Allysia + Matt {The Wedding Book}

Ramiro — Sat, 17 Jul 2010 02:33:00 +0000

It’s been almost a year since I updated my site with any new content. Some may have thought I just gave up and quit, but nothing could be further from the truth. The truth is that I let the updates here slip because at the end of 2009 my family and I moved to South TX to help take care of my elderly parents. At the same time, I have been working on launching a new studio that will focus on modern and contemporary senior portraits, or how I like to call it, “Rule Breaking Senior Photography”. The new studio name is Ma Vie Studio and it’s opening it’s doors on 8/4/2010.

I photographed weddings until the end of 2009, then for most of 2010 I have taken a sabbatical to focus on Ma Vie Studio, but as Ma Vie is just about ready to open it’s doors, I have now turned my focus to Rosy’s Photography and I have some exciting changes coming.

Now, Allysia and Matt’s wedding last year was a fenomenal wedding and I was truly blessed to be a part of their special day. Since their wedding last year was one of my career highlights, I decided to commemorate the re-focusing of Rosy’s Photography with an album design from their beautiful wedding. Please click the link below, and I hope that through the images and the album design you are taken on the journey to “see” their wedding story as I experienced it.

Allysia + Matt {Wedding Story}

Ramiro — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 15:00:32 +0000

This is part 2 of Allysia and Matt’s wedding story. A few days ago I shared a few images from their rehearsal dinner and now, here is a small taste of the images of their wedding. I am so blessed to have been a part of such wonderful people. Allysia and Matt were just awesome, they were laid back, they enjoyed their wedding day, their family and their friends. Allysia told me during our planning session that she wanted some “different” pictures, and those we created, believe it or not, at midnight. At Big Foot Country Club in Fontana, there are 7 ponds, which are sacred ponds made by native indians from that area a long time ago. When the country club opened, they brought a member of the tribe to bless the 7 ponds. It was next to one of these ponds with a small waterfall that we captured the last images of the night. Goes to show how important the photography was for Allysia and Matt, even at midnight, they were willing to go out and create something unique, something that I know they will treasure forever. Thanx guys for being such wonderful people, and I hope you like the images I was able to create. Click on the last image for the slide show (be patient while it loads).

Allysia + Matt {Rehearsal Story}

Ramiro — Fri, 11 Sep 2009 16:25:54 +0000

I have been blessed to be a part of the most amazing wedding in my career. The locations were amazing, beautiful, and the lighting was simply perfect, but most of all, it was the people. Allysia and Matt are two of the most wonderful people you can ever meet. They are fun, passionate about life, and they have wonderful families that love them dearly. The following is a little taste of the images I was able to capture for them during the rehearsal for their wedding. Click on the last image to see the slide show for their rehearsal (be patient while it loads). Make sure to come back and visit often, as I am working on their wedding images and I’ll be putting those up in the next few days.

Jessica + Kevin

Ramiro — Thu, 04 Jun 2009 21:31:12 +0000

I had the privilege of working with Jessica & Kevin for their wedding pictures. Jessica & Kevin will stand as one of the most memorable weddings for me. When I met them and they told me that the bridal party were their kids, the ring bearer was their nephew, the flower girl was their niece, it became apparent that their wedding was very centered around their family. I had an amazing time and I am truly blessed to have been part of their special day. Jessica is a real state attorney and boy did she give me a real scare when she sent out the time line and wedding details, because she sent it in her firm’s letterhead and when I saw it, my heart sank and my brain started racing at 100 miles an hour as to what I had done, if I was going to jail, if I was loosing my house, etc. Then I saw that it was the time line…let’s just say that my heart took a few moments coming back up to my chest. Now we laugh so hard about it, but it was hilarious. Thanx Jess & Kevin, for sharing your wonderful family and your amazing wedding with me. Here is but a small sample of the images I created for you guys, hope you love them as much as I do. Click on the last image to see their slideshow.

Congratulations Jackie & Bill

Ramiro — Mon, 09 Mar 2009 20:51:59 +0000

I had the priviledge of photographing Jackie & Bill’s wedding this past weekend.Â Jackie and Bill were a ton of fun, very laid back and just a great couple to be around.Â They could not have picked a more beautiful location for both, their ceremony and their reception.Â The Barn of Barrington has got to be my favorite place to shoot of all locations I have shot at.Â It’s a bit of a challenge to light it well because, well, it’s a barn, but the character of the place, and all the little rooms and nooks and cranies to shoot in, just make it an amazing place for a wedding.Â I took a bit of time last night to work a few images for Jackie and Bill so they can enjoy and share with their friends.Â I hope you guys enjoy the images as much as I enjoyed creating them.

Tracey and Brian have been one of the best couples I have worked with, and amazingly beautiful.Â They had a moment where they saw each other prior to the ceremony, and it was a moment filled with emotion and tenderness.Â Tracey and Brian were married in St. Benedict Catholic Church in Fontana WI, then we went to Lake Geneva Lake for some pictures on the boat peers, and finally we went to Yerkes Observatory in Williams Bay WI for some more pictures with the beautiful Fall colors and some amazing architecture.Â Finally the reception took place at Monte Carlo Room in Elkhorn WI.Â I took a moment to show some of the pictures to Tracey’s mom during the reception and she loved them so much that she said she wanted to see them as soon as possible.Â So, as a small gift of thanx for the opportunity to be a part of such an amazing wedding and equally amazing couple here are a couple of images from the shoot, but follow the link below to see a slide show of the wedding day.Â As always, you comments are encouraged and welcome.

The wedding of Vero & Beto

Ramiro — Wed, 27 Aug 2008 20:45:49 +0000

I know Vero and Beto from church. Â They are a couple of wonderful people, very outgoing and very sincere and just recently, they were blessed with the birth of a little girl, who joined the people of God through the sacrament of baptism on the same day they got married. Â Not only that, but their older daughter also received our Lord in the sacrament of the Most Holy Eucharist, also on the same day, so it was a day full of grace and love in a family commited to God. Â Vero and Beto were married in St. Joseph Catholic Church in Harvard IL and the reception was in the old church building from Holy Apostles Church in McHenry IL. Â We went by the Woodstock square for their portraits as well. Â Here are a few images from their special day which I was blessed to take part in. Â Hope you guys like it.

Congratulations Lisa & Mike

Ramiro — Wed, 31 Oct 2007 05:10:17 +0000

Lisa and Mike were a great couple to work with and an absolutely beautiful couple. Lisa and Mike were married Oct. 20, 2007 at Saint Peter and Paul Catholic Church in Naperville IL, we did the photo walk at the Morton Arboretum in Lisle IL, and the reception was held at DiNolfo’s Banquet Hall in Homer Glenn IL. They are very young, but very much in love and their wedding was just amazingly beautiful. From Lisa’s wedding gown to the reception decorations, to the most simple of details, the good taste and meticulous planning was abundantly evident. I had a great time working with Mike and Lisa and the wedding party, all of them are just a great and fun group of people to be around. Everyone was having a great time and I was rather surprised for how calm and composed Mike was before the ceremony. Here is but a small sample of the images I was able to create for them.

Congratualtions Indra & Scot

Ramiro — Fri, 28 Sep 2007 15:08:06 +0000

I had the priviledge of photographing Indra and Scot’s wedding on September 22, 2007. Indra and Scot were maried in St. Peter Catholic Church in Antioc IL. We shot portraits of them at the Mundelein Seminary with family, friends, and the bridal party. Finally, the reception was held at the Country Squire in Grayce Lake IL. As you will be able to see, both Indra and Scot are amazingly beautiful people and not only from their looks, but from their personality, they were just a blessing to work with. A first for me was that they released over 20 white doves after the ceremony. Originally, Indra and her family are from Lithuania and they got some Lithuanian dancers to perform some traditional dances with traditional dress. What I loved about the dances is that each dance has a meaning and a message, and the dancing was just amzaing. Indra is a dancer too, so she danced with the group as well. Here are few of the many images I created for them and as always, your comments are welcome and encouraged.
