Wedding Teaser Photos from Susan + Joey’s Wedding!

Photographer’s Best Photos From Yesterday’s Drake Chicago Wedding

They went to prom together! They were together through college, and less than 24hrs ago, they were married! The Drake Hotel was the perfect place to get ready and for their wedding reception! I can’t wait to show more pictures from their wedding day, so for now, I just picked three of the best to share today! ***If you missed them, be sure to check out Susan + Joe’s Chicago Engagement Photos!***

State Street and the Chicago marquee sign are iconic and make for one of the best wedding backgrounds! Kudos to the bride and groom for braving the cold weather for this photo! Photographer’s feed of the energy of their subjects, and Susan + Joe (and their bridal party) were totally willing to do whatever for a photo!

This was one of those unplanned wedding moments! As a wedding photographer, I’m always looking for those little details that makes all the difference – and in this case, I loved the church lamp casting the perfect amount of light on the bride and groom! The wind blowing her veil helps make this photo one of the day’s best!
