University Club of Chicago Wedding Photos
Haley and Michael’s University Club of Chicago wedding was the perfect blend of elegance, celebration, and undeniable joy. From the historic architecture and rich wood details of the venue to the refined, glowing ambiance of the reception, every moment of their day felt deeply meaningful and beautifully intentional. Their wedding was a reminder of what matters most: laughter, connection, and the kind of love that makes an entire room feel warmer.
One of my favorite parts of the day was documenting the way Haley and Michael looked at each other, completely present, completely at ease. Their love radiated throughout the day, from the emotional first look to the champagne-filled toasts that transitioned into a night of full-throttle dancing. Their people showed up ready to celebrate them, and it was impossible not to feel the joy in every corner of the University Club.
I incorporated both digital and 35mm film photography throughout their day to tell the story with texture, emotion, and a nostalgic softness that feels timeless. This University Club of Chicago Wedding Photos are filled with candlelit reception and golden glow pouring through the windows during portraits made film especially magical, the grain, the color, the way it holds emotion. It all came together to honor the beauty of the moment exactly as it was.
It was an honor to capture a day that was equal parts refined, romantic, and fun. Haley and Michael, thank you for inviting me into your story. I’ll never stop smiling at the memory of your wedding.
