Sophia and Nick met at work in 2018 and became fast friends, frequently going on afternoon coffee breaks to catch up on life outside the office. Their first unofficial date was to see a Of Monsters and Men concert in Chicago, which they soon followed up with an official date at a ramen place in Lakeview. They bonded over their musical tastes, love of travel and shared values. Fast forward five years and Nick proposed on a beautiful sunny morning on Siesta Key Beach and they began planning for their wedding!

Sophia and Nick wanted an intimate celebration with their closest friends and family and chose to celebrate at Morgan’s on Fulton (one of our favorite city venues!) We were so excited to have Marcella along to manage day-of coordination and help make sure everything was just perfect at Morgan’s on Fulton! While Marcella worked her magic we met up with Sophia and Nick at Union Station and The Wrigley Building for the sweetest first look and portraits. Sophia looked absolutely perfect in her Renhue gown and metallic Prada heels, this will easily go down as one of our FAVORITE bridal looks EVER! And Nick looked amazing in his timeless black tux from Jack Victor, it was so fun and easy to photograph this beautiful couple amongst Chicago’s most iconic architectural settings.

After finishing with pictures we made our way to Morgan’s for their ceremony. It was so special to witness the moment when Sophia and Nick became husband and wife, and afterwards everyone was ready to kick back and celebrate! Their guests enjoyed a hearty cocktail hour lit by golden early Summer light on Morgan’s gorgeous terrace, it was the most beautiful night. We are so grateful to have been present at this unforgettable wedding!
