Like Melissa and Zak, Meghan and Scott gave me the treat of shooting them in a classic Chicago landmark. In 2008, I saw so much of this beautiful city simply because of my job as a Chicago wedding photographer. This time, the Chicago History Museum set the scene.
With the white gown and black tux, brides and grooms always photograph beautifully in black and white photos. For Meghan and Scott, this was even more true when they were photographed with the columns and other architectural detail of the History Museum. We additionally used the Michigan Avenue bridge and the Wrigley Building to show off the couple in black and white.
But the colors defined this wedding, too! The reception hall and bridal party were dressed in rich orange and pewter gray—an incredibly modern and sleek design that I loved. It was a mature, sophisticated, and most importantly, a unique look for the classy couple. It was easy to capture their personality in a setting that reflected them and their great taste. Lori at Lola Events designed the features, and Food for Thought fed the guests.
While classic locations like the Chicago History Museum make black and white photographs richer, Meghan and Scott made the color pictures even more gorgeous with their own great choices. A unique and well-crafted wedding design featuring a bold color like orange looks great in pictures and is fun to photograph as well.
