Erica and Eric’s Chicago River Roast Wedding was such a blast! It was a hot, sunny, July day in Chicago… exactly what you hope for when planning a summer wedding. Family and friends traveled from near and far to celebrate with these two, and what a celebration it was!

After their happy first look on the Riverwalk, Erica and Eric were ready to get the party started. We had a lot of fun visiting iconic Chicago locations with their wedding party – they even had custom drink coozies for everyone!! Their River Roast ceremony in the Monarch Room was classic, elegant, and SO full of joy. As a result, some of my favorite ceremony moments ever are from this day.

In addition to the gorgeous weather, guests enjoyed the view along the Chicago River into the evening. Family and friends danced the night away with cocktails in hand. Eric and Erica wanted a classic Chicago wedding, and I’d say it came together perfectly! I was even lucky enough to capture their first piggy-back ride as husband and wife 🙂

Erica and Eric: Thank you again for having me in July!! This was such a fun day to capture, wishing you both all the happiness in the world.
