It takes a LOT to get me motivated and inspired to add extra hours into what is always a long process to get photos ready and delivered to my clients. But there were a couple of things about Josh and David&#8217;s wedding day that was unique. It&#8217;s always a great day (in the world according to Marci) if I can see something new, try something new and learn something new.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2505\" style=\"width: 691px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/marcicurtis.com\/blog\/jam-handy-wedding-in-detroit\/same-sex-wedding-photographer-detroit-001\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2505\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2505\" class=\"size-large wp-image-2505\" src=\"https:\/\/marcicurtis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/same-sex-wedding-photographer-detroit-001-681x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Jam Handy Wedding location with siblings.\" width=\"681\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/marcicurtis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/same-sex-wedding-photographer-detroit-001-681x1024.jpg 681w, https:\/\/marcicurtis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/same-sex-wedding-photographer-detroit-001-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/marcicurtis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/same-sex-wedding-photographer-detroit-001-768x1154.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 681px) 100vw, 681px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-2505\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The groom and his siblings snuggle during their photos at the Jam Handy wedding venue in Detroit, Michigan.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2506\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/marcicurtis.com\/blog\/jam-handy-wedding-in-detroit\/same-sex-wedding-photographer-detroit-002\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2506\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2506\" class=\"size-large wp-image-2506\" src=\"https:\/\/marcicurtis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/same-sex-wedding-photographer-detroit-002-1024x681.jpg\" alt=\"Same sex wedding couple on stairs at Detroit Michigan's Jam Handy wedding venue.\" width=\"1024\" height=\"681\" srcset=\"https:\/\/marcicurtis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/same-sex-wedding-photographer-detroit-002-1024x681.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/marcicurtis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/same-sex-wedding-photographer-detroit-002-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/marcicurtis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/same-sex-wedding-photographer-detroit-002-768x511.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-2506\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Gay wedding couple on the staircase at Detroit&#8217;s Jam Handy wedding venue.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2507\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/marcicurtis.com\/blog\/jam-handy-wedding-in-detroit\/same-sex-wedding-photographer-detroit-003\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2507\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2507\" class=\"size-large wp-image-2507\" src=\"https:\/\/marcicurtis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/same-sex-wedding-photographer-detroit-003-1024x681.jpg\" alt=\"Wedding party during ridiculous wind during a wedding in downtown Detroit at the &quot;bleeding rainbow&quot;

You wouldn&#8217;t think twice about it and would probably drive by it without even realizing it&#8217;s there. But that&#8217;s the place that brought my father in law to Michigan to start his career back when they used to produce and create industrial movies. The owner\/manager of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thejamhandy.com\/\">Jam Handy<\/a>, Simeon, was available throughout the day for questions and helped to coordinate all of our comings and goings. Very helpful chap to have around, indeed. The space is industrial and has four spaces (well, five if you count where they set up the kitchen). It took me a while to figure out what was on the walls at the Jam Handy&#8217;s windowless room where they held the reception. They are dark gray with what appears to be dark chicken wire holding stuff to the wall. Ah&#8230; it must have served as soundproofing back in the day when they were using it as a &#8220;sound stage&#8221;. I loved the main room and the planner, Andy Keina from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/topthattable\/\">&#8220;Top That Table&#8221;<\/a> really made the joint stand out and soften the industrialness (not a word) for this amazing wedding.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2510\" style=\"width: 691px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a

style=\"text-align: center;\">So enough about the Jam Handy building as the &#8220;newest&#8221; cool location for Detroiters to hold cool weddings and on to what was perhaps the most amazing wedding ceremony I&#8217;ve ever seen. Josh and David offered up a lot of firsts for me as a wedding photographer. Their parents joined in for the family photos and DIDN&#8217;T stand by their children! They mixed and matched and didn&#8217;t want &#8220;our photos&#8221; and &#8220;their photos&#8221;. Never seen that wonderful family dynamic before. Also, when I went to see what they were doing before the ceremony, all the siblings and Josh and David were playing games from youth group camp. You know, the kind that involve standing in a group, laughing, concentrating on a task and then eliminating each of them one by one. I&#8217;ve never seen that as a way to keep each other occupied before heading into a ceremony!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2515\" style=\"width: 691px\" class=\"wp-caption

Ah&#8230; the ceremony. They did many things in their own unique way. One of the main differences was that they had one friend officiate \/ mc the order of things. But they ran the show. Each of the grooms had three friends and\/or family members come up and speak about them, their relationship to them and their relationship as a couple. It was lovely. It was heartfelt. They weren&#8217;t your typical speeches (aka toasts), but rather a way for everyone to learn something about them and to get a sense of them as a couple. And then there were the vows. Unique, funny, insightful, joyous, intellectual and sob inducing all at once. Quite an act to follow, gentleman! I&#8217;ve had many of my couples ask about where to find officiants for same sex couples and honestly, whether you&#8217;re gay or not, if you don&#8217;t want to have a religious officiant, this is an amazing way to accomplish having an intimate, heartfelt ceremony done on the couple&#8217;s terms and imbued with their personality.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2520\" style=\"width:
