I occasionally get the chance to participate in a beautiful wedding photo shoot with other photographers at venues like City View Loft in Chicago, Illinois! For this particular day, we went for an industrial chic vibe, with pink and blush accents. City View Loft provided the perfect urban backdrop with their warm brick walls, and wrap around windows for a great view of downtown Chicago. We did not shoot into the night, but I can only imagine what those twinkling lights would look like when photographing a wedding reception!

Put on by The Bloom Workshop, we actually started the day learning how to make our very own bouquets! From there we had a chance to play with some styling details, and some incredible invitation suites made by Molly Jacques. I personally love her calligraphy, so it was a blast to not only meet her and take a calligraphy class, but to also style some of her work. I am honestly a sucker for a beautiful invite suite, and they are so much fun to get to take pictures of.

The day ended with some real live couples getting to play in this very cool venue. I can’t wait to go back and photograph at City View Loft in Chicago, Illinois again, brick walls and big windows will always hold a little piece of my heart.
