Chicago Wedding Photography Family Portrait Photographer | Otto Rascon » Otto Rascon is a Chicago photographer specializing in wedding photography and family portraits.

Hello there and welcome to my blog!

My name is Otto Rascon and thanks for checking out my blog. So why a blog? So glad you asked. My blog allows me to communicate and share more of myself and my images with you. Some may only look at the cool photographs, others may read the story behind the photos.

I am from the awesome city of Chicago and currently live in Joliet. I love photographing people! Seriously, what other profession would allow me to interact with amazing people, provide them with a meaningful product, and allows for some major fun and creativity?

Children grow up so fast and wedding day memories quickly fade only to be remembered by the photos in the album. Capturing fleeting moments is very important to me, that is why I love photographing weddings and families. I love seeing how my photographs enrich and bring color to peoples lives. Stay a while and check out some of my work. Feel free to call me at 773.234.6886 or email me at info[at] ottorascon[dot]com or via the Contact link.

The Big “Manzana” & U2 Have Have Their Own “Way”

11.28.2009 Posted in Misc., Personal

New York is the one city that I am just bursting to visit. My wife and I have been wanting to go for a few years now… I think that it is time that we check out New York. I am a very big U2 fan, which adds another reason to visit NY. I mean what other city has a street named after my favorite band? Any city that is that cool has to be visited and loved. Plus, my daughter would probably really love Central Park and I would probably really love the Guggenheim Museum. I would for sure LOVE to shoot a wedding in New York… maybe soon :)

I would also love to meet and hang out with some of NY’s most amazing photographers. Check out some of their work:

Jason Groupp – NYC’s most awesome wedding photographer. This dude rocks.
John Michael Cooper – Amazing wedding photography. Amazing off camera flash work. Check him out.
