This week on wedding inspirations, we’re talking venues. Over the past nine years, I’ve been lucky enough to shoot at some of Chicago’s best venues. These are just some of my favorites (there are some close seconds that didn’t make the cut – if you’re not seeing a venue you’re thinking about for your wedding, leave a comment below and I’d be happy to share my photos from that space to help you envision your day). All of the spaces are different, and once you look through the photos – you’ll see how choosing the right venue for YOUR wedding can set the vibe for your whole night. Scroll through, check out whatever space you can you see your wedding taking place, and reach out. All of the websites are linked below, but if you have any other questions (florists, planners, venue contact, etc.) – leave a comment and I’ll get back to you!
