Dana White, son of William, started his photography
career in 1967 while still in high school, helping his father, going
to weddings, and taking pictures. Soon after William was diagnosed
with MS, he started to have problems going out to weddings to take
pictures, so in 1969 Dana started shooting weddings on his own for
White Studio Photography.
After the retirement of William, Dana continued to pursue wedding photography, but mainly only for close friends and relatives. Having another full time job, Dana did wedding photography on a word of mouth and referral basis only.
In 1999, Phil White, son of Dana, and grandson of William, interested in wedding photography as well as videography, started offering wedding videography. White Photography & Videography stemmed from this, a father/son team offering both wedding photography and videography. Phil has pursued the White Photography & Videography business, and started little advertisement and created and maintains this website. Phil also obtained a position at the Northern Star Newspaper in DeKalb, IL and now has experience in news and photojournalistic photography. He also has is own personal website (photofill.com) for display of his personal work, and a portfolio of his work from the Northern Star (photographer.whiteography.com).
At White Photography & Videography we realize the stress and expense of weddings today. That is why we offer a different approach. We try to give couples an alternative, and offer services to those couples who don't have multi-thousand dollars to spend on wedding photography and videography. Thanks for your interest in our business, and hope our approach may fit your needs.
Update in 2020: After more than 52 years of wedding photography Dana has retired, but Phil is still offering wedding videography services.
