Welcome back, blog stalkers! I’m still trying to catch up on posting weddings in what has been a very busy season. Today, I’ll be sharing a few favorites from Tom and Jason’s downtown Chicago wedding. Skies were overcast and threatening to start pouring rain at any moment, but it didn’t dampen the spirits of Tom, Jason, or any of their guests. Anyways, let’s get to the photos!
After a brief hiccup in which Tom, myself, and others got stuck in a service elevator (a tale that I’ll spare repeating), I started off my day in Tom and Jason’s suite as they got ready.
From the hotel, it was a short walk to Pazzo’s for the ceremony and reception. Even though it had started sprinkling, we decided to brave it and stopped for a couple portraits along the way.
One more quick portrait inside the venue, before it was filled up with guests.
Luckily, the heavy rain held off until we reached our destination, and after everyone dried off, it was time for the ceremony!
I loved the ceremony decor:
Before this wedding, my assistant and I were talking about how we hadn’t seen anyone smash cake in each other’s faces all year. Well, this wedding took care of that for me!
Time for the dance party!
Congratulations again Tom and Jason! Thank you so much for letting me be a part of your wedding day. I had a fantastic time working with you, your families, and your friends, and I wish you both nothing but the best!
