Galleria Marchetti wedding | Chicago | Erin & Chris

I traveled out to Chicago for Erin and Chris’ Galleria Marchetti wedding in June for their wonderfully quaint morning ceremony and brunch reception. Galleria Marchetti is a hidden gem in the River West neighborhood and you would have no idea that it’s so close to the highway because of the all of the trees that hide the property from the surrounding area.

As a Colorado wedding photojournalist I’m spoiled with all of the outdoor ceremony locations that I get to work throughout the busy wedding season so it was a treat to photograph Erin and Chris’ ceremony outside under the arbor. The sunlight poured in through the tops of the trees and it created a great feel for their first kiss as husband and wife.

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. The above image was one of my favorites from the day because it really captured the essence of the venue.

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.

  • Ravisloe Country Club Wedding | Katie & Joel

    As a photojournalist, it’s incredibly rewarding when another journalist asks you to document their special day. Katie is a damn good reporter from outside of Chicago and Joel is an eye surgeon who loves Alabama football. I knew that we would get along when they were interested in sharing some amazing beers out of my cellar the first time we met. I travel all the time for weddings, especially in Chicagoland, so I was excited that I was able to capture their Ravisloe Country Club wedding. Since they live in Colorado I was able to shoot their spring engagement session in downtown Denver. In all of my years doing weddings, Katie is one of the top two most organized brides that I’ve ever worked with….
