As I promised, today I’ll be revealing my favorite shots from our Holiday photo shoot with Dabble Me This. We put a lot of thought into how we wanted these photos to turn out, and since we never had engagement photos taken, we wanted to incorporate it all into one.
For our first look we really wanted something classy with a vintage charm. Sepia’s rich wood tones, neutral palette and rustic touches served as the perfect choice. Not to mention, their food and libations are absolutely delicious. I’m not sure why cocktail hour ever went away but we wanted to bring it back, at least for a couple of hours.
Chicago is such a beautiful city but there are very few areas that haven’t been used religiously as backdrop for shoots like these. We wanted to find a hidden gem, a place of our own that took us away. The Fourth Presbyterian Church on Michigan Ave is no secret to locals and tourists alike, but has an old world touch we so hoped for; or as Petar described it, “Harry Potter style”. It was definitely cold that day but we managed to get some amazing shots in and the lighting was perfect. This was our more casual look and we definitely dressed the part.
Over all, we had such a wonderful time. Christine was such a pleasure to work with and our photos turned out more than we could have hoped for. We’ll be sending out Christmas cards with one photo (almost impossible to choose) and updating photos around the house.
Again, a big thank you to Sepia Restaurant and their team for letting us use their beautiful venue. Another thank you goes out to Formally Modern Tuxedo on Clybourn Ave in Chicago, for making my husband feel like James Bond. Christine from Dabble Me This, we couldn’t have done it without your creative eye and talent.
We hope you enjoyed the photos as much as we do!
