Documenting Love as an Intimate Chicago Wedding Photographer

I truly love Love. Being in love is a very brave thing. As an intimate Chicago wedding photographer, I get to see this up close. In fact, capturing this connection is very special to me. Recently, Jake and Ashley decided it was finally time to wed. So, they gathered their closest friends for a city celebration. It was a beautiful time in the city, I hope that you enjoy these beautiful images. Being a photographer makes me so happy. Seeing my couples emotions rise to the surface. Seeing them so in love is such a treasure. I love love.

A Personalized City Hall Elopement

Their day was built around their own style. First, we started on their rooftop in Chicago. Then, we headed to City Hall for the ceremony. Afterward, we went to City Social for a drink. Consequently, the energy was high when we hopped on the trolley. Moreover, everyone was so excited to celebrate.

Furthermore, being an intimate Chicago wedding photographer means I follow the story anywhere. Next, we went to the Art Institute garden for portraits. Finally, we finished the day with dinner in West Town. Because I love unique things, this lovely wedding was a dream to document.

Planning Your Small Wedding

If you are planning a small wedding, Chicago has many great spots. For example, using a trolley is a fun way to keep your group together while seeing the city. Additionally, picking a restaurant like Funkenhausen allows for a relaxed dinner.

As an intimate wedding photographer, I find that these weddings allow for more real connection. In conclusion, whether you choose City Hall or a backyard, your day should reflect you. Therefore, focus on what matters most to your story.
