Real Weddings: Robin + William

Robin and William married in a classic Chicago wedding. Everything about the wedding, from the bride to the location, is elegant without being fussy, classic without being stuffy. The reception venue is so unique. The photography takes advantage of all locations, starting with Union Station and ending at Salvage One. It’s a little more dramatic than what we’ve been seeing in weddings for the past few years. You won’t find any dreamy sunflare shots or outdoor frolics in fields. What you will get is a Moulin Rouge twist to wedding photography.
