Lily + Han’s LondonHouse Chicago Wedding Teaser Pictures!

LondonHouse Wedding Teaser Pictures

Lily + Hans are probably just getting back to their Presidential Suite after dancing the night away at their LondonHouse Chicago Hotel wedding reception! I wanted to make sure they had a few wedding teaser photos to share at their brunch tomorrow morning!

There is so much more to say about their wedding, so be sure come back in a couple weeks to see more photos from their special day! Shout out to the bridal party for enduring the photo session on this warm and humid Chicago spring day!

Breanna from Shannon Gail Wedding & Events did a great job coordinating and planning, Steve from the LondonHouse made sure everything went along smoothly, and Vale of Enna did a wonderful job with the florals and decor!

We ended their wedding day with a photo along the Chicago Riverwalk…just across the street from the LondonHouse! Photographer’s Tip: Include iconic architecture without being cliche! Those who live in Chicago know that the clock tower in the background is the Wrigley Building!

The LondonHouse has a rooftop area for brides and grooms to take photos with the Chicago skyline in the background!

One of my favorite aspects of the LondonHouse is their interior decor. They marry vintage and modern luxury in the most perfect way! Look at the detail in the ceiling and that chandelier! I also love the palm leaves peeking in on the sides!

One last photo of the LondonHouse ballroom. It has a view of the Chicago River as you can see the Marina Towers through the windows!

Chicago LondonHouse wedding reception picture Congrats again Lily + Hans! It’s been 8 years in the making…but it was worth it! Thanks for wanting to take photos as much as I enjoy taking them! Can’t wait to share more!

with love,

your Chicago wedding photographer,

Kenny Nakai
