Looking back at this beautiful wedding day at Glessner House I can’t believe how fortunate we were to have such an amazing day and weather. As a photographer who shoots mostly in Chicago, it is rare that I get a chance to shoot an outdoor ceremony and reception.

Cindy and Dennis contacted me via Instagram and knew right from the start the type of style of photography they wanted for their big day. Dennis and Cindy put a lot of faith in my ability to capture their special day. I knew how important photography was to Dennis and he had a keen eye for light and imagery. When a couple knows what they want, it makes my job 100 times better.

From getting ready to the first look, onto the ceremony at the Chicago Woman’s Park & Garden which is literally steps from the Glessner House. Cocktail hour and Reception were all held in the exact same location. Glessner House is the perfect venue for your whole wedding day. Tucked away in the Prairie Avenue District of Chicago’s South Loop neighborhood, the historic Glessner House provides a distinctive alternative to hotels and banquet halls.

A special thanks to all the vendors who made Cindy & Dennis’s wedding day beautiful!
