I met Meg, Kevin and their families at City Hall on one of the most gorgeous Saturdays of the year!

We joined the fairly long line of people to get married and waited our turn. Saturdays are always very busy down at City Hall as they are only open 9am-noon and more couples bring guests with them on Saturdays so it gets pretty busy! Thankfully the wait went by pretty fast and before we knew it they were married!

After their I do’s we headed outside to enjoy the sun and take some group photos before I headed a couple blocks up with the newlyweds to get some shots along the riverwalk and LaSalle Bridge. Seriously it was so gorgeous out we could have stayed here all day! But a quick stop to the Chicago Theater was on the agenda and then we tried to get over to the West Loop. Key word being tried. For some reason we couldn’t get a cab (love that shot of Meg tried to flag one in her wedding dress in a construction zone!). And we got dropped by Uber and then they couldn’t find us. After about 30 minutes we finally got a ride!

They were have a dinner/party later that evening with some friends at Green Street Meats so we swung by there for a couple photos and snuck back to the patio of RM Champagne (RIP) before they headed across the street to devour some fried chicken!

Here are some of my favorites from their day!
