Illinois gay wedding photographer: Richard and Joe tied the knot on October 11, 2014 in a beautiful brunch wedding at the Polo Cafe in Chicago. Their touching wedding was a refreshing break from the standard night time soiree and featured their new extended family.

Chicago Suburban Gay Wedding Photographer: Following Chris and Tom’s wedding at Bethel United Church of Christ in Elmhurst, Illinois, we headed to Wilder Park to shoot formal photos. We had to cut things short when a massive thunderstorm passed over. Thankfully we took refuge in another couples tent from a wedding that took place earlier that day. Once the flash flood was over the shoeless grooms ran to their car so we could make it to the reception on time.
Illinois LGBT Wedding Photographer: Louis & Bob

Illinois LGBT Wedding Photographer: Saint Paul’s United Church of Christ & Germania Place, were the perfect backdrops for the LGBT wedding of two amazing people, Louis & Bob. Though we only met once before the wedding because they live in Champaign, we had a great rapport which led to making some great photos. I love the look of the old Chicago, Illinois church and the warm tones of the reception space.

Last week I updated my website to include a new wedding section, with over a hundred new photos of brides and grooms tying the knot.
The weddings I had the privilege to witness over the summer covered a range of emotions and locations. There were great moments and particularly memorable were Pete & Mike’s Lake Michigan reception and this moment below with Bob & Louis right after their ceremony.
