Shoots: Cakes

Kate and Ryan

We covered a lot of ground on Kate and Ryan’s wedding day in Chicago. We started at the Omni Hotel then Kate and Ryan had their first look of the day at the Peninsula Hotel. If you haven’t been to the bar in the Peninsula I suggest a visit. If you are looking for a unique spot for pictures in Chicago stop by the bar.

The Chicago tour continued with Michigan Ave and Olive Park for bridal party pictures before the ceremony at St. Josaphat Catholic Church. The reception was at one of my favorite reception venues in Chicago, the Chicago History Museum. The back are is perfect for cocktail hour and the main hall is a great space for a formal dinner.

Churches and Country Clubs

St. Michael Catholic Church will always be a special place for me as it was the church that Sue and I were married in 9 years ago. I’ve been to quite a few weddings at St. Michael but Brittany and Zach’s came with a surprise from Father Sonny. You’ll notice him playing guitar in the middle of this movie. He stopped and sang them a song while he played mid ceremony. From the look on their faces it was pretty special for the bride and groom.

Post ceremony we headed west to the St. Charles Country Club. If you have not been, it is a Country Club worth visiting. Tucked back in the trees and on a rolling hill, the club provides wonderful backdrops for wedding pictures. Lookout for pictures of the dessert trays that came out late in the evening. They really spent a lot of time making all of the details perfect for Brittany and Zach.

Enjoy the movie!
