The Peninsula Hotel Chicago Wedding
What a Peninsula Hotel Chicago wedding! Beth from SQN Events helped plan and coordinate Lauren + Kevin’s dream luxury wedding! Beth really connects with her clients and her deep understanding of their vision and style allows SQN Events to be such an amazing part of any couple’s day! I’m truly thankful to have been their wedding photographer on their very special occasion!
Let us know if you were getting married at The Peninsula Hotel and need a photographer!
Before we get into their Peninsula Chicago Hotel wedding photos, check out these two photos of the floral design + decor by Kehoe Designs!

The Peninsula Hotel Chicago Wedding: Getting Ready
A photo of Lauren’s Vera Wang wedding gown – Katherine
Her Jimmy Choo shoes had a reflective heel and I thought to use that as a focal point for her wedding ring picture!
Another photo of the Jimmy Choos!
Gorgeous letterpress invitations + stationary by Magnificent Milestones. Ridiculous lazer cut envelope & wonderful card stock!
She had to take photo with another important person in her life before putting on her wedding dress! Riley was having so much fun at the Peninsula!

In my time with Kevin…there are two people who can easily bring a smile to his face…Lauren is one…and Kendall =)
Wedding Ceremony Venue: Assumption Church
We headed to Assumption Church in River North for their wedding ceremony! I love the cute little head wreaths made by Kehoe Designs! =)
Assumption church has some breathtaking artwork on the ceiling – not to mention a breathtaking bride and her father walking down the aisle!
One of my favorite photojournalistic photo of the day- As a wedding photographer…I had the best seat in the house for this touching moment!

Lauren was all smiles during their vows!
Kendall + Riley were so happy to give their congratulations to the newlyweds!
Wedding Photos by the Adler Planetarium Lakefront – Lake Michigan
We headed down to the Adler Planetarium for some photos with Lake Michigan and the Chicago skyline in the background! For those that have never been…this spot on Chicago’s lakefront is one of the best views of the city skyline! This is one of those “I love my job as a wedding photographer!” moments =)
Full bridal party with the Chicago skyline!
The sun came out just enough for Lake Michigan to show some color…in the perfect hue to compliment their bouquets! And of course the skyline looks amazing from the lakefront!
Epic photo of the bride and groom with the Chicago skyline!
Lauren requested this photo – and I had to incorporate the skyline in the background!
I love the movement & expression in this wedding photo!
Daley Center Chicago Wedding Photography
Kevin had requested to take some wedding pictures at the Daley center…and I was happy to oblige! As a wedding photographer, I love make dreams come true!
It’s one of those photos that local Chicagoans know is Chicago…without being too cliche!
The groom making sure traffic stopped for his bride!
Michigan Avenue for Wedding Photos
The Peninsula Chicago is right on Michigan Avenue…so we walked over to take a few photos on the Magnificent Mile!
But enough with looking cool – it was time to frolic! (they really wanted to do this photo!)
