Another one of my favorites from the day was taken on LaSalle Street. As a photographer, I love all the layers to this photo…the kiss under the veil, in front of the Langham Pink Taxi, and on LaSalle Street with the bridges in the background! BTW: I’m not the only one that loves this photo – The Langham Chicago put this on their Instagram account as well!
Nothing is more romantic than a photo at night under the Langham Marquee- Her Pronovias gown is perfection!
Getting Ready at the Langham Chicago
One of the prettiest places to hang a dress in all of Chicago. With the Chicago river in the background!
Her Badgley Mischka shoes!
Decided to combine her earrings with her clutch!
Love how their initials made it into their branding for their invitations, stamps, and Sugarfina guest favors! And wouldn’t you know, the chocolate was made in Greece – perfect for their Greek wedding!
Not a staged photo- this WAS the moment after the bottle was uncorked!
Custom fashion illustrated makeup bags for the bridesmaids!
The hair and dress were a stunning combination!
One of my favorite moments from their day! Priceless reaction with the flower girl!
The guys were elsewhere in the Langham having a good time-

Wedding Photos at The Langham Chicago
As a photographer, one of the reasons I enjoy working at the Langham is due to the variety of photos that you can take in and around the venue! It is located in one of the best locations and the interior is so photogenic!
Photographer’s Tip: Step back and include a sense of place in the photo!
We stepped outside for a brief photo on the River with the Wrigley Building in the background!
We love the Langham Pink Taxi! If you are ever a guest at the Langham, you can take a ride in it!

Wedding Ceremony at Annunciation Greek Orthodox Cathedral of Chicago
One of my favorite parts of a Greek Orthodox wedding, when the mothers throw petals at the bride and groom!
One the way back to the Langham, we stopped on LaSalle St to take a few photos!
