Liz & Christian’s Lincoln Park Wedding at Cafe Brauer
Last June, I had the honor of capturing Liz and Christian’s Lincoln Park wedding at Cafe Brauer! These two traveled from Michigan to celebrate in our city, and many of their guests traveled from even farther. Though they were planning a second ceremony in Christian’s home country Brazil, many friends and family from South America were able to join us in Chicago. With the addition of guests from Europe and the United States, there was no shortage of love and support for these two!
Wedding day began at Hotel Lincoln with Christian and Liz getting ready separately with their families. After their first look at North Avenue Beach, these two were all smiles! We headed to Lincoln Park for photos at the Nature Boardwalk, and then met up with family and friends. Their joyful ceremony under the Lincoln Park Honeycomb was full of laughs and happy tears 🙂
Cafe Brauer Wedding Reception
Once the knot was tied, it was time to celebrate! An iconic Chicago wedding venue, Cafe Brauer looked stunning as always as the day turned into night. I loved the variety of DIY details included in their reception, including Liz’s 3D-printed escort card holders in honor of their cats! Guests enjoyed delicious dinner, custom Caipirinhas, Brazilian Brigadeiro, and dancing into the night. I’m so happy we got to steal the newlyweds away for a few night photos during the reception!
Liz and Christian: Thank you again for having us in June!! Your Chicago wedding day was truly one to remember, wishing you the very best in your future together.
