Ali and James celebrated their Medinah wedding day surrounded by family, friends, and overflowing emotion. I worked with Ali and James last fall (see their Millennium Park engagement photos here), and really enjoyed getting to learn more about them. Ali and Jimi (as friends and family call him), chose Medinah because it was the same venue where Ali’s parents were married. I loved that little touch, and the day was full of sentiments just like that. From the moment I arrived, I felt like I was among friends and had such a great time working with Ali and Jimi’s friends and family. I’m excited to share a few of my favorites from the day:
Ali and Jimi each got ready in separate rooms at Medinah.
Ali and Jimi had their first look at the rotunda inside the venue.
Afterwards, we went outside for a few portraits. It had been a rainy morning, but we lucked out with a mid-day break in the rain for some outdoor photos!
The ballroom looked beautiful thanks to the talent of Yanni Design Studios:
Dance party time! Megan Taylor kept the dance floor packed the entire night.
Congratulations again Ali and James! I’m so grateful to have been a part of your Medinah wedding day. I had an amazing time working with you, your friends, and your families, and I wish you all the best!
