Chicago Hotel Lincoln Wedding: Bruni & Fred’s Joyful Celebration

Share

Woman getting ready for wedding

On the morning of their wedding I headed to Chicago’s Hotel Lincoln to spend time with Bruni before meeting up with Fred. I certainly thought on my way over that the morning’s rain had dampened Bruni’s spirits about her big day, but quite to my surprise everyone including my stunning bride was content and cheerful. After getting Bruni into her gorgeous and simplistic J.Crew wedding dress we slipped away so she could see her groom for the first time that day. With the rain subsided and sun peeking out we were able to photograph their emotional first look and take some portraits outdoors. Thank you for whoever prayed for amazing weather that day-How perfect for a Fall Wedding! Guests were treated to hot cider while mingling outdoors for cocktail hour and then ushered back indoors for a beautiful and elegant brunch. I don’t think there was a couple in there that wasn’t on the dance floor at one point. I bet their guests can’t say they’ve had that much fun on a Sunday recently 🙂
