What happens during Covid when City Hall will not allow everyone into the building and no venues will have weddings. You have a small photoshoot of course. I am not going to lie. This is a long overdue post. This was photographed last year right as the pandemic started. It was a beautiful day where the blooms in Grant park have just started to blossom, but since then this couple has hired me to photograph their little bambino that they welcome before Christmas. Like I said this is long over due. I will make sure to link the photoshoot once I have blogged about that one.

There are a lot of spots in Chicago that have beautiful flowering tree blossoms. You just have to time everything correctly. These are called Crab Apple trees. They are on what is called the Logan Garden in Grant Park. There is a beautiful staircase as well as a fountain. Very Parisian feels and I’m so glad the Judges picked this spot to have their photos.

After we took some photos of just the two of them. We worked our way to city hall. There was a line outside since no one was allowed to go in. City hall is a beautiful building and I’m very bummed we weren’t allowed to take some photos inside.

After they got married we made our way to the famous city hall sign with their families. We took a couple of photos and we had to make our way to the board of trade building that has been used in such famous movies like batman. Its the perfect spot to get the middle of the street photo. Very popular with weddings and on weekends there is no one around. So you can take a shot right in the middle of the street.
