For the 3rd year in a row, we have
been invited to photograph the Blissful Wishes Ball. The ball is a
fundraiser for Wish Upon a Wedding, which is a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit
organization that provides weddings and vow
renewals to couples facing terminal illness and serious life altering
circumstances, regardless of sexual orientation. The organization was
created to celebrate the courage, determination and
spirit of these couples by granting their dream wedding Wishes. Their
hope
is that chosen recipients can inspire other couples facing similar
situations to find hope and strength.
Gerber+Scarpelli
was one of the original participants to be "wish-granters"- we provided
the photography for a lovely couple, Beth and Nick. You can see their
blog post here.
This
year, our own Nick Gerber was nominated for the Shining Star Award,
which recognizes wedding industry professionals that are philanthropic
in the Chicago Wedding industry. Previously, Kurt Gerber has won the
award.
