Jeremiah and Kevin were married in a celebration of red, green and gold at The Uptown Center in Michigan City. The posh venue showcased two giant Christmas trees on each side of the stage with many presents below for this holiday wedding.

Our day began with hair and make up for Jeremiah and the grooms-maids at Image House and then we moved on to a whirlwind of emotions at the bridal suite at Uptown Center where gifts were exchanged and happy tears were shed.

With the holiday only 10 days away and the room filled with tree lights, garland and more, I had to incorporate that into our portraits. Jeremiah and Kevin each did solo groom pictures along with their respective grooms-maids and then it was ceremony time.

The Uptown Center has their ceremonies and receptions in the same room so it is always amazing to see it transform. This was especially the case at Jeremiah and Kevin's wedding. The off white cloth runner surrounded with red rose petals seemed to last a mile.

We immediately took wedding party photos as the Uptown Center was being converted from ceremony site to posh night club.

Not only did this Christmas wedding feature music from Rent along with holiday classics. Vocal performances from Sheree Gudeman and Nanda Oliveira were featured in the ceremony. I knew since Jeremiah was a fairly recent winner of the Hoosier Star vocal competition that music would be everywhere this day and it was. The reception did not disappoint with dancing, karaoke as well as some vinyl getting spun in the lobby.

As a wedding photographer who has only photographed straight couples, I've pondered how to market my services to the gay community. I have no images of civil unions or gay and lesbian engagement sessions. I am not gay myself.

It then occurred to me that I do not need a "same sex wedding package" as there is no difference in the love of any couple that is bonding together. I have photographed traditional weddings in the strictest of churches as well as ceremonies in offbeat locations. I have witnessed couples who have said "I do" and others who have said "yep, let's do this". Every wedding is unique.

If you are a GLBT couple looking for a photographer, I'd be proud to add you to my portfolio. Take a look at the quality of my photographs and imagine you and your partner among them. When you fill out the contact form to set up a meeting to book an engagement session or wedding, please know that I support you and believe in your right to marry.

All the best,

Steve
