Bottom Lounge wedding | Chicago | Katie & Chris


Earlier this summer I traveled out to Chicago for Katie and Chris’ Bottom Lounge wedding. I started the day with Chris and his groomsmen at the couple’s home before we spent the rest of the day at Bottom Lounge in the west loop for the ceremony and reception.

It’s a concert hall and bar most of the time so I wanted to highlight the feel that you get after spending a night partying and listening to great music. The aluminum tabletops created the perfect reflection to take the frame up a notch.

Make sure you check out more of their day at Wasabi Photography.

  • Morton Arboretum Wedding | Marjorie & Brian

    Last week I traveled to Chicago for the first of several times this year to help my close friend and fellow photojournalist Travis document Marjorie and Brian’s Morton Arboretum wedding. Getting to work with someone you know really well is a huge advantage because we often know what the other is thinking and as a team we can capitalize on making the best photos possible. It’s really no different than any other assignment that I work on in a team environment. When I’m the second photojournalist I don’t have the luxury of having met the client and having a relationship with them so I have to work even harder to develop a rapport with them and their family rather quickly. Being one of the bros…
