Chicago Revel Fulton Market Wedding Photography: Rebecca & Eric

“Eric and I met four years ago at a mutual friend’s BBQ. We had gone to college together but somehow never managed to catch each others’ eye or make an impression until we met almost a decade later. I had just moved to Chicago from New York and Eric had been here for years and immediately became my tour guide to my new city. Together we created our love story as we ate, drank, and explored Chicago together; him showing me all that the city had to offer, and me shedding a new light on and creating new memories for places he had always known.

Our wedding was at its core a celebration – a really great party one might even say! It was important to us to create an atmosphere of joyous celebration and to set the tone for a great night of dancing and letting loose. Champagne is a favorite way to celebrate the important and the mundane moments so we decided everyone should have a glass of bubbles while they witnessed our ceremony in a cocktail style in-the-round setting. It kicked off the celebration before we were even pronounced husband and wife and the good times just kept rolling from there as we got caught up in the industrial rustic setting of bright summer blossoms, strung cafe lights, a black and white checker dance floor, and a wedding band to end all wedding bands. We danced the night away with each other, surrounded by family and friends that feel like family – and it was all I could have ever asked for.”
