Kevin & Brandon’s Stylish Fall Wedding at Ovation Chicago
This past October, I was thrilled to capture Kevin and Brandon’s wedding day at Ovation Chicago. Some of you know these two have had lots of practice in front of my camera: including Brandon’s surprise proposal in March 2021 and their Chicago engagement session last summer! It’s always a pleasure hanging out with these two, and I have been counting the days until their wedding ever since we first met.
Wedding day began with Kevin and Brandon getting ready separately with their parties before meeting up at Ovation. Here, the grooms put on their custom suits together in private, allowing for a big reveal with the wedding party! From there, it was off to Olive Park for some iconic photos with the skyline. We returned just in time for these two to walk down the aisle 🙂
Ovation Chicago Wedding
Kevin and Brandon were married that evening in a romantic, candlelit ceremony surrounded by family and friends. Their mutual friend Allie (who also helped plan Brandon’s proposal!) officiated the ceremony, which included Filipino traditions as well. Once the knot was tied, guests were ready to CELEBRATE the newlyweds into the night! Some favorite details from their reception include the Filipino folk dancers, their choreographed first dance, and Salsa dance lessons during the band break! (Yep, lots of dancing!!)
Kevin and Brandon: Thank you again for trusting me to capture these moments for you!! I absolutely loved being part of the wedding planning story and couldn’t be happier for you two. Wishing you a lifetime of happiness together!
