Kaila & Rich (Union League Club of Chicago & Board of Trade couple portraits) - Chicago and Denver Colorado luxury editorial wedding photographer

The Union League Club of Chicago is truly one of the most beautiful venues in Chicago. It houses more than 700 pieces of the most spectacular fine art, and it’s always breathtaking every time I enter it!

Kaila & Rich have such a special story. They both grew up in Illinois but never seemed to cross paths. Years later in Los Angeles, they both swiped right on each other! The first time I met them I knew they could not be more in sync. Kaila is truly the LOVELIEST and most charismatic lady, and Rich is cool and collected- They are the perfect match. They both have the best energy, and they both flew in to Chicago for their special day.

Both Kaila and Rich definitely made photography a huge priority, and we got to capture hundreds and hundreds of amazing couple portraits! Scroll to see these two celebrate meeting the love of their lives <3!

Representing Chicago with the Chicago Flag on his wedding day!!

Now time for the first look! So special that Kaila & Rich let us pick the location for their special moment. The wine room in this Chicago castle is so spectacular, we had to do it there!

Portraits in the fireplace room were very important to Kaila so we absolutely made sure to make that happen ;)!

Now ready to explore the city streets and snap some portraits at the Chicago board of trade/ Financial district!

Kaila’s maid of honor, Ashley, of course came along to help carry the dress and we had to snap pictures of her and the bride in the middle of the street too!

Now back to Union League Club to get ready for these two’s ceremony!

A little cocktail hour fun :)!

Speeches for the bride and groom <3!

Cake cutting and a very fun first dance!
