Fifteen years of weekends inside the city's ballrooms, mansions, museums, and lofts — distilled into a directory we wish we'd had on day one.
Whether you're planning a black-tie affair at The Drake Oak Brook, an outdoor ceremony at Cheney Mansion, or an industrial-chic loft reception at Morgan Manufacturing, Red Barn Wedding Studio has photographed there. We know the light, the timing, the quiet rooms for the first look, and the spots the venue coordinator won't mention.
This index is the working list — every Chicagoland venue we've covered, from downtown rooftops to North Shore country clubs to Naperville banquet halls. Click into any venue to see the real weddings we've photographed there, the cinematography reels we've filmed, and what we'd tell a couple booking it tomorrow.
