Under a glowing June sun, Jermaine + Steve gathered with their closest people for a backyard wedding that felt joyful, heartfelt, and perfectly them.


Before the ceremony began, we met up with Jermaine + Steve for portraits at Northern State Recreation Area. The afternoon light danced through the trees, adding a soft shimmer to the lush surroundings. Dressed in coordinating suits—Steve in a sharp blue and Jermaine in a rich green—they looked incredible standing side by side, their matching bow ties and lavender socks tying everything together with a sweet, personal touch. As they walked the trails and shared quiet moments together, their chemistry and love were unmistakable—Jermaine’s relaxed nature grounding the moment, while Steve’s thoughtful energy brought intention and care to every detail.


Back at the private residence, the backyard was filled with heartfelt energy. The ceremony was deeply moving—intimate and overflowing with love. Jermaine + Steve shared personal vows that brought both laughter and tears to those gathered. Their words were full of vulnerability, gratitude, and deep devotion, making the moment feel sacred and beautifully raw.


Throughout the evening, we witnessed the kind of connection that’s built on balance, love, and wholehearted support. This wasn’t just a wedding—it was a powerful celebration of queer love and family. As a queer-owned photography team, it’s always a privilege to capture these stories. Visibility matters. Love matters. And seeing Jermaine + Steve so supported and celebrated was everything.


This day was a reminder that love doesn’t need grand stages—it thrives in backyards, in sunlight, in whispered vows and joyful tears. Jermaine + Steve created a space filled with authenticity and connection, and we’re so thankful we got to document it.
