March, 11 2021
We all know that most of the time university romance transforms into great and epic love stories leading to happily ever after for most couples eventually! All those cute and utterly romantic moments spent in a university like sneaking around with your darling or trying to hold each other’s hand or exchanging romantic glances while the professors are looking away are undoubtedly heck romantic. And the most interesting ones of all, stealing a kiss while sitting underneath a tree on the university campus when no one is watching is something worth remembering and cherishing! So, what do you think about taking some leap of faith and starting the next chapter of your life with the love of your life and having your ‘I do’ moment at a university or maybe at your alma mater? Incredible! Isn’t it? Well, this idea was amazingly taken into consideration by our lovely head over heels in love Chicago couple- Kaitlyn and Sean!
Our talented Chicago wedding photographers believe that a wedding day is a perfect opportunity and an amazing chance for couples to tell their unique and romantic stories and give their family and friends a sense of their romantic journey as the two love-struck couples! And when the love blossomed while you were on your graduation phase, then nothing first better than getting hitched at a university! And then what our lovely cupid struck couple Kaitlyn and Sean did. They made their Chicago wedding and reception an unforgettable celebration for all your wedding guests by hosting it at Loyola University Chicago!
Your alma mater isn’t just home to higher learning. They are also the house of the most picturesque architecture and gardens in America, making them an ideal venue to consider for the most important day of your life- your wedding day! Many universities welcome their alumni and occasionally non-affiliated couples to use their stunning property for tying the knot and have an amazing Chicago wedding photography experience! And that is what our beautiful couple, Kaitlyn and Sean did. For their Chicago wedding and wedding reception, they both chose the elegant and classy Madonna Della Strada Chapel and Crown Center for Humanities at Loyola University! It is believed that a wedding venue says a lot about the couples who are going to get hitched. And all we can assume now that there are solid chances that Kaitlyn and Sean had their romance blooming during college days, or maybe even before (just a wild guess!). Well, whatever their story was, we and our affordable Chicago wedding photographers are very much delighted to document their big and special day at this stunning wedding venue.
Nestled in the world-class city of Chicago, Illinois, Loyola University has 3 picturesque campuses in downtown Chicago right off the Magnificent Mile (Water Tower), a few steps from gleaming Lake Michigan (Lake Shore), and a historic mansion in scenic Vernon Hills (Cuneo Mansion and Gardens). Sprinkled with endless photography opportunities, the Loyola University Chicago is a paradise for all our Chicago wedding photographers! It was a treat for our team of professional and affordable wedding photographers in and around Chicago to document a wedding hosted here!

Just like Kaitlyn and Sean, their wedding day was radiating and full of natural light. It was surely a beautiful day. The day we always talk about or read in books. A perfect and beautiful day for a romantic and memorable wedding in Chicago! Our talented and creative wedding photographers started their day by capturing Kaitlyn’s getting-ready moments! Before Kaitlyn slipped into her wedding dress, our wedding photographers took a lovely picture of her getting ready while standing in front of the mirror! Our professional wedding photographers know that mirror shots aren’t just for selfies. These kinds of photos feel up close and personal without having a camera right in front of a bride’s face! It was a perfect and fresh shot showcasing Kaitly’s hairdo and her makeup in the best way! She looked radiating in her minimal bridal makeup and classic chignon hairdo! Kaitlyn’s flawless chignon hairdo allowed her to show off her bare shoulder in the chicest way! The loose hair curls perfectly framed her beautiful highlighted cheekbones. Her waist-length bridal veil attached to her hairdo added an elegant charm and classiness to her entire bridal look! Not to forget, her perfectly lined eyes with black kohl and red lips said a lot about her happiness and excitement level! The shine in her eyes was unconditional!
There are times when photographers miss out on small details, but our photographers have keen eyes even for the smallest details! Before they went ahead and captured some fun-filled wedding photographs of Kaitlyn and her lovely bridesmaids, they creatively captured the wedding ring bands of Kaityln and Sean! The beautiful diamond and platinum ring made us feel that Kaityln and Sean are truly made for each other!
Before our beautiful bride and her lovely bridesmaids slipped into their outfits of the day, our Chicago wedding photographers captured them in their charming pink and white robes gracefully sitting on the bed and sharing some moments of laughter with each other. Kaitlyn had her bridal party gathered for a ‘round for an Instagram-worthy pic. By looking at these pictures we can guess that there might be some inside joke going on that had brought a big smile to the face of all the ladies!
Our wedding photographers always make sure that our brides don’t miss a moment of all the fun with their girls, but they also make sure that a wedding portfolio has a few photos of the groom getting ready with his guys, too! While our one wedding photographer was capturing Kaitlyn’s photographs while she was getting ready and slipping into her wedding dress, on the other hand, our second wedding photographer captured our groom’s getting-ready moments! Our talented Chicago wedding photographers perfectly took the shots of Sean getting a helping hand from his mother in getting all prepped up for his big day! In the wedding pictures clicked by our professional wedding photographers in Chicago, we can easily see how happily and excitedly Sean’s dearest mother was when she helped her handsome son with his boutonniere! All these moments are always special and make for a perfect shot!
For his wedding day groom look, Sean opted for a black pantsuit and coupled it with a white crisp shirt and black suspenders. His shimmering maroon bow tie added an extra charm to his entire look. While our one professional Chicago wedding photographer was busy capturing candids of Sean and his heartthrob groomsmen just outside the Madonna Della Strada Chapel. Our other wedding photographer was documenting formal solos of Kaitlyn after she got all dolled up for the big day. She looked nothing but out of this world in her stunning wedding dress. Her wedding dress had fine and delicate embroidered work. The fabric of her wedding dress was tulle. Which added additional charm and elegance to her entire look. Her flared silhouette with a sexy back offered her a great chance to flaunt her well-toned and perfectly shaped curves in the best way possible. Applique work on illusion bodice and cape added an effortless romantic elegance to her entire bridal look!
Kaitlyn and Sean’s wedding ceremony in the Madonna Della Strada Chapel wedding venue was a traditional-style Catholic wedding. The tranquil and romantic setting offered by this unique wedding space gave a bucket full of photography opportunities to our Chicago suburbs wedding photographers to capture magical wedding photos! Sitting on the edge of downtown Chicago, the Madonna Della Strada Chapel overlooking Lake Michigan lends a surreal setting for swoon-worthy wedding photography! The incredible architecture inside the Madonna Della Strada Chapel wedding venue will blow you and your wedding guests away. Outside is just as stunning with the shimmering surface of Lake Michigan looking back at you. The most awaited moment came and Kaityln walked down the aisle with her father by her side towards the love of her life. She was shining like a bright star when she walked down the aisle. The moment came and our love birds were standing next to each other to start the rest of their happy life together. They exchanged their wedding bands along with their wedding vows and were announced as the newly wedded couple.
After Sean and Kaityln were declared as the officially married couple, our affordable wedding photographers captured a perfect picture of them together after their wedding ceremony. Sean looked nothing but charming and with Kaitlyn by his side in that gleaming white wedding dress with the long train covering the floor, they looked a perfect match. Sean and Kaityln’s post-wedding couple portrait was something to swoon over. After a perfect couple photograph of Sean and Kaiytln together, it was time for some formal family photo session. The very first photograph was Kaitlyn’s mom and dad together with the newly wedded couple followed by a gorgeous photo of Kaitlyn’s bridesmaids and Sean’s groomsmen standing together in the perfect way!
After their formal wedding party photography session with their bridesmaids and groomsmen, Kaitlyn and Sean headed outdoors to pose in front of the Church entrance where they both got hitched. An iconic pose where Sean kisses Kaitlyn while her wedding dress train was left sweeping on the floor just exactly outside the doors of the Church looked nothing but a romantic movie poster! Our affordable and professional wedding photographers captured a low angle couple portrait of Sean and Kaitlyn back against the stunning backdrop of the Madonna Della Strada Chapel. Their kissing silhouette on the balcony was romantic and beautiful! For further couple wedding photos, they both headed towards the Cudahy Library’s seafoam green colored finely intricate gate. They posed with their wedding party against the adorable and enchanting seafoam green gate. Just like every other couple, Kaitlyn and Sean were head over heels in love with each other. There is a beautiful couple photo captured by our skilled wedding photographers in which Kaityln is wearing Sean’s coat holding her bridal bouquet while Sean is hugging her. OMG! That photo is something we can’t stop gushing about!
Their outdoor post-wedding photography session concluded with a romantic photo of Sean and Kaitlyn together after which they both headed to the Crown Center for the Humanities for their amazing and unforgettable Chicago wedding reception. The Crown Center for the Humanities was a stunning open space that offered breathtaking views of Lake Michigan. It was a paradise for our wedding photographers as it offered endless photography opportunities. Sean and Kaitlyn’s wedding had so many personalized or we say DIY elements in their weddings. Adorned with hanging bulb lights, Kaitlyn and Sean’s wedding reception area was lit beautifully making it a serene setting. Our wedding photographers captured stunning decor and detailed photos. Their dessert table had so many varieties that it could leave anyone actually drooling over the sweets. And we think it had everything that could actually satisfy a person with a sweet tooth.
Their wedding reception started with Kaityln and Sean on the dance floor sharing the beautiful moment of their first dance. Our Chicago and its suburbs wedding photographers had enough opportunities to capture their memorable and romantic first dance moment in the best of frames. Their choreographed moves and spins left everyone in the audience in great amazement. Well, after Kaityln and Sean shared some romantic and cozy dance moves with each other, it was Kaityln’s dad and Sean’s mother to share the dance floor with a lovely couple of the day! They both danced the night away under the beautiful Chicago skyline leaving an unforgettable impression on the hearts and minds of their wedding guests. It was indeed a day and night to be remembered and to be talked about for the years to come!
