Wedding Photos at Chicago Cultural Center!

Wedding Photos at Chicago Cultural Center and on a Rooftop

These two will be celebrating their wedding in Greece at a later time this year…but they wanted to have wedding pictures in they city where they fell in love!

You have to love the view on the rooftop of their condo! Almost feels like a fashion magazine advertisement with award winning architecture in the skyline behind them!

We took photos at the Chicago Cultural Center…one of Chicago’s ‘hidden gems’! If you have never been inside, be sure to check out their staircases! As a Chicago wedding photographer, I’ve taken plenty of photos at the Cultural Center, but we got lucky with this pocket of sunlight shining down!
