My first wedding of 2017 was AMAZING!! As a Chicago wedding photographer, this would also be my first same-sex wedding and I was so excited to have such an amazing couple to photograph!! I am so proud of my city that we have respect for love in all forms. Love is love and all love is beautiful. I photographed this happy and super sweet same-sex couple at the contemporary Venue Six10 in Chicago on a brisk March Saturday afternoon. We started the day off with the two grooms getting ready separately. Followed by a private first look at Grant Park and some intimate portraits of the happy couple. It wasn’t long before the wedding party joined in for portraits. We finished the immediate family portraits before the Ceremony was to begin. As Jeremy and Patrick both agree, it was great to get so many pictures taken before the ceremony. This allowed them to get right to the party and begin to celebrate with family and friends after the ceremony concluded!!
There were so many favorite moments and images from this wedding, It is hard to decide what was my favorite moment. From the amazing Horderves that were served by Blue Plate Catering. The beautiful floral arrangements and Chuppah that were both timeless and elegant designed by Flowers for Dreams . The amazing entertainment and ambiance that was carefully selected. It was really hard to pick just one favorite, no detail was left unplanned. Jeremy’s most anticipate pictures and favorite moment from the day was the breaking of the glass and first kiss at the ceremony. Patrick was excited to see ceremony pictures from under the Chuppah as well as the really fun Hora dance!! My amazing second photographer Jon and I got some really great perspectives of that fun traditional dance. I actually laughed out loud while editing it!! The hora dance and the first dance portraits were my personal favorites from the day. The entertainment by the Chicago band Greenlight was some of the best I have seen as a Chicago Wedding photographer. I have photographed a lot of weddings, this one was defiantly one of the best parties!! This was such a great wedding and I am very excited to be starting another season as a Chicago Wedding Photographer and look forward to so many more amazing weddings this year. Congratulations Jeremy and Patrick, I wish you nothing but love and laughter as you begin your happily ever after!! Cheers!! <3
