Welcome to the Blog!

Hi, my name is Patrick Louie.

I am a pharmacist in study, but a photographer in trade and heart!  I am the husband of my dear wife Michelle (the editor) and the father of two healthy boys (the monsters). 

I blame my wife for pushing me into this profession.  I blame her for forcing me to follow something that releases my passion to be creative.  She is the one to blame when I catch that moment when a tear falls from a bride's eye during an embrace or when the reaction a groom expresses when he sees his bride to be for the first time walking down the isle in her wedding dress.

Thats what my life is.  I love to shoot.  You can blame my wife for pushing me to do this, but you can blame me for loving it!

I’m glad I had the privilege to be a part of this EPIC wedding.  Though the day was long and HOT, their love pulled through!

Nuong and Hao’s Wedding

Finally had a chance to finalize a few things for Nuong and Hao’s wedding.  Its a great big family with BIG love.  This was the first FAMILY wedding that I have shot and I’m proud and honored that I was there!  Special thanks goes out to stephen, the second shooter for the event.  It was a long day, but it was worth it!

We made a Dvd for the family of these slide shows, but this is for the “on the go” tech savvy relatives!!!  You know who you are!

*Please note that the (HQ) button next to the volume is for the high definition version, and there is a FULL SCREEN option in the corner.

The entire event is finalized and approved… Located HERE.

Chicago Trash the Dress (TTD) 04/18/10

I had a chance to meet some great photographers on the last meeting of the Chicago TTD group last sunday.  I wanted to thank @MelissaDiep for getting the whole group together!!!  It was fun to shoot in a group again.  I haven’t done that in a while and I hope to be doing more of it!  Even though I lived around Bunker Hill Park Preserve like all my life, I never realized all the photo opportunities that existed there!  Major Win for the group meet…  Major FAIL for us getting kicked out because of a permit!

Please enjoy some of my fav pics of the day!!!

Maysa and Jeremiah Wedding Preview

Here are a few shots from Maysa and Jeremiah’s wedding.  It was a chilly day but that didn’t keep these two from the altar!  We started out at Alice Milar in Evanston and ended up at Manzo’s in Des plaines.  I was so glad to be part of their special day!  Here are a few previews of the day.

Congrats you two!!!  You make a lovely couple!!!

Stained Glass was such a great backdrop!
