Liz and Bill were married at Sarabande, a new Chicago loft style venue from the group that runs Ovation and Greenhouse Loft.
I started with Liz at the Ambassador Hotel downtown while Justin was with Bill at the couple’s home in Lincoln Park.
Dana & Seth met me at one of our favorite neighborhood spots – Hopleaf Bar. I’m on a bit of alcohol hiatus, but if you’re into beer Hopleaf is the spot! We chatted about their upcoming wedding for a bit and shot a few photos in the space before we headed out.
Our second location was Lincoln Park, which is good anytime of the year, but very special in the fall as the leaves start to change. We found some good color and some great light.
Bailey & Travis celebrated their wedding at Artifact Events – a modern brick and glass loft space in Chicago’s Ravenswood neighborhood.
I started the morning with Bailey at Royal Sonesta River North where she was getting ready with her side of the wedding party. Justin started with Travis at the couple’s home.
Amy and Matt were married at one of Chicago’s most elegant glass atrium downtown venues – The Exchange Building.
Amy & Matt are friends with Susan & Blake (who I first photographed almost a decade ago!) so I was very excited when they reached out about their wedding…
Dara and Seth were married at one of Chicago’s newest loft-style wedding venues – Sarabande. I started the morning with Dara and her bridesmaids downtown at Hyatt Centric Magnificent Mile and Justin started with Seth and the groomsmen at the same hotel.
Jessica and Daniel’s wedding at Tabu Restaurant in the West Loop was a great way to start winding down our 2023 wedding season.
I started with Jessica along with her sisters and mother at LondonHouse Hotel downtown while Justin started with Dan and the guys at an AirBNB in Fulton Market. It’s always nice having a small group for prep in the morning.
I met up with Liz and Bill at one of their local spots, Frank’s Bar, in Chicago’s Lincoln Park neighborhood. We chatted over beers and made a few photos there before walking to the Park. Our walking tour continued East through the park and out to the Lakeshore and Fullerton Beach.
It was a bit windy, but I loved the photo we made of the two of them running – it was good practice for Bill who was running the Chicago Marathon this year!
Allison and Bret were married in a Star Wars themed wedding at Adler Planetarium on Chicago’s Museum Campus.
Allison and Bret’s wedding weekend was the busiest hotel weekend in Chicago history thanks to a large medical conference and a trio of Taylor Swift concerts.
Deirdre and Phil were married at St. Joseph Catholic Church in Chicago’s Lincoln Park neighborhood with a reception at Cafe Brauer.
I started with Deirdre and the rest of the bridesmaids at Claridge House hotel. The ladies had a lot of fun listening to Taylor Swift while getting ready and it was a really great morning all around. Justin started with Phil and the guys at the same hotel as well…
Tess and Charles were married at The Drake Hotel in Chicago’s Gold Coast neighborhood. The Drake is a classic and historic Chicago Hotel on Michigan Avenue and one the city’s best venues…
