I was so excited earlier this year when Coleman asked me to photograph his wedding. We first met at an art opening at his Logan Square bar Cole’s and have gotten to know each other ever since.

Their ceremony was at St. John the Baptist in Northlake and was my first time at a Greek Melkite church. It was full of joy, laughter and dancing and it was wonderful to be a part of. The reception followed at the Stan Mansion, one of my favorite Chicago venues, and featured some incredible belly dancing by Khazna Khalil.

Congrats to Sara and Coleman, who spent the entire day joking around and smiling, which was extremely contagious and made for a fun day!
