The Peninsula & Somerset

♥︎

Chicago, IL

The Peninsula Chicago served as the backdrop for this gorgeous wedding, adorned with white orchids & pink roses. Jessica's intricately beaded, couture Eisen Stein gown was a stunner! After a sweet first look on the terrace, we snuck off to shoot couple portraits at Somerset (restaurant where they had their first date!). A forest green 1946 Packard Clipper awaited our return to The Peninsula. Their dimly lit ceremony ~ intimate and reverent ~ was followed by a rooftop cocktail hour with flamenco guitarists. Dinner was served under crystal chandeliers with elegant suspended floral installations by Kehoe Designs. Music for the evening featured Lyric Opera tenor John Concepción, cellist William Cernota, and Carte Blanche Band from New York City. They capped the evening with an epic hora and lovely artisan chocolates on every table. LK Events does not miss.
