This past Saturday, I shot a wedding for a beautiful couple, Clare and Tom. The day started out at Sonia Roselli Esthetique, (http://www.soniaroselliweddings.com) an amazing Parisian-style salon here in Chicago, that has been featured in Allure Magazine, Brides Chicago and Time Out Chicago, to name a few. After leaving Sonia Roselli's, we were off to take photos of the bridal party in Millennium Park. This was a very cool wedding party, as each brides maid wore a different black dress of their choice. Also, they each carried a different bouquet containing one flower from the brides bouquet, which gave the entire party an old-Hollywood feel. Clare chose a birdcage wedding veil, in place of a more traditional style veil, which looked so beautiful, and was so much fun to photograph! Is was very hot and sunny on Saturday making it difficult to find good lighting; It is always best to have a little cloud coverage to soften the sun light. Luckily, I was able to find a few shady areas to take the portraits. The bridal party really appreciated this as well since standing in the sun was brutal, and after having makeup done at Sonia Roselli, we didn't want sweat!
What a gorgeous ceremony Clare and Tom had at The Chicago Temple, 1st United Methodist Church (http://www.chicagotemple.org). It was beautiful. After the service, we quickly stopped at the Chicago River for a few more photos, then off to the cocktail hour and reception party! The reception was held at a great location, the Townhouse Restaurant (http://www.redstartavern.net/restaurant/?restID=7) on South Wacker Drive. The Townhouse is only open during the week, and it has never hosted a wedding reception before, making this a truly unique experience. It was an honor to photograph Clare and Tom's Wedding! Enjoy the photos, I sure do!!
