Kinsey and Donny’s wedding in the month of June in downtown Chicago was a beautiful reminder of why we have dedicated over 15 years to wedding photography and cinematography.
Kinsey and Donny’s wedding in the month of June in downtown Chicago was a beautiful reminder of why we have dedicated over 15 years to wedding photography and cinematography.
The day began at The Godfrey Hotel Chicago, where both bride and groom got ready surrounded by their closest family and friends. The modern city atmosphere set the tone for an emotional and exciting First Look, followed by a relaxed city photoshoot across iconic Chicago locations before heading to Chicago Winery.
With our recommended photography timeline — carefully built from our experience and signature approach — we were able to move through each location without rush, creating space for real moments while ensuring every setting was fully captured.
From the hotel, to the city streets, and finally to the warm atmosphere of Chicago Winery, every stop brought a completely different mood and backdrop to their gallery. The day felt less like a rigid schedule and more like a natural adventure through the city — filled with laughter, movement, and authentic emotion.
And then came the perfect ending: vows, rings, a kiss for life, and a celebration surrounded by their closest people.
Chicago Winery is a dream venue for photography and cinematography. Its blend of industrial wine cellar charm and downtown Chicago energy makes it timeless in any season or weather, especially during Chicago’s moody days.
The textures, lighting, and atmosphere always allow for powerful imagery and cinematic storytelling.
