Chicago Wedding: Sylvia & James’ Classy Celebration

Share

We do one wedding in Chicago almost every year.  This time it was for Sylvia & James.  It was pouring rain in the morning on the day of the wedding, but by the time we arrived at the church for the ceremony the rain left…..and the wind came.  Even with the wind and the constant threat of rain this wedding was classy from start to finish.  Here are a few photos highlighting the event.  The reception was at the Blackstone Hotel which is a super awesome hotel (where Al Capone would hang out back in the day) that has undergone a major renovation to give it new life.  Enjoy these images and see a ton more over at the ZeloPhotoBlog!
