Valentines Day Wedding : Chicago Wedding Photographer Steve Koo

Share

Jasmine and Rob couldn’t wait for Valentines Day weekend. This year, they weren’t just going out to dinner or having a date night… they were getting married! I spent the morning with Jasmine and her bridesmaids as they got ready at the Renaissance Hotel O’Hare in Chicago. Crizen Hasegawa did Jasmine’s hair and makeup, making her look amazing for her wedding day. Jasmine had fantastic details, including fantastic Badgley Mischka shoes and a gorgeous bouquet filled with anemones. All of the flowers were done by the lovely and talented Grace Kim at Vale of Enna. After the ceremony at Park Ridge Presbyterian, it was back to the Renaissance Hotel for the reception… and what a reception it was! Jasmine and Rob’s family and friends loved to dance, and Rex Balcita at Mix Media did a fantastic job keeping everyone, old and young, dancing all night.
For obvious reasons, there’s fewer weddings in Chicago during the winter months. But Jasmine and Rob’s special day was proof that you could indeed have a fantastic winter wedding in Chicago!

A fully floral mandap surrounded by pastel blooms became the centerpiece of this couple's outdoor ceremony before a dramatic floral entrance, floating candles, and a white and gold dance floor
When steady rain moved their ceremony beneath a tent, rain-soaked portraits, vintage-hued florals, oversized lamps, and a checkered dance floor made Plan B feel anything but second best.
