Downtown Chicago wedding photography

Congratulations to Margaret & Ken who were married Saturday at the Ritz-Carlton Chicago on Saturday. We spent the day with them and made some nice downtown Chicago wedding photography images.

We will have more photos on-line later, but wanted to share a quick image of them across from the Ritz-Carlton (Four Seasons Hotel) in the Seneca Playlot Park. It’s a little pocket park that has a beautiful paving brick walkway lined with trees that makes for a nice photo spot. Also took some photos along nearby Michigan Avenue, and of Water Tower Place.

We’ve been to this park before, during an engagement session for Jamie & Dave (later married at the Hotel Orrington in Evanston, Illinois, in a beautiful Jewish wedding ceremony and lavish reception in the grand ballroom.)

Recommendation for Springfield limousine

Amy & Adam had all good things to say about their party bus from All Occasions Inc., limousine service from Riverton, Illinois.

One of the things we see a lot when we are photographing wedding parties in their limo is there’s issues getting music to play. No one brought a CD with a party mix, and there’s no cord to attach your phone or iPod to play your songs. It’s surprising how many limos fail this test — and wedding parties have to mess with radio, skip commercials, listen to static vs having a party.

We were really impressed with All Occasions because they had a one-step music connection — so easy to connect phone into the sound system. Owner Paul Carver says he does that with all his vehicles, and always makes sure the bathroom is in service. 217.622.0504 – Facebook –  web. Springfield-area limousine service company.

When you book your limo check to make sure you can connect your phone to the sound system. And put one of the groomsmen in charge of music, and getting in the limo a few minutes before you leave for the reception and learn the sound system. It’ll make sure you have a great party and get the most out of your investment.
