I am always honored to shoot each and every wedding, and Patrick and Leah’s was really, really an honor. They had a small ceremony at Riverside with just family and a “reception” at Patrick’s parent’s cabin near De Soto. Their reception involved an absolutely lovely dinner on their porch that the whole family helped to make. The only guests were immediate family and me (and my awesome assistant for the day, Kamin). In the seven years that I’ve been a wedding photographer, I’ve never really photographed a wedding like this, and I doubt it will happen very much in the future. Thank you to the Bortz and Tegen families for including me this amazing day. It was something I’ll always remember.
Details:
- Ceremony: Riverside International Gardens
- Reception: Private residence near De Soto
- Everything else, the Bortz and Tegen families, including the handmade dining table, flowers, food, and so on
Before I left, they set off paper lanterns. It was just the perfect night to watch them slowly fade off into the distance.
