Lost and found

One of the happiest days of my life was being the photographer at my little sister’s wedding in Chicago! Jezzeca and I were separated at a very young age. We had different mothers who went in different directions and found ourselves lost. In a time where social media was non-existent, we carried only our memories of each other.

Ten years passed and through luck with a sprinkle of fate, we were reunited once more! Her luck didn’t slow down and she would soon get to meet the future father of her family.

The wedding

The morning began at the mother of the bride’s home where time was never going to be on our side. The air was rich in hairspray and perfume and the sounds of wandering feet intensified with each passing minute. Soon the limo would arrive like a horse and carriage sweeping her off to prince charming!

Navigating the tight streets of Chicago, the limo raced off to the Liberty Christian Center Church. Waves of guests crashed on the church steps and poured in the doors by the dozen. It was the sound of everything coming to a mute as she walked through the doors; it was the rows of family and friends hardly containing their excitement; it was the moment right before the first kiss of the rest of their lives – and fate would allow me the best seat in the house!

The reception

Before we arrived at Michelle’s Ballroom, we stopped at Humboldt Park in Chicago to get some photographer time with the wedding party. We had limited space and time was short, but still walked away with some great shots and memorable moments!

The night was young and Mexican families are not known for checking out early. Michelle’s Ballroom was filled with drinks, food and laughter throughout the celebration. The groomsmen showed off their moves, and they were followed by the first dance. After the parents joined in, a Mexican tradition took place called the ‘Money Dance’ where guests would pin money on the bride in exchange for a dance! The remainder of the night was filled with lights, music, and oneness. The perfect way to end a perfect day.
