Romantic Wedding at the Bottom Lounge in Chicago | Torri and Kaleb

Torri and Kaleb’s wedding day in Chicago was an absolute dream come true! These two are so kind, genuine, and simply SO much fun to be around, every moment from their wedding day was such a pleasure to document. From portraits at the iconic Union Station, to the incredible Bottom Lounge acting as the perfect ceremony and reception space, their day featured some of the best locations Chicago has to offer, and it all came together beautifully for their chic and romantic wedding in the Windy City!

An Unforgettable Wedding Ceremony at the Bottom Lounge

Torri and Kaleb’s day was one carefully created with so much love and intention. The two started the day getting ready with the love, support, and excitement from their loved ones. Torri and her gals got ready together in the comfort of their hotel room, meanwhile Kaleb and his guys shared a drink at the Lone Wolf Tavern to start their day! It was SO much fun getting to witness these two amazing people enjoying themselves alongside their favorite people.

After getting ready photos and a few portraits, our next stop was the Bottom Lounge in Chicago for their wedding ceremony! If you’re unfamiliar with the Bottom Lounge, it’s one of the West Loop’s most storied and popular event spaces. The historic space has the perfect mix of modern touches and classic feel that create a gorgeous setting for a simple, chic wedding like Torri and Kaleb’s. It was SUCH an amazing space for these two to celebrate their wedding ceremony with all of their loved ones present. Their pupper even got to make an appearance thanks to the wonderful Luxe Dog Nanny. Safe to say it was an unforgettable start to the day, and there was still so much more of it left to enjoy!

Newlywed Portraits at the Stunning Union Station

Following the ceremony, Torri, Kaleb, and I all hopped in an Uber while their wedding guests enjoyed a wonderful cocktail hour at the Bottom Lounge. Selfishly, this was probably my favorite part of the day! Torri and Kaleb are the kind of people that you instantly click with and feel like you’ve known for years. I loved hanging out with these two, chatting about life, and of course taking their portraits both inside and outside the stunning Union Station! It was such a big highlight to the day for me, but before long we did make our way back to rejoin their friends and family for a night of epic celebration.
