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.

No one really said that to me but I’ve been saying it to myself for years, until about 2 years ago I stopped overthinking about the locations. Take me to the alley or the most overshot location in Chicago and I’ll do my best to make it look unique. I’m not sure if I’m succeeding but I’m sure as hell I’m trying . ;)
