A Wedding to Remember!



It was a momentous day on September 18th as Justin and Allegra were stylishly married in downtown Chicago.  From their engagement to the wedding day, the affair was one for the books!  It all began while backstage after a Nine Inch Nails concert.  There, amongst the band, Justin knelt down on one knee and proposed to Allegra.  What a magical moment!

The day of the wedding was just as memorable as the story of their engagement.  The Bride's preparation took place at the grand Westin River North.  There she was adorned with the beautiful works of The Left Bank, a Parisian jewelry boutique in the heart of Chicago.  The jewelry pieces were the perfect finishing touch for the already exquisite Bride! (brides-to-be The Left Bank is a shopping must for accessories and bridal shoes of all sorts, check them out!)

Following Justin and Allegra's preparations, the ceremony and reception were held at Fulton's on the River.  The venue was ideal for the occasion.  We had some time following the ceremony for photos on the bridge.  This couple's fun and playful attitude was a delight and lent to capturing unique shots during the perfect lighting of "the golden hour".  The golden hour is the time of day during the last hour of sunlight, the sun is setting but there is still light in the sky.  The lights of the buildings all turn on and it perfectly achieves a beautiful effect due to this quality of light.  The joyous mood continued into the reception.  There, live music was provided by the talented TVK Orchestra.  It was a beautiful celebration for the newlyweds!

Congratulations to the happy couple!
