Langham Chicago Wedding // Photographer’s Teaser Pictures!

Samer + Reem were just married earlier today at the Langham Chicago! I have been the wedding photographer for many amateur photographers and a handful of wedding photographers…but Samer is the first commercial photographer I have ever had in front of my camera! I appreciate the trust and freedom he had for me to lead and guide them on their wedding day! I can’t wait to share more photos, but for now, here are a few quick teaser photos!

I love the intricate detail of the Langham Ballroom. Photographer’s Tip: Looking at strong graphical elements framing the top and bottom balanced by the flowing Oscar de la Renta wedding gown!
