Mark Trela Photography Every wedding tells a story. It's a story of love, passion and commitment. As it is with life, all the best stories evolve organically.

www.marktrela.com - Mark Trela Photography is a husband and wife Chicago wedding photography team, specializing in photojournalistic and documentary style wedding photography. As much as weddings are well rehearsed and neatly prepared they all share moments of spontaneity and surprise. These moments of pure unfiltered emotions coupled with unconstrained jubilation are what make each and every wedd

ing a unique and wonderful event. These are the raw elements that drive us as photographers and make us so passionate and excited about wedding photography. It’s that rare contradiction between organized and impulsive that manifests itself throughout the wedding day. It’s the grand showcase of love and all the small instants of life that create the whole story.

Samuel and Leah are getting married today. The wedding I’ve been looking forward to the most this year so far. These two are the kindest, sweetest human beings one can imagine to be photographing.

A few portraits Jane and Vincent who traveled from a sunny / warm Atlanta to a barely sunny and cold Chicago for this session. They took on the wind and temps barely hitting 40F like it was a midsummer! Rock stars!! Can't wait to document their wedding in May in hopefully warmer days (can this winter move on already ;)

I had a photo-related nightmare last night and it was very real. I dreamed I forgot my cameras to the wedding and had to shoot the day with a toy camera. I was so freaked out! :) Any wedding photo folks can relate? Also, still fresh on the blog this wedding. Link in the profile.

New post = link in the profile. As I’m wrapping up editing of my 2024 season while simultaneously trying to highlight a bit of my older work via old school blogging. Check it out if you will. Any suggestion of showcasing more from my profile?
