Hannah and Massimo’s wedding at Artifact Events in Chicago was nothing short of magical. As soon as Kowan and I arrived in the Windy City, we knew this day was going to be special. Hannah and I go way back to high school, where I had the pleasure of shooting her senior photos. It was such an honor when she and Massimo decided to fly us from South Florida to Chicago to capture their wedding day.

The morning started with Hannah and the girls getting ready at The Guesthouse Hotel, while Massimo and the guys prepared at the venue. It was heartwarming to see how everything came together, especially knowing the deep connection Hannah has with Chicago, having moved there after high school to be with Massimo.

One of the most unique and touching details of the day was the dried flowers the flower girls tossed down the aisle. Each flower held sentimental value, as they were gifts from Massimo to Hannah throughout their years of dating. It was a beautiful symbol of their journey together and added a personal touch that made the ceremony even more meaningful.

The venue, Artifact Events, provided the perfect backdrop for their modern and elegant wedding. The industrial charm of the space, combined with the warmth and love radiating from the couple and their guests, made for a truly unforgettable day.

As we documented each moment—from the emotional first look to the lively reception—we couldn’t help but feel a deep connection to this couple and their story. Being a part of their special day, especially in a city that means so much to them, was an experience we’ll always cherish.

At the end of the night, as we headed back to our hotel, we couldn’t stop smiling. The joy and love that filled the day were infectious, and we felt incredibly grateful to have been chosen to capture it all. Hannah and Massimo, thank you for trusting us with your memories. It was an absolute privilege to document your love story, and we wish you a lifetime of happiness together.

With love,
Emma & Kowan
