Galleria Marchetti Wedding, Chicago, IL | Allie & Alex

Allie and Alex's wedding day started with quiet getting-ready moments full of nervous excitement, then moved into one of Chicago's most beautiful churches — Our Lady of the Holy Family (Notre Dame de Chicago) for a ceremony surrounded by soaring stained glass and over a century of history. From there, the celebration carried over to Galleria Marchetti, where string lights, crystal chandeliers, and that unmistakable industrial-meets-elegant charm set the scene for a night of toasts, dancing, and pure joy.

We love shooting in Chicago because every corner of this city brings something different to the table skyline views, historic architecture, hidden alleyways and Allie and Alex's day gave us all three. From their vintage trolley exit at the church to golden hour portraits along the lakefront with the skyline behind them, this wedding had every element we love capturing as a Chicago wedding photography and videography team.
