This John Dart Photography shoot is chock full of artistic inspiration. We encourage you to look through these photos several times because you will notice something different, something inspiring each time you do. From the vintage architectural design of the building to the reclaimed art installation and the blushing bride to the delicate florals, we just can’t get enough. We are still celebrating the success of the 1st Chicago NotWedding and all of the inspiration that the Windy City has to offer. Enjoy!

“Our inspiration for the style of this shoot was the venue. Chicago is full of beautiful ballrooms, but we were wanting something a little more eclectic than a stuffy ballroom! Since outdoor weddings aren’t very common, the ability to have a roof top view of the Windy City is a nice touch. The venue is sustainable with most of the artwork being repurposed items of all kinds – the arch over the dining table is made of pieces of picture frames, lengths of film form most of the desk that greets you under the huge chandelier, and original beams hold lengths of industrial light and letters of all kinds. With great lighting, fun music and gorgeous table decor, the party will go on ’til the wee hours of the morning!”
