Kelly + Justin – I don’t think I have enough words within my vocabulary to properly describe how genuine and sweet these two are, let alone how magical their wedding day was. We photographed just about every iconic Chicago location on their wedding day, and it was truly a dream come true.
The day began at The Gwen, where Kelly and Justin got ready for their wedding day and got so excited as they anticipated seeing each other in their wedding attire. Their details were top notch and if I’m being honest, any photographer’s detail heaven! Shortly after getting dressed and ready, they shared the sweetest first look on the rooftop of The Gwen.
For portraits, we seriously went to all of the best Chicago wedding photo locations (at least a lot of my personal favorites!) and I have so many favorite photos from each. After portrait time, we traveled to their ceremony and reception space – Cafe Brauer – for more beautiful portraits and of course, the most stunning ceremony and reception.
Cafe Brauer is always beautiful, and this day was no exception. We love these two, their families, and this day!!
