Some weddings are intimate, quiet, romantic affairs, and others are a true party. S&S's celebration was the latter, with so much joy, celebration, and fun throughout the entire day. Held at the iconic Drake Hotel in Chicago, the wedding was a large, formal, black-tie celebration that nevertheless allowed everyone to cut loose and have fun at the reception. I especially loved the bride's first look with her father -- what a reaction -- and the night portraits we did on Michigan Avenue, allowing the couple some time for just the two of them.
