Adam + Cassidy :: Art Institute Wedding
- Posted on:
- 03 November 2011
Cassidy and Adam were married this summer at the Modern Wing at the Art Institute, probably the venue that I shoot at the most often and one of my favourites in the city. Their day had a few little snafus—preparations took a little longer than planned, it rained literally all day long, our original portrait plan had to be adjusted on the fly. While these sorts of unexpected things can make for a stressful day, on some level, I find that a few hiccups can help to really exhibit what is important at the wedding. I find that after the stress of those types of things melts away, the emotion of the couple and the joy of the celebration shines through even more and really helps to confirm what the wedding is all about. Cassidy and Adam were certainly this way—their beautiful ceremony in Griffin Court featured a moving tribute to Adam’s father, along with emotional and tearful vows. This was followed by a gorgeous reception in Terzo Piano, where they held one of the most fun and spirited receptions I’ve done this year—full of many truly hilarious toasts and some serious shenanigans on the dance floor.
Venue: The Modern Wing/Terzo Piano at the Art Institute of Chicago | Coordinator: Catherine Gatto at Birch Design Studio | Band: Larry King Orchestra | Floral: Christine Noelle

The first is breathtaking. I nearly couldn’t scroll down to look at the other ones. This one just ties me up. She’s so pretty and the light-bokeh in the background is awesome. Just perfect. I’d paper my room with it if I’d be the bride :D
The light in all photos is terrific. Did you work with flashes, especially on the party? I guess yes… but did you set them up on location or just had some portable ones?

these are breathtaking! no hint of plans gone wrong and your night portraits are amazing
I love the groomsmen with their phones taking pictures. I also love all of the emotions and expressions captured of the couple and their family & friends.
Your work is just amazing!!!
