Chicago Artifact Events Wedding Photos // Kelly + Michael
After spending the day with Kelly + Michael, it’s safe to say….wherever they are…they are having fun and laughing a bunch! We were able to capture some old Chicago architecture at the Palmer House Hilton, skyline photos at North Avenue Beach, and warehouse loft photos at Artifact Events!
Shout out to Alicia from Clementine Custom Events, Meaghan from Food For Thought Chicago, and Jen from Artifact Events for a flawless day!

Love how the chandeliers and lines frame Kelly + Michael. Be sure to scroll down to see all their Artifact Events wedding photos!
Wanted to do a Vanity Fair – Fashion Magazine inspired photo for their wedding party shot! The color from their outfits and flowers add the perfect pop in front of the Artifact Events brick wall + columns!

In lieu of all that is going on in our country with regards to women’s reproductive rights…Kelly had this charm on each of the bridesmaids bouquets-
Love the portraits!
A little taste of old school Chicago architecture. The Palmer House lobby ceiling was recently restored by the same artist who restored the Sistine Chapel in the Vatican!

We stopped by North Avenue Beach for a few wedding photos with the skyline!
Chicago Artifact Events Wedding Photos
Artifact Events is located in the Ravenswood neighborhood of Chicago. It beautifully marries the industrial loft vibe with luxury chic.
In 15 years of photographing weddings, this was the first punch thrown after a first kiss! =) Love these little moments that happen on a wedding day that make each wedding unique!
When you see a Chicago Fire Dept truck, you take a photo next to it!
