Modern Wing Wedding Photos [Art Institute] :: Sudhir + Chrissy

Planning a wedding at the Art Institute? If so, congratulations! The Art Institute and its beautiful spaces like Griffin Court, Terzo Piano, the Modern Wing, and McClintock Court, combine to make for my favourite venue in the city of Chicago. Many people stumble upon this, my first AIC wedding, but please consider checking out many recent Modern Wing weddings to see how others have used the space!

============================================
Chrissy and Sudhir were married at the end of December in what was a typical winter Chicago day—gray, slushy and cold! But despite the weather, they had one of my favourite weddings of the year, an elegant but relaxed celebration at the brand new Modern Wing at the Art Institute. This space is such a stunner, and made a gorgeous showcase of Chicago for their incredibly sweet friends and family who came from around the world to celebrate their wedding. I am photographing another wedding there in September and can’t wait to see how different the space will be in the warmer months, with guests taking advantage of the gorgeous terrace and bridge (where we took a few portraits below).
Regarding the portraits below, I think we wedding photographers talk a lot about getting our clients to trust us. It is so critical to getting great portraits—having that connection and trust. But I think we—or I, at least—forget that sometimes we also have to trust our clients! Chrissy and Sudhir gave me little direction about where to do the portraits of them, telling me they trusted me, and saying they liked the industrial photos they’d seen in my portfolio before. Couples occassionally tell me to “do whatever I want,” but I think it can be really hard to trust that they really mean “whatever!” and not “whatever…by which we mean photos on Michigan Avenue.” Since it was my last wedding of the year, I decided to just go with it, to try to push it a little, and I could not be more happy with the results. These are my favourite type of pictures to take, and I hope it shows.
Thanks to all the vendors who were all just great!
