Wedding in the Marshall Fields Building, Chicago







These epic shots were taken at the couples reception location, currently Macy's,  located at 111 N. State St. Chicago, IL; The historic Marshall Field & Co  building. 

 This was the first department store on State Street built in 1868.  The original building was destroyed in the Chicago Fire of 1871.  A building similar to the original 6 story sheathed in white marble, was built as a replacement.  Not until 1902 was the 12 story, steel frame building erected.  By 1914 it reached its current form.  You can see the amazing Tiffany ceiling in the last photograph.  
Currently there are protesters in Chicago trying to get Marshall Fields to once again occupy this building.
