Harold Washington Library Wedding : Jenny and Jeff

When we last saw Jenny and Jeff, it was at their Roscoe Village Engagement Session. I had a blast working with them the first time around, so I couldn’t wait to work with them again on their wedding day! I started my day with Jenny and the girls in their suite at the Wyndham Blake Hotel. The fantastic Morgan Blaul made sure that Jenny looked absolutely perfect, and when everyone was ready, we headed downstairs for the first look. It was chilly outside, but everybody braved the elements to go outside for a few fun wedding party photos. We headed across the street (literally) to the Harold Washington Library for the wedding. Afterwards, it was time for the reception! The dance floor was packed all night, thanks to the hard work of the talented David Rothstein Band, and I had a blast documenting all of the fun!

Enough chatter – time for some photos!

The Wyndham Blake hotel was just across the street from the Harold Washington Library, so some of us were able to just walk over.
