THE DRAKE HOTEL

Set beneath the gilded ceilings and storied chandeliers of The Drake Hotel, this Chicago wedding felt like a scene pulled from classic cinema. A landmark since the 1920s and a favorite of royalty and Hollywood icons, the hotel lent its old-world glamour to every frame. The couple embraced the grandeur with a black tie dress code and elegant details, from cascading florals to a towering cake that echoed the venue’s opulence.

As Chicago wedding photographers, we love when a celebration feels both timeless and personal, and this Drake Hotel wedding was just that, filled with laughter, golden light, and the kind of moments that never go out of style.
