This wedding took place on a beautiful day in the late spring last year. I was so excited when I learned the ceremony & reception would be taking place on a boat traveling along both the Chicago River, and Lake Michigan.

It would be a first for me. Having lived, and photographed many, many weddings in Colorado- I’ve been in many a gondola, ski lift and mountain resort towns with awe inspiring views, but never had a wedding on a boat.

The boat stayed docked during the ceremony, then went up and down the Chicago River during the cocktail hour. It was so awesome, and fun! Once we moved downstairs for dinner, the boat headed out to Lake Michigan for the rest of the evening.

The first dance was held on the top deck, with a view of The Chicago skyline as a backdrop. Magical.

It was an amazing day, and I look forward to my next wedding on a boat!

We wish them all the best.
