You may remember Kristy and Brian from their engagement session in Wicker Park. I had so much fun working with them the first time around that I was really looking forward to their wedding at Salvage One in Chicago! I absolutely adore the space at Salvage One – there’s so much cool scenery that it’s hard to take a bad picture! I started out my day with Kristy and the girls as she got ready in her suite at the Hotel Sax. It was raining and rather gloomy outside, but Kristy was all smiles! We had our first look in the lobby of the Hotel, which was gorgeous (and luckily for us, mostly empty!). After taking a couple fun photos around the lobby, we headed straight to Salvage One. Even though we couldn’t go outside, there were more then enough fun places to take bridal party pictures inside the awesome space! The ceremony was held downstairs, and we moved upstairs for the reception afterwards. LOLA Event Productions had done a beautiful job with the decor and the flowers, and DJ Chris Somera did a great job keeping the dance floor packed all night! Congratulations again, Kristy and Brian! Thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to document your wedding day!

Loved the lobby at the Hotel Sax.
Off to Salvage One!
Frankly, I liked the scarf, glove, and wedding dress look!
Loved this – Kristy and Brian almost went in for their first kiss before the ceremony was over! :)

Nice Job, Steve. They look like a very expressive bunch–moved by the wedding! Great coverage.
