Black-tie RPM Wedding | Lindsey and Jeremy

Lindsey and Jeremy’s black-tie wedding at RPM was DROP.DEAD.GORGEOUS. The perfect combination of luxurious sophistication and a lively, fun-filled atmosphere made this an unforgettable night. From their feature on The Newlywed Post’s front page (haha!) to Jeremy rocking out on guitar with the live band during the reception, every detail fell seamlessly into place. It was the perfect celebration for the happy couple, and I was honored to capture it all.

Being their photographer was an incredible experience! I had the privilege of documenting their cool engagement shoot and the magic of their wedding day.

The day began at The Westin, where Lindsey’s suite buzzed with excitement. Laughter, music, and champagne toasts filled the air as her closest friends and family gathered to help her prepare for the big day. The energy was infectious, as everyone swapped stories, shared smiles, and soaked in the anticipation of one of the most important days of Lindsey’s life.

Lindsey and Jeremy’s first look was one of the most touching moments of the day. They chose a picturesque spot along the riverfront, with the iconic Chicago skyline as their backdrop. It’s one of the reasons why an RPM wedding is so special—those stunning city views. We made sure that their friends and family stayed inside, giving Lindsey and Jeremy the privacy to take in the moment together. The anticipation and joy on their faces were truly priceless as they saw each other for the first time, all dressed up and ready to say, “I do.”

Wedding Ceremony at RPM Events

Their Jewish ceremony, held at RPM, was a beautiful blend of timeless traditions and modern elegance. From the Chuppah adorned with delicate flowers to the reading of the Ketubah, every moment was filled with meaning and emotion. The intimate setting at RPM allowed the couple to share this sacred moment surrounded by their closest loved ones.

And, of course, the breaking of the glass was met with a roar of excitement as Jeremy proudly stomped on it, signaling the start of their new life together.

Black-Tie Wedding Reception at RPM

RPM’s sleek, modern decor perfectly matched the couple’s black-tie style, but the evening was anything but formal. The moment that stood out most was when Jeremy grabbed his guitar and joined the live band. Lindsey had changed into a chic short dress and a tee that playfully said, “Here for the Bassist.”

As Jeremy launched into “All the Small Things” by Blink-182, the crowd erupted. It was a rock star moment that no one will soon forget. Lindsey’s smile never left her face the entire night, and the joy and energy in the room were palpable. Guests sang along, danced, and celebrated into the night.

Lindsey and Jeremy, thank you for trusting us to capture the magic of your love story. May your journey together be filled with endless love, joy, and countless breathtaking moments. Here’s to a lifetime of happiness!
