Photographing an Artifact Events Chicago Wedding

Moriah and Zach's wedding at Artifact Events in Chicago was a beautiful celebration filled with love, laughter, and adventure. I was honored to be a part of this wedding in particular, since I’ve photographed other weddings in the bride’s family in years past. From the very beginning of the day, it was clear that Moriah was going to be a fun bride to photograph, and she did not disappoint! Her infectious laughter and positive energy were contagious, and it made for some incredible photos with her bridesmaids.

The day began with the couple getting ready at the Renaissance Chicago Downtown Hotel, and there was a particularly touching moment when Moriah and her father first saw each other. Emotions were running high, and there were plenty of tears shed. After that, Moriah crossed the street for the first look with Zach along the iconic Chicago Riverwalk. I was able to capture some truly beautiful moments between the couple, as well as some touching shots of Zach getting emotional at the first sight of Moriah.

The wedding party then made their way to the historic downtown Chicago bridges for some group photos. Moriah and Zach's adventurous spirit really shone through during this part of the day, as they even climbed on top of the State Street bridge for a dramatic photo with the city as their backdrop. After the photos were taken, everyone made their way to the ceremony at Artifact Events, one of my favorite venues to photograph.

The ceremony was perfect, with Moriah and Zach's vows being both funny and sweet. The cocktail hour was held in the outdoor courtyard, with an east coast style reception to follow. And what a dance party it was! I was able to capture some truly amazing photos of the hora dance, with one shot in particular standing out as my favorite of a couple to date.

Overall, Moriah and Zach's wedding was a beautiful celebration of their love for each other, and I was honored to have been chosen to capture their special day. I can’t thank the couple and their families enough for allowing me to be a part of their joyous occasion, and I was thrilled with the photos that he was able to capture. It was a day that everyone involved will remember for a long time to come.

Thanks to these Chicago Wedding Vendors!
