Chris and Victor were married outside at Marquette Park Pavilion overlooking the beautiful lagoon near Miller Beach. Friends and family took in every word of their heartfelt vows as they read them to each other and the crowd burst with excitement as they were officially married.

Our day started with some prep photos as they helped each other tie their bowties. When they were fully dressed in their stylish fitted suits we had a ceremonial first look and then walked around the area taking photos.

First Look

Although Chris and Victor got each other ready, they still decided to separate and have a reveal, a first look. It was a nice, quiet moment with no one around in which they could chat about this momentous occasion they had spent the previous year planning.

Ceremony

Marquette Park Pavilion has an outdoor deck that is quite large and I estimated at least 250 guests for the ceremony with room to spare.

The ceremony featured speeches from friends and heartfelt vows read to each other. Pure joy and bubbles from the flower girl and ring bearer filled the air.

Reception

The reception was held in the ballroom of Marquette Park Pavilion, while the cocktail hour was a combination of the outside deck and an adjacent lounge.

Wedding receptions are certain celebrations, but I rarely see a full dance floor before the couple's introduction! What can you say? The joy at this wedding simply could not be contained.

Traditional cake-cutting took place, and dances and speeches were on hand within the confines of the elegant ballroom.

DJ Hype was in the balcony getting the crown revved up, and their live drummer kept the beat below.

Short Film

Chris and Victor opted to add a Short Film to their package so they could relive the day in video and share on social media.
