Alyssa + Tim's Kimpton Gray Chicago wedding was one of our most favorite weddings of the year. These two are so in love with one another and their families. It was clear this day was going to be a highlight of our wedding season. Tim and Alyssa are a laid back couple who loves to enjoy the company of their family and friends. Their wedding day felt like a big dinner party that they invited all of their favorite people to.

 

Alyssa got dressed in the Kimpton Gray's beautiful suite that allowed tons of natural light to pour in! Because family is so important, she did a first look with her mom, sister and dad that left us in tears. We even caught a little kiss snuck between her parents. It was clear that Alyssa's parents were just overjoyed that their little girl was getting married.

The Kimpton Gray has so many beautiful spaces and we made use of them all! For the first look, Alyssa and Tim chose the bar on the second floor. It was the perfect setting to capture all of the excitement and smiles!

Now we told you that Alyssa & Tim wanted their wedding day to feel laid back, right? After the first look, we had a little down time before heading out for portraits! All the ladies joined the guys for some beers and to catch the football game. It's moments like these on a wedding day, whether planned or spontaneous, that really allow you to take a step back and enjoy a day that just goes by so fast.

After a beautiful ceremony, we headed to the Boleo Ballroom to finish out this Kimpton Gray Chicago Wedding. It was a night that was full of celebration and a whole lot of dancing! We couldn't be more excited for these two! Congrats!
