Celebrations matter.
Celebrations matter because we bring our communities, our families, our tribes together so rarely.
A wedding day isn’t the day that two people decide to spend their lives together – that is an ongoing process, started before the wedding, lasting throughout their marriage.
A wedding day is simply the day that we choose to celebrate it – that we say to our communities “we have chosen each other”, and that your community gets to finally party!
And that is pretty much what happened for Emma and Al’s wedding at the Madison Club. A totally gorgeous day, a breaking of the glass, some hilarious toasts, and a lot of dancing.
Thank you, Emma and Al, for choosing me to document your wedding and letting me hang out with all your rad friends all day. I loved traveling to for your engagement photos in Chicago, and I’m psyched for all the future celebrations to come!
