Chicago Wedding Photographer for a Family I’ll Never Say No To

By |December 1st, 2025|wedding|

Maddie and Pat’s Chicago wedding took us through five iconic locations, from a traditional Catholic ceremony to a full-scale reception at Morgan Manufacturing.

We walked everywhere, skipped an original plan that involved a lot of buses, and made the most of the city without overcomplicating anything. Maddie’s dress may have picked up half of Chicago along the way, but the portraits were worth it. Come on in and see for yourself.
