Chris & Emily’s Chicago Wedding at Bridgeport Art Center

Last September, I had the honor of photographing Chris and Emily’s wedding at one of my favorite Chicago venues, the Bridgeport Art Center! The day started out with these two getting ready separately at Pendry Chicago, inside the iconic Carbide and Carbon Building. We made our way to Bridgeport in time for photos with their gorgeous floral ceremony decor before guests started to arrive.

Bridgeport Art Center Wedding

Emily and Chris tied the knot in the Sculpture Garden that evening surrounded by loved ones. A dear friend officiated the ceremony, which was filled with laughs and happy tears! One of my favorite moments was their sweet pup Zuko walking down the aisle 🙂

Once it was official, these two were ALL smiles and ready to celebrate! Guests enjoyed cocktails and a delicious dinner, dancing the night away with the newlyweds. I’m lucky I got to steal them off the dance floor for a few epic night photos outside!

Emily and Chris: Thank you again for having me last year!! It was an honor to capture your wedding day, wishing you two a lifetime of happiness together.
