Normally it would be almost impossible to shoot ten groomsmen in the middle of the street in Chicago. If you are looking for the perfect spot for pictures with the groomsmen turn to LaSalle Street. As you get closer to Jackson and the Chicago Board of Trade, you hardly have to worry about cars.

A lot of brides come to me almost apologetic for having a winter wedding date. As we all know, Chicago winters can be unpredictable at best. It could be 40 or -40 in the same weekend. Chicago hotels have plenty of normally unseen spots for wedding photography. All of these pictures were taken in the Chicago Embassy Suites. I find by mixing up the angles it’s easy to have all of your indoor wedding photography locations look completely different. These shots required me laying on the ground flat on my back, hanging over a 5th floor balcony, and riding up and down on an escalator. So, winter brides, there is no reason to worry about your wedding photography. Let your photographer find the great spots!
