Langham Chicago + Holy Name Cathedral Wedding Pictures
John + Lorena met while serving alongside one another at Chicago Catholic Charities on a Friday night. Their common interest in serving and giving would be the foundation of their relationship! They were married at the one of the most beautiful churches in Chicago…Holy Name Cathedral! Afterwards, they celebrated at The Langham Chicago Hotel!
Shout out to Allison from The Langham Chicago and Akeshi from Kesh Events for pulling together a great team of wedding vendors! Vale of Enna created these beautiful centerpieces and the Larry King Orchestra kept the dance floor full!
Here’s one of my favorites photos of the bride and groom in front of the Wrigley Building!
The Devonshire Ballroom at The Langham Chicago decorated by Vale of Enna
The lobby in the Langham has the most beautiful ‘pebbles’ hanging from their ceiling!

Getting Ready Photos at The Langham Chicago
The getting ready suite at The Langham overlooks the Chicago River.
Her blue Prada shoes!
Simply stunning in her wedding gown!
We had to take a few photos of her in the Langham lobby!
Love these fine art portraits of her! Almost out of a wedding fashion magazine!
John wore these cufflinks in memory of his younger brother – the elephants made an appearance as a wedding favor as well!

One of the most magnificent churches in Chicago!
Wrigley Building Wedding Photos
After the wedding ceremony, we headed to the Wrigley Building on Michigan Avenue to take these photos! Photographer’s Tip: Including a sense of place! The river and bridges in the background help place this wedding photo in Chicago!
Showing off her Prada shoes! =)
