Our chosen family.  That was a big theme at Adrian and Michael’s wedding, as it is a big theme in their lives.

We have the family we’re born with and then the family we choose. Adrian and Michael’s wedding had an underlying current of such strong support and love. It was an energy that quietly hummed along, throughout the entire guest list, adding depth to each and every moment. At the center of it all, these two men seemed to close the loop by becoming each other’s chosen family.

Adrian and Michael, I am so deeply happy for the two of you. You are so acutely aware that now is the only guarantee, and it is beautiful and inspiring to see you living your lives with kindness, respect, and a healthy dose of playfulness. I was honored to capture your wedding day in photos, and I hope you’ll enjoy this sneak peek!
