An Odyssey Lake Michigan wedding days always feel amazing, and the wedding of Nancy and Christopher reminded us why we love photographing love stories on the water. The venue is a popular Chicago cruise experience known for its skyline views, open-air decks and elegant spaces that float along Lake Michigan. We enjoy how calm and refreshing it feels out on the water, and how the light shifts throughout the day. It creates a beautiful setting for wedding photography, especially when couples want something unique and peaceful. As Chicago wedding photographers, we appreciate how this location gives us room to be creative and capture natural moments.
Nancy and Christopher’s story is so sweet. They met at Circuit City back in 2003 and started dating in 2004. Two decades together says so much about their connection. They love movies and often quote their favorites to each other. They also share a passion for staying active. Running, sports and long days outside are part of their routine. And their King Charles Cavalier Spaniel, Newt, is at the center of everything. Their outdoor ceremony fit their personalities well. It matched their easy style and their love for simple, meaningful moments. Touches of their shared interests shaped the mood of the day without taking over. We always enjoy learning these little pieces of a couple’s story because it helps us understand the tone they want captured.
