Salvage One Wedding : Shannon and Pat

When I last saw Shannon and Pat, it was at their Lincoln Park engagement session. It’s often hard to find a date where three busy schedules can work together, so we braved rain and wind to get our session done, and I had so much fun working with them in spite of the gloomy weather. On the wedding day, there wasn’t a rain cloud in sight, and I was excited for their Salvage One wedding under sunny skies! Let’s bring on some wedding photos:

I started off my day at the Sutton Place Hotel in downtown Chicago with Shannon and the girls.

I loved how Sonia Roselli’s girls did Shannon’s hair.

The girls and I jumped onto our trolley and headed to Milton Olive Park for the first look with Pat.

After the first look, we did a few wedding party photos:

And then it was off to Salvage One! We had a little bit of time before the ceremony, so we took advantage of it and did a few more photos around the venue.

Thanks to the clear skies, we were able to do the ceremony outdoors in Salvage One’s lovely garden space.

After dinner and the first dance, it was time for the dance party! Max from Style Matters did a fantastic job making sure that the dance floor stayed packed all night.
