Hope and Brandon’s wedding at The Skyline Loft at Bridgeport Art Center was a perfect reflection of who they are—elegant, joyful, and deeply heartfelt. I’m so thankful they trusted us to capture every moment of their day.
This celebration had all the elements I love most: warm, golden light; emotional vows; and personal touches that made the day feel uniquely theirs. One of my favorite moments was seeing their sweet dog walk down the aisle with the flower girl and ring bearer along with their parents. It doesn’t get sweeter than that! Their wedding party brought great energy, too. Easygoing, fun, and totally on board with everything, which made each photo session feel effortless.
One especially fun touch? The custom elevator bar—yes, you read that right. The Skyline Loft features a sleek freight elevator that they turned into a modern cocktail bar. It is complete with a bartender mixing drinks on the ride up. It was a huge hit and such a creative use of the space.
The Skyline Loft is truly one of Chicago’s most unique wedding venues. With massive industrial windows, exposed beams, and rich brick walls, it creates the perfect backdrop for stunning photos all day long. The views of the city skyline don’t hurt either.
What I love most about photographing weddings at the Skyline Loft is its versatility. Hope and Brandon hosted both their ceremony and reception in the same open space, and it transitioned seamlessly throughout the day. Each part of the celebration had its own feel, yet everything flowed together effortlessly.
Every moment of this Skyline Loft wedding was full of heart and character, set in one of Chicago’s most iconic venues. An absolute pleasure to photograph.
Hope and Brandon, it was such an honor to photograph your beautiful day. You two are the sweetest, and I’m wishing you endless love and joy ahead!
