Welcome to the gorgeous wedding of Vanessa and Ryan. Although we battled rain on and off all day, it was perfect!

I met the girls at Midtown Hotel where they were getting ready in the most amazing penthouse suite. I mean it’s two levels with full skyline view and a wrap around deck. What?! I could have stayed there all day!

But of course, we had a schedule to stick too. So it was off to the church in our amazing vintage ride! They got married at the gorgeous St. Viator Church and afterwards we headed out on the party bus for some photos. I think Mysi and I were checking the radar on our phones every 30 seconds as it keep changing. We got pretty lucky with some sprinkles at Wrigley and then it rained heavier as we made our way to Kinzie Bridge and miraculously stopped when we arrived! Thank you Mother Nature!

Their reception was at Hive on Hubbard which is a very cool loft venue with a skyline view and rooftop option for some photos! I have to give them major DIY props as they did all the centerpieces terrariums, seating charts and number, floral chandeliers and initials on the cake table. And it all looked amazing!

Toasts were made and the dance floor was rocking! We snuck up to the rooftop for a couple of night shots to end the evening. Check it out below!
