Veronica and Jesse love the city of Chicago, and they wanted to make sure that the city played a role in their Drake Hotel wedding day. It only made sense that Veronica and Jesse chose the Drake Hotel as their reception venue, a classic hotel steeped in history located in downtown Chicago. The ceremony was at the lovely St. Alphonsus, and we took portraits around the city at some of their favorite, iconic locations. There was so much joy during this wedding day, accompanied by laughter, smiles, and happy tears throughout. Here’s a few of my favorites from their wedding day:

Congratulations again Veronica and Jesse! Thank you so much for letting me be a part of your Drake Hotel wedding day. I had a blast documenting your story and wish you all the best.
