When asked to describe her Cafe Brauer wedding, Jess said she wanted it to be natural and intimate meets modern elegance, with a Prairie-style ethos. That level of intentionality clearly went into all aspects of her Chicago wedding day. We started off with a quiet morning, along with a non-look first look that was beautiful in its intimacy. After a gorgeous ceremony at St. Clement, we spent some time taking portraits around the Lincoln Park boardwalk area, including hopping on the Endangered Species Carousel at the zoo for a few snaps. Once back at Cafe Brauer for the cocktail hour and reception, Jess and Chris let loose with their guests and the rest of the night was a blur of laughter and enjoyment.
