Wish Upon a Wedding is an non-profit organization that provides couples, regardless of sexual orientation, a wedding when they are faced with a terminal illness. Erwin and Ed were selected by the organization and many many amazing vendors stepped up to provide services free of charge to make their wedding day amazing.

Bellwether Events pulled this wedding together along with Three Lights Photography to shoot it. We can’t wait to feature their engagement session by Mary Kate McKenna Photography a little later!

Paloma’s Nest seems to always be doing amazing things. So happy to see her amazing work in this wedding.
