Dani & Dylan’s Wedding at Galleria Marchetti, Chicago

Galleria Marchetti on summer wedding day is something else. The natural light that pours through that space is just always a chef’s kiss.

We started the day with a first look just the two of them, overlooking the city, and it was one of those quiet moments that makes everything else make sense. Before the families, before the wedding party, before all of it. Just Dani and Dylan, Chicago behind them, taking a second to actually be in it. I love building those moments into a wedding day and these two were so present for all of them.

Then we took to the streets for portraits and Dylan spent a solid portion of it holding up Dani’s dress through Chicago without being asked twice. Which tells you everything you need to know about him.

The reception was beautiful and loud and full of people who were genuinely so happy to be there. They got everyone on the dancefloor with a t-shirt toss, and a cigar bar to end the night.
