Steve Goldhaber's Blog » Blog about a Chicago Wedding Photographer

The Chicago Wedding Giveaway contest is finally over. I received just over 125 submissions so thank you to everyone who entered. After looking at many submissions, and hearing some great stories, I’m pleased to announce the winning couple is Andrew and Cindy from Chicago. Andrew does charity work for  Ladder Up. Here’s some information on Andrew and Cindy’s charity…

Since 1994, over 16,000 Ladder Up volunteers have returned $183 million to 100,000 hardworking families, helping them climb above the poverty line. Through our programs, TAP (Tax Assistance Program) and LIFT (Life-Improving Financial Tools), we provide free, real world financial solutions that maximize earnings and savings. Whether it’s getting them the tax refunds they deserve, securing the financial aid that makes higher education a reality, or putting them in touch with reputable banks so they can save on unnecessary fees, we equip our clients with the financial tools they need. Our clients work hard for their money. With our help, their money works harder for them, and that allows the first steps to be taken up and out of poverty.

I received some exciting news a couple weeks ago. I was officially named as one of Chicago’s top wedding photographers according to the Knot. What makes this extra special is the Knot talks to Chicago brides as part of their voting process, so some of my former clients voted for me! Here’s a link the page on the Knot where you can find me listed. I’m also listed next to my buddy Kenny Kim.

Kenny – we’ll have to buy each other a bottle of Crystal  next time we meet up!
