Wow! What a wedding. Being a Milwaukee wedding photographer, I love every chance I get to shoot in Chicago. It's an entirely different world, and one that simply pushes my buttons in a very good way. :) I've worked in such venues as the Chicago Illuminating Company, The Herrington in Geneva, Country Clubs in Winnetka and Bolingbrook, and now I've had the pleasure of shooting wedding photography at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago Ballroom. It's hard to pick a favorite wedding, as they've all been uniquely wonderful. But I will say this, none of the Chicago weddings I've covered have EVER celebrated like this.
Allie and Nelson's reception simply shook Chicago to the ground. And personally, I blame Hooked on Sonics. They are, without a doubt, the best band I've ever enjoyed at a wedding. The light show? You'll see. A quick note to the 2010 brides, don't forget the lighting. Really. It's often an overlooked aspect to the wedding experience, and it simply adds such an exceptional layer of color and mood to the overall ambiance of a wedding. :) Back to Hooked on Soncis. They were an amazing crescendo for an incredible day of top notch service from the SAIC and the exquisite catering of Food For Thought. ...I really didn't want to leave, but I had a 6:00 am engagement shoot in Milwaukee the following morning. Yes, I'm insane. But boy, do I love what I do. :)
As with nearly all of my weddings in 2009, this wedding was filled with much love, laughs, tears, booty-shakin'....and Kilts and bag pipes? Yup! Kilts and Bag Pipes. Did I say this wedding rocked? OMG! Allie and Nelson's wedding is now a Featured Wedding - found in the galleries menu above.
I would love to tell you more about this wedding, but really, the pictures tell the whole story. Sit back, throw on some good rockin' music and enjoy!
