Natalie and Jeff’s Chicago wedding was such a joy to capture. Natalie started the day getting ready in her childhood home, surrounded by familiar spaces and cherished memories, which made every moment feel intimate and deeply personal. We then moved to bridal portraits at the Art Institute of Chicago, where the stunning architecture and timeless elegance added a magical, editorial feel to every shot. From there, we wandered through Grant Park, letting the natural light, greenery, and city skyline guide the moments —-the portraits felt romantic, effortless, and completely authentic.

Their reception at Osteria Via Stato was intimate and glowing with candlelight, creating a warm, romantic atmosphere that perfectly complemented the elegant details and joyful energy of the evening. Every laugh, glance, and dance was beautifully highlighted by the soft, flickering light, making the night feel both luxurious and deeply personal.

From childhood memories to iconic Chicago landmarks and a cozy, candle-lit celebration, Natalie and Jeff’s day struck the perfect balance of style, emotion, and timeless luxury — the kind of wedding that feels unforgettable while staying completely true to them.
