When we have the opportunity to travel to plan a wedding in downtown Chicago, we map out all the best coffee spots and pack our bags. Sam and Kevin’s intimate wedding at Osteria Via Stato in the heart of downtown Chicago gave us that big city feel in a small family setting.

We love hopping across Lake Michigan to our neighboring couples in the Windy City with this Chicago Rooftop Wedding.

The architecture in Chicago cannot be topped. Kelsey and Jordan’s wedding took elements from both inside the buildings and outside in the city to create an amazing day that told a story. The soft draping inside The Builder’s BLDG was the perfect compliment to the structured pillars and balconies. Kelsey’s grand entrance was breathtaking as she took the marble stairs that were perfectly centered to the aisle.

What happens when your couple from Chicago has to re-work their Michigan wedding? You bring the Michigan wedding to Chicago. I loved that each of Rachel and Jacob’s details paid an homage to their personalities, from Rachel’s dip-dyed dress to their matching hand painted converse sneakers.
