gorgeous black and white wedding at morgan manufacturing

This wedding day will go down in my books as one that will never be forgotten!

I was so freaking excited for Sean & Brooke's wedding day! Like most COVID couples, these two had to endure some hiccups throughout their planning process (like their original venue closing), but they stuck it out and had thee most beautiful wedding day ever!

Brooke and Sean started their day at the Renaissance Chicago Downtown which is a great spot for getting ready right in the heart of downtown! It's obvious that these two are just amazing people, because as each of them was preparing for the day, they had 13 friends by their side (EACH!). From the hotel, we headed straight to the church for a classic aisle first look! You could just feel the anticipation when you looked at Sean getting ready to see his bride!

This day was a hot one; 105 with the heat index! We headed to Olive Park (classic!) for formal photos and were greeted by about 5 other weddings! It was a busy weekend in Chicago for weddings! Nonetheless, we were able to capture those classic views of the skyline and create beautiful images for the new Mr. & Mrs!

If you follow me on IG, you might have seen the story of the stolen bouquet. THIS IS THAT WEDDING. And yes, what I just said is true. While we stopped at the financial district to grab some street shots, a woman straight up snatched the bouquet from where we had laid it down and began to walk away with it. Luckily, Sean was quick on his feet (as Brook and I stood there in shock; frozen) and grabbed it back for his bride. The woman was not happy, but man it made us laugh in bewilderment!

When it was finally time to party, they met up with their family and friends at Morgan Manufacturing and threw one epic dance party! We said goodbye on the rooftop overlooking our beautiful city!

Congratulations to the new Mr. & Mrs. Brennan!
