Chicago Wedding Teaser Pictures at The Drake Hotel

Wanted to share these four teaser pictures from yesterday’s wedding at The Drake Hotel! Kacie + George were so great to work with and it was so hard to narrow down which pictures to post! Shout out to Emily from Five Grain Events who planned and coordinated this wonderful wedding celebration!

First picture…we had to include the awning of the iconic Chicago Drake Hotel!
