St. Paul of the Cross Church | Loews Chicago O’Hare Hotel wedding | Monica & Mike
This was one of the most beautiful weddings I’ve had the pleasure of photographing! This couple had their modern reception at the Loews Chicago O’Hare Hotel. The service and the staff is amazing, and with the help of an amazing team of vendors, this wedding was flawless.

From the Bride…
‘As far as my Vendor team I loved all of them. I feel like I had a dream team. I would have to say my flowers were probably my favorite they just ran with my thoughts and made it something so beautiful. Also I would have to say Vasso from Lowes Hotel was the best person to work with. She helped organize my “vision” and help it come to life. She also went so above and beyond for things that I was not even expecting her to do. The best! Overall everyone did such a great job.
Favorite wedding purchase: Our rings 🙂
Favorite memory: 1. When Mike and I were first shown our venue. I was so blown away on how beautifully it all came together. 2. getting ready with the girls in our suite 🙂 3. During cocktail hour Vasso had set up an escape room for mike and I. She took us away for 15 minutes and had a table set up with champagne and all of our hors d’oeuvres it was so nice to just have the time together for a few minutes.
Funny moments: Idk if it was so funny at the moment but the best man forgot our rings on the limo going to the ceremony luckily the driver had to pick the girls up after they were dropped off so one of the bridesmaid was able to get them to him.
If I could have changed anything it would have been not be so nervous while I was getting ready and just enjoyed that more.
Just enjoy the day it goes so fast!’
