Allium Chicago Wedding for Cristina and Michael
Cristina and Michaels wedding last summer was incredibly elegant with special touches that made it very unique to their love story. They chose to have their ceremony at their neighborhood church, and then we captured photos at their beautiful turn of the century house before taking a limo to one of their favorite spots to walk on the waterfront in Downtown Chicago. Their reception was the very first at the brand new venue in Fulton Market, Allium Chicago. The space was beautiful and fit the elegant, modern, vision that they had. The candle lit atmosphere in the heart of the city was such a perfect aesthetic for a beautiful wedding night! Guests were so delighted by the Michelin starred dining experience and the incredible view from The Alliums wraparound balcony (that only got prettier as the sun set!). Eeep, I absolutely loved capturing this day, thank you to all the wonderful vendors who made it possible!

I’m so happy you’re here!
Hello!
I’m Reyna, the heart and soul behind Sea Circus Weddings. With over 12 years of experience as a wedding photographer, I’m based in Minneapolis but have had the joy of capturing love stories across the country. My journey also led me to capture beautiful moments in Bali, ranch weddings in Carmel-by-the-Sea California, engagement shoots in New York Sea and on the shores of New Buffalo Michigan! I am always ready for an adventure to capture a beautiful love story.
My passion for photography blossomed from witnessing the profound love my grandparents share. At 86 and 84, their enduring bond is beautifully preserved in their wedding photos, which have become cherished heirlooms in our family. The timeless color tones and raw, natural emotions in their images inspire me to create heirloom, film-inspired photography for the couples I work with. I love capturing celebration, people on their happiest days, the intricacies of deep love, and beautiful flowers!
I live in a charming Tudor house in Minneapolis with my husband, our two little girls, and our cuddly cat, Goose—named after Gooseberry Falls, where we tied the knot in 2019! In my free time, you’ll often find us enjoying dance parties, embarking on camping adventures, or cuddling up with a good book (currently, I'm captivated by The Secret History by Donna Tart!).
