Getting Ready at Pendry Chicago Suites
Rachel and Andrew began their wedding day in private suites at Pendry Chicago, high above the energy of Michigan Avenue. From my perspective as their photographer, the light pouring through the windows was unforgettable, with historic architecture stretching across downtown Chicago and a quiet sense of anticipation filling the rooms. These suites offered the perfect setting for a relaxed, intimate start to their day, allowing space for meaningful moments, elegant details, and a calm pause before the celebration began.
Couple Portraits Around the Carbide & Carbon Building
After they were ready, we explored the iconic Carbide & Carbon Building, home to both the Pendry and Venteux. Photographing Rachel and Andrew throughout this landmark was a dream, from dramatic architectural lines to softly lit corners that felt timeless and romantic. The contrast of historic design with modern city life made their couple portraits feel distinctly Chicago, capturing the essence of a Venteux Chicago wedding.
Ceremony and Reception at Venteux Chicago
As guests arrived, the celebration moved inside Venteux for an intimate wedding ceremony held in front of the restaurant’s signature drapery. Surrounded by close family and friends, Rachel and Andrew exchanged vows in a space that felt warm, elegant, and personal. After family photos, everyone gathered around one long table to enjoy a multi-course meal, one of the many reasons couples are drawn to a Pendry Hotel wedding. As dusk settled in, the floor-to-ceiling windows framed the Chicago skyline shifting from sunset to blue hour, filling the room with glowing city light. The night unfolded with laughter, raised glasses, and quiet moments of connection.
