able to capture it. Understanding when to step back and let the feelings breath, and when to step in and guide the photography. Everyone has different levels of confidence in front of the camera, but I love to learn your playful sides in the relationship and help shape those poses to look and feel authentic.
method
Being comfortable in your moments and the decisions that got you there. I focus on being your photographic guide through planning and an emotional constant day of, blending in and out to let you live in your day. Treating all parties with equity as we weave through events is the groundwork of a candidly told experience that you will continue to revisit. It is an honor to share these incredibly personal days as a matter of professional routine.

You truly are the best in the business! How fortunate we are to have you at both girls weddings. Thank you for everything!!!
Let's keep it simple. Sometimes all we know at booking is a rough timeline, but the connection is there. An engagement session is a wonderful way to create a fun time-and-place experience as you navigate planning, while we also get to know each other more. Plenty of time to talk details about when, where and what to wear! We use this base collection to build a customized proposal or add-ons a la carte as the year takes shape.

Setting the Scene
About Kent
On a personal note, I'm married to my High School Sweetheart, and our relationship is the foundation of my approach to a wedding day. At this point we have spent over half our lives together, which is a fun benchmark to achieve. We have two great kids, both navigating the elementary school life of Evanston, and we keep busy with club soccer and my efforts to turn them into Midwest ski junkies. My business has afforded us the opportunity to be with them on a daily basis since their beginnings, something we would never change.
Not every career can be born from a favor, for this I am lucky. The extent of my formal training is my Dad's camera and a Photo 101 class in the twilight of university. Life brought me to Japan, and with it a new love of photography, documenting our experiences abroad through an inherently natural medium. After relocating to Chicago in 2008, at a friend's request I was photographing my first wedding, and my future couldn't have been more clear.
It has been an amazing journey to this point, working alongside so many talented professionals in landmark buildings and spaces across the country. I didn't see this coming as a kid, and that's just fine, it means I followed my instincts and talents to get here.
