Niti and Manish held their pre-wedding day Garba at The Meadows Club in Rolling Meadows. It was an unbelievably gorgeous evening and I was thrilled to start off with some portraits by the pond with weeping willows and a perfectly gorgeous sky. This beautiful couple chose a wonderful color combination for the evening with bright [...]
Are you feeling sexy?
Have you always wanted to do a “glamour” or “boudoir” session but didn’t want your photos plastered all over the world wide web?
No worries. I’ve got you covered.
I believe everyone should have the opportunity to show off for their partner and I also believe they shouldn’t have to worry about their clients, students, or 14 year old nephew seeing the images online.
At Liesl Diesel Photo I keep your private images private. Any images with your face will never go in a public gallery without your written consent.
And any photo I wouldn’t want my 14 year old son to see is certainly not getting posted on my blog or facebook (in other words, I keep your privates private).
If you have been wanting to surprise that certain someone with a gift you know they will love, don’t let online inhibitions hold you back any longer!
Contact me today to schedule your session!
Packages range from $500 to $1550
Punit & Ruby had me shoot their three day event and, like most 3 day events, it was like running a marathon! Jobs like this are a huge reason why I make myself workout and stay in shape!
I do wonder how the bride and groom can handle it. These quick previews of Ruby in the morning and Punit’s baraat were taken at 8am in the morning, which means she had probably been up since 4 or 5am! I shot until midnight so I know these two must have been there for at least an hour after me!
These quick morning portraits of Ruby were taken at the Hilton Rosemont, and Punit’s baraat images were taken en route to the Rosemont Donald E. Stephens Convention Center.
I love the bokeh in this photo, you can see Ruby having her henna applied on this blog post! Check out their engagement shoot as well!
Once in Krabi we relaxed by our pool at the Railay Great View Resort & Spa, rented sea kayaks and toured around the islands, did some rock climbing and ate some great food! Special shout out to Elaine, our travel agent, of N-JOY Rock Climbing for helping us with booking flights, resorts, and helping us get to know Krabi! I took a real break from photographing and only shot sunrise on one morning. It was perfect!

Just a few shots from a bored photographer while waiting in airports for my next adventure!
One shot from Narita airport in Tokyo, Japan, the rest are from the Suvarnabhumi International Airport in Bangkok, Thailand.
Kristine & Jonathan have a pretty fun story!
They are high school sweethearts and now they both work at Bank of America and are also into running. The real kind of running; the kind most of us look at as some kind of super hero power because they do it for hours and hours on end. This can only lead me to believe that, since they are both sweethearts, love running, and both work at Bank of America, that within a couple of years they will be Sweetly Running Bank of America!
We started our portrait session at the Chicago Board of Trade
As we walked toward the intersection of Jackson & LaSalle I saw this light dancing back and forth between the buildings, I love it!
I love this expression!
After Jackson & Lasalle we headed to the BP Bridge
This canvas will soon be on their wall!

You two are so wonderful, I can't wait to shoot your next big life event!!
Fire burns.
Fire purifies.
We all have to walk through fires in our lives at some point. We can choose to let trials burn us, or we can choose to let them purify us.
In relationships we all have trials, and as I have gotten to know Carrie and Jamil a bit more, I have had the opportunity to see how they allow trials in their lives to encourage growth.
I love the room at Zed451, it allowed me to create this awesome allegorical image :)
Carrie walks through fire
the room at zed451 is earthy and urban, all in one.
I love kids at weddings!
The Ceremony was performed by Anita from Anita Weds, she is a delight!

Xue & Wen were married on September 24, 2011 at the beautiful Chicago Cultural Center.
The architecture of this building is so beautiful, I love shooting there! It was a rainy day, so we shot everything indoors!
Congratulations to both of you! Thank you so much for choosing me to document your ceremony!
Xue & Wen wait in the lobby! This is moments before their ceremony!
I loved the detail on Wen's dress!
Wen walks down the aisle!
The ceremony was in the Gar Memorial Hall

These two are so adorable!

On April 1st, 2011 Nicole and Damien admitted they were fools for love at The Weathervane in Chapel Hill, NC!
I loved the intimate garden setting for the ceremony, it gave is such a personal feel. I also enjoyed playing with the flaring light and bending vines!
"The greatest happiness of life is the conviction that we are loved, loved for ourselves, or rather loved in spite of ourselves." Victor Hugo
The private terrace at the Weathervane was the perfect backdrop for Nicole & Damien's intimate wedding.
I also loved that Nicole picked white dresses for her bridesmaids!
Damien was so calm and confident!
And of course the wind and light work together to make a perfect scene for me!
I loved this moment! Congratulations, I will post more soon! <3 Liesl
