Big City Bride Photos at Chicago Cultural Center + Langham Hotel
Amir has been following my work for seven or eight years. His friends and sister had me as their wedding photographer and he experienced my work first hand as a groomsmen! Needless to say, I was honored to be asked to his wedding photographer after he asked Jenna for her hand in marriage!
There is more to come…this is just quick wedding teaser post from YESTERDAY’s festivities! Shout out to Chrissy from Big City Bride for helping make the day go smoothly!

The Chicago Cultural Center has an amazing Tiffany Dome. One of the most amazing places to get married in Chicago! Yanni Design Studio knocked it out of the park with their decor! Photographer’s Tip: Have the right gear for the right moment. This picture required usage of an ultra wide lens to get the full dome into the photo! It is expensive and large…but when you need it…it is amazing!
We had to have a photo with their ‘son’! =) Love their expressions in the background with the Langham Chicago ‘pebbles’ all around them! Thanks to Big City Bride + The Langham for making sure all the logistics were in place for Bailey to make an appearance!
Photographer’s Tip: Incorporate architecture into their wedding photos! The Chicago Cultural Center has the most amazing staircase lobby!
Before leaving for their ceremony, we had to take a photo with the Langham Pink Taxi! So classic and modern!
