Patricia & Gaston | Chicago Wedding

Coincidence.  It’s a fun word.  I prefer SERENDIPITY: ORIGIN 1754: coined by Horace Walpole, suggested by The Three Princes of Serendip, the title of a fairy tale in which the heroes “were always making discoveries, by accidents and sagacity, of things they were not in quest of.”  Making discoveries…of things we’re not in quest of.  How is it that we find the loves in our lives?  Serendipity.  How wonderful is it when we meet someone only to realize through conversation, that we have so much in common?  I love to make connections with people by the commonalities in our lives.  It makes for a much easier conversation.

Paty and Gaston’s wedding was full of relationships that have formed via serendipity.  They were surrounded by love and loved ones.  There was a point in the evening when I felt that you could take a slice of the air and taste nothing but sweet love.  Everyone was happy to see each other, happy for their reason to be there, happy to have been asked to share in their celebrations.

Paty & Gaston, thank you for allowing me into your family.  Thank you for trusting me with documenting your love and the love shared within your families.

Flor Del Monte never fails to deliver gorgeous florals to their brides.  This particular bouquet was made with extra special love and care.

 

After the ceremony, we went into a model airplane flying field for a few lovely photographs with the beautiful couple.

So much fun, then…

 

 

Not a dry eye in the house.
