Luxury Bridgeport Art Center Wedding in Chicago

If you’re searching for a luxury Chicago wedding venue that feels editorial and elegant, start at Bridgeport Art Center’s Skyline Loft! It’s been my most recommended choice for couples who want a versatile, spacious venue with warmth and character. Savannah and Saad’s Vogue-worthy wedding showcased just how incredible this venue can be!

Why I Love Weddings in the Skyline Loft

The Skyline Loft at Bridgeport Art Center is one of my favorite venues, and I’ve been fortunate to photograph many couples there. It’s a huge, expansive space that has a way of bringing any couple’s vision to life. (Not to mention the gorgeous backdrop of Chicago skyline views.) Savannah and Saad shared, “After meeting with Jamie and seeing her previous work at our venue, it was a no-brainer. She truly understood our vision.” For Savannah and Saad’s wedding, the space was transformed multiple times as they made it their own! It was an editorial dream, classic and elegant with modern and personal touches that perfectly complemented the industrial aesthetic. Whatever you have in mind, Bridgeport has something truly special that you can shape into your dream vision for your wedding.

My Advice for Bridgeport Art Center Weddings

Plan Ahead for THOSE Editorial Group Shots

If you’re envisioning a stylish, editorial Vogue-inspired group photo with your wedding party, preparation is key. A staged area, such as your ceremony platform or a space with stairs, works perfectly to create layered levels for an elegant and organized shot. Having the right chairs or props available is another overlooked secret to help bring the vision to life. A photographer who you can trust with your vision, and can get everyone where they need to be quickly ensures that everyone will look natural and confident. Trust me, when you can pull it off it is SO worth it! Savannah & Saad told me “It was incredible to see it all come together. Everyone to this day raves about this moment!”

Think Beyond Hotels for Getting Ready Spaces

Airbnbs are a fantastic alternative for getting ready on your big day. They often provide more options for bright, beautifully furnished spaces that elevate your photos. For Savannah and Saad’s wedding, a spacious Airbnb was not only a great spot for getting ready, but also served as the perfect spot for an intimate dinner with friends the night before. Pro tip: Not sure you can find the right bnb to fit your needs and the vision? I’m absolutely here for it! I’m happy to help you find the best Airbnb option, with everything you need. You deserve a gorgeous comfy space that can also be just a flawless backdrop for the special moments pre-wedding!

First Look at The Robey Hotel’s Up Room

Savannah and Saad chose The Up Room at The Robey for their first look, and it was absolutely stunning!! This was my first time photographing a first look in this unique space, and it turned out to be the perfect spot for capturing the excitement and emotion of the moment. If you’re considering an unforgettable and dramatic first look location, The Robey Hotel’s Up Room should be on your list!

Savannah and Saad’s Luxury Editorial Wedding

Savannah and Saad wanted their wedding to feel timeless, luxurious and full of emotion — and it delivered on every level! I loved the Airbnb’s they chose to get ready in — beautiful decor, gorgeous light, and they were even able to use the space for a cozy dinner with friends the night before.

The couple’s first look took place at The Robey’s Up Room, a unique location that added a sophisticated touch to their wedding day portraits. This moment set the tone for the rest of the day, creating an intimate and emotional start to what turned into such a genuine and authentic day.

When it came time for the ceremony and reception, the Skyline Loft truly shone. With high ceilings and an expansive layout, the space allowed the couple’s vision to come to life. The ceremony stage doubled as the perfect spot for their editorial-style group shots, with chairs and levels arranged to create a layered, dynamic look.
