Braxton arrived at the Hilton Hotel in the South Loop, excited to shoot Colleen and Mark’s wedding.

Colleen left the hotel to see her husband-to-be for the first time on their wedding day!

This brick wall is one of my favorite places to shoot in the South Loop. I just love this first look moment!







Gotta appreciate Mark holding onto that gorgeous Fleur du Jour bouquet to give his bride a little dancing time! Ole!

The couple and their wedding party were ready for picture time! They went to a nearby favorite: The Art Institute gardens!



The group headed to the Harold Washington Library (the amazing venue Colleen and Mark chose), but stopped in the back of the building to grab some great industrial shots!



I love this venue, and with Elizabeth of Anticipation Events at the wheel, it was looking stunning!

The bride walked down the aisle…

toward her clearly very happy groom!







Congratulations, you two!

The guests enjoyed cocktails in the hotel lobby.

And headed back upstairs to toast the happy couple!






Colleen and Mark shared their first dance as husband and wife.

And Colleen and her dad cut a rug with an expertly choreographed dance!



And then the dance floor was rolling, thanks to Ryan at Style Matters!








So happy for you Colleen and Mark! And thank you for having Braxton along for the ride!
