Thanks for letting me photograph your wedding! It has been such a blessing to be a part of this journey. I met John when I first moved to Chicago a little over three years ago now. I was attending Willow Creek Community Church when I started getting involved in urban ministry and facing homeless & social justice issues in the face. John was such a light to our morning breakfast and helped us keep our heads on straight. Hannah, one of my other very first friends in Chicago and the lovely lady I led the 5 loaves ministry with, helped arrange this whole wedding production. It was quiet lovely especially since all of it came together because of peoples' generosity, giving of time, finances, space, and service. Seeing John grow in love for God over these past few years revolutionized my faith. John taught me that the Lord is faithful even in though times, struggles, valleys, good days, bad days, cold days, poor days, and life changing days. And because John continuously has been committed to the Lord's glory today he is employed, lives in a lovely apartment on the Northside of Chicago, and just married the woman of his dreams.
When a community is so tightly bound by real love radical transformation happens. I am blessed to be a part of this story.
