Pink Vera Wang, Balloons + Trump Tower! Monica + Jack!

Chicago Wedding Photographer at the Trump Hotel + Tower!

I’m so excited to be sharing my second Trump International Hotel + Tower wedding of the season with you today! I loved working with Beth from SQN Events, Natalie from the Trump Hotel in the Grand Salon, and the ladies from Hello Darling!

In case you missed it…you HAVE to check out Monica + Jack’s Chicago Buckingham Fountain Engagement Photos!

Here’s one of my favorite photos from the Trump – we are on the 16th floor terrace – with the Wrigley Building in the background! I love how Chicago at night! Monica + Jack look so stunning! Vera Wang + Tuxedo – timeless + beautiful!

We hung her gorgeous Blush Vera Wang wedding dress in the Trump windows. I love how the pink dress just adds a subtle color to the photo!

After Monica was in her dress, we took a few moments to photograph her! Everything came together perfectly! Livia Caporale did a flawless job on her hair and Andie Cumber did a wonderful job with her make up! So perfect with the Vera Wang gown and the black sash!

We had her stand in the Trump window to highlight her silhouette in a photo! Looks like this belongs in a fashion magazine! The pink Vera Wang gown and the black sash AND that hair! wow!

Wedding Photos at Night on the Trump Terrace

We headed outside to the Trump Terrace for one last set of wedding photos! The Wrigley building + Chicago River look amazing at night! As a wedding photographer, I love it when my clients are willing to take photos at night in Chicago!

There was a little mist over Chicago at night…and it helped make for this cool picture!
