Meet Jimmy Coston

A documentation for

A Documentary

_______________

I was contacted by Nick Coston to help him photograph and shoot a documentary film that he is making on his uncle, James Coston. James was an immigrant turned film industry pioneer in Chicago. Through this documentary, Nick will be telling of his uncle's life, as well as revealing some secrets that it seems the family doesn't yet know...

For more information and a sneak peak at Nick's film, check out the website at http://www.meetjimmycoston.com/

Here are some of the images from James' last place of residence in Chicago, along with its current owner (who is completely gutting the place). Check back early next year for the results from the remodeling!

Also in this blog, you'll see photos of a historian who has been helping Nick gather information for this documentary, as well as Nick's brother (also named James).

Eric & Kristin

Their Wedding Day

September 26, 2009

I met Eric and Kristin through my friend Mara. They've been such a wonderful couple to work with, and I couldn't feel more fortunate that they found me! Their wedding day was absolutely lovely, and filled with emotional and happy moments. Kristin made sure that every last detail of the day was planned for, which made for an even more beautiful day!

The happy couple opted to meet before the ceremony to take photos together, this way there wouldn't be a rushed feeling between the ceremony and reception. Eric and his beautiful bride to be shared a wonderful moment together by the fountain in Adam's Park in Wheaton, IL.

Their beautiful candlelit ceremony at First Baptist Church in Wheaton resulted in many shared tears in the congregation, as Kristin surprised Eric by singing him a song that she wrote for him.

Their reception was held at Cress Creek Country Club in Naperville, IL. Their celebration was the perfect ending to a beautiful day.

Congratulations to you both again! May your future together be filled with endless photographs of beautiful moments shared :)
