Historic Frank Lloyd Wright Building Wedding: Lauren & Dan

Lauren and Dan were married at the historic Rookery Building in Chicago. It’s been a bit since I shot at the Rookery building and I almost forgot what a treat it is.

But the faces of Lauren’s bridesmaids seeing her in it for the first time was the real showstopper!

These two were all laughs and it made capturing real moments so much fun…
