Hi, I'm Kenny Nakai.

 

As a Chicago wedding photographer, I’m lucky enough to document some of the city's most beautiful love stories.

 

I hope you find inspiration here and connect with the feelings I had when I created each photo.

Xinying + Simon’s Wedding Teaser Photos

Chicago Wedding Teaser Photos at The Bean, Millennium Park + Intercontinental Magnificent Mile

Xinying + Simon met and live in Asia – but they returned to Simon’s childhood hometown, Chicago!  Their wedding was at the historic Chicago Intercontinental Magnificent Mile and we made sure to head out to The Bean in Millennium Park for a few pictures! The Bean makes for a great background when there are not a ton of tourists around!

This post is only a teaser post, more wedding photos coming soon! Great job planning and coordinating by Jan Ehrenberg of Parties, Events & More! Florals and decor by Blooming City Flowers!

It was snowing in April?! Though it was a blizzard an hour earlier, the sun came out for their wedding photos!

The Hall of Lions at the Chicago Intercontinental Magnificent Mile all set up for the reception! Fantastic job by Blooming City Flowers on the decor!

I love how Xinying changed into a gorgeous red gown for the reception! Nothing is more photogenic than a dip at the end of your first dance!
