Getting Ready Wedding Images at the Fairmont Chicago
For those that don’t know…in a Jewish wedding ceremony, the bride has to wear a simple gold ring. No stones or other diamonds.
Priceless expressions…look at the flower girl in the back, she has the best expression!
All the bridesmaids wearing their matching floral robes!
Heidi in her Inbal Dror wedding gown from Dimitras Bridal Couture – simply stunning! As a photographer, I always want a few minutes to photograph the bride by herself!
This could be an advertisement for Inbal Dror, Dimitras Bridal or the Fairmont- Ah-Maz-Ing!
The groom all ready to go in his tuxedo!
Photographer’s Tip: The Chicago Fairmont has plenty of window light that helps create beautiful photos!
Photographer’s Tip: Sometimes it’s about the symmetry…sometimes it’s about a repeating pattern…but sometimes it’s about a little wink or smirk that makes the best photo!
The staircase at the Fairmont – enough said!
Millennium Park Wedding Day Photos
Though their wedding was in November, we were able to catch the last of the Fall colors!
Millennium Park has such a variety of vegetation, that something is bound to be yellow or red during the fall season!
Photographer’s Tip: Sometimes the best backgrounds are found in the least expectant places. The Chicago lights match the energy in Heidi + Jonathan’s expression!

The beginning of the most epic Hora dance I’ve ever photographed!
Congrats again Heidi + Jonathan! You walked me through all the Jewish wedding traditions beforehand, and it was a pleasure to photograph and experience it in real life! Hope you were able to relive it all through your pictures!
with love,
your Chicago wedding photographer,
Kenny
