Photo Shoots in Bridgeview, IL

My services are personal and individualized. Being part of a couple's life as it is beginning on a sacred journey is so fulfilling for me. I love to connect with the inviduals I am working with on their own unique service. The quality of my services does not change whether you have 2 guests or 200 guests. In addition to being your wedding officiant, I also offer help with writing wedding vows. The vows will be unique to each couple. I do not use templates. I get to know the couple on a deeper level and help to craft the sacred words for this special and sacred day. I also take care of the wedding license for the couple. I mail it in for you and make sure it is filled out properly. I am here for you with whatever communication and questions you need. Unlimited phone calls and emails with me are included in your price.

We will guide you through the process of how to get married- from clerk's office to ceremony! Last minute ceremonies, elopements, micro-weddings, courthouse alternatives and backyard weddings are our favorite. Our most popular service is the "Vow, Rings, Married!" 3-minute ceremony, $200 at the location of your choice in Cook County. For couples who just want to get their license signed we offer legal minimum “I do and sign” ceremonies. These take about 5 minutes from start to signing and are available for $125 at my home office location. We are also happy to come to you for a $50 travel surcharge. More traditional custom ceremonies are $300 at the location of your choice in Cook County. Travel and parking surcharges may apply depending on location.

Greetings! I trust you're well. I'd be happy to check my calendar to see if I can officiate your ceremony. Please know that I consistently prioritize the needs and desires of both the Bride and Groom; doing everything I can to make your day, very memorable and special. I truly believe that the Joy and the Spirit of Love (GOD) can be so palpable at wedding ceremonies, that they leave an indelible impression on every attendee; the Bride, Groom, and the celebrants! I truly count EVERY opportunity to officiate, an absolute honor and a privilege. I love partnering with each Bride and Groom - on the day they culminate their personal Love Story! I look forward to connecting with you, soon :) As time is of the essence (with regards to our schedules), let's finalize our calendars, asap. I truly look forward to hearing from you :) Thanks and warmest regards, Rev. Clyde Porter

I’m a photographer who sees not just a photo, but the soul, energy, and unique story behind each moment. I truly want to capture this in my photos, so that when people look at them, they can relive their happiest moments again. For me, it’s not just about freezing a moment in time, but conveying the emotions behind it, so that each shot becomes a living reflection of a story worth remembering and feeling again and again.
