Walking into The Casino Club in Chicago was absolutely mind-blowing. The members only venue is filled with gorgeous rooms that feel like you're walking into a 1920's speakeasy for the very first time. We started the day with details and getting ready portraits at The Casino Club before heading over to St. James Chapel for their ceremony. After their ceremony; Julia, Michael and their bridal party went to the iconic Chicago Board of Trade to capture their bridal party photos as well as some stunning couple portraits. The Chicago Board of Trade is a client favorite for wedding day portraits! The couple then ditched their bridal party and went to The Drake Hotel for some insanely stunning portraits on their roof. I will never get over the perfect lighting and views with this iconic Chicago photo op location. We all walked back to The Casino Club just in time for cocktail hour + their reception. The elegant and cozy reception space gave the wedding an intimate and classic vibe. Julia + Michael's day was absolutely gorgeous and filled with the warmest friends and families. They're the absolute sweetest duo and you can truly feel that through their gallery. They'll always come on top when it comes to pulling off the perfect speakeasy dream of a wedding!
