Ten Year Chicago Vow Renewal – Kenley & Adam
Kenley and Adam’s vow renewal ceremony this month was one of the most unique sessions I’ve ever photographed. And not just because it was my first vow renewal.
On the foggiest day in June, ten years after their wedding day, we met at Clark Chapel in Hyde Park to celebrate their marriage. Adam and Kenley read vows they’d written themselves, and re-exchanged their wedding rings – this time attached to a dolphin stuffed animal they’d acquired on their honeymoon! It was sweet, simple, and all about them.
After the ceremony we headed downtown for portraits! Kenley wanted photos in the city where they fell in love and got engaged – so we made it happen. They took selfies in our Uber and told me about their wedding day a decade earlier. You’d never guess they’d been married for ten years… they were as giddy and in love as newlyweds! At one point they were even stopped by a passerby who thought they were professional models!!
Kenley and Adam: thank you again for allowing me to capture this milestone in your lives. My wish is for every couple to have ten happy, healthy years, and still look at each other the way you do. Here’s to another decade of the same 🙂
