Saddle & Cycle Club Wedding Pictures // Caroline + Spencer

Saddle and Cycle Club + Ambassador Hotel Chicago Wedding Pictures

Just a couple weeks ago Caroline + Spencer were married at the Saddle & Cycle Club of Chicago! Most Chicagoians have never heard of this club located at Foster Ave and the lake front. It is an urban retreat for members and those having their wedding there! There is plenty of green space for an outdoor ceremony as well as a large patio and ballroom for the reception and cocktail hour!

Shout outs to Ashley from Saddle & Cycle and JD from A Perfect Pair Chicago for coordinating flawless day!

Be sure to scroll through all 60 images in this blog post to see photos from the rooftop of the Ambassador Hotel, North Pond of Lincoln Park and at Saddle and Cycle Club!

The view from the rooftop of the Ambassador Hotel is gorgeous – As a photographer, it’s all the little things that make this photo: the fog over the skyline, the perfect gust of wind and their authentic reactions to each other and the blowing veil!

We took a few photos out on the lawn before heading into their wedding reception! Though the portrait session only lasted a few minutes, they were some of the best from the day!

Sometimes its about those in between ‘fun’ moments that make the best photos!

As a wedding photographer, I’m always looking to incorporate a building’s architecture in a portrait – like the leading lines of the Ambassador Hotel – and a little gust of wind to blow Caroline’s veil!
