A Classy, Colorful, LGBTQ+ Chicago Wedding

Alyssa and Ashley really wanted to embrace their unique identities in their declaration of love to each other. As proud queer, Jewish, multi-ethnic dog moms, each of these elements was thoughtfully woven into their special day. With a lot of vibrant rainbow theming throughout combined with classic details, that desire shines through in their modern and beautiful Chicago wedding.

There was an abundance of touching moments for me as the photographer, getting to capture how their community embraced and supported them. The guest's deep love and excitement to be part of the celebration bring a gorgeous blend of intimacy and warmth to the Fairlie’s classic, clean, industrial backdrop.

We of course can't forget the couple's adorable pups, Cidy and Parker, when thinking about community, and there is so much joy in all of the photos of them together with their entire adoring family!
