Lincoln Park Conservatory Garden & Cafe Ba Ba Reeba! Wedding - Mallory & Albert

Mallory & Albert’s wedding day was anything but ordinary—and that’s exactly what made it so perfect. Their Chicago celebration was spread across some of the city’s most iconic spots, each adding its own personality to the day.

They started the morning getting ready at Hotel Lincoln in Lincoln Park, and after their first look across the street, we wandered around the South Pond area for photos. Then came one of my favorite wedding surprises ever: a spur-of-the-moment stop at The Wiener’s Circle for some food and photos. It was completely them, and all of the shots were completely epic.

The ceremony was held in the Lincoln Park Conservatory Garden, keeping things loose, intimate, and heartfelt. From there, everyone gathered at Café Ba Ba Reeba for a cozy, laid-back dinner reception full of tapas, drinks and great times.

And because no wedding is complete without a party, Mallory & Albert finished the night at Alive One (a longtime favorite of mine, btw), where the official dance floor came alive. It was rambunctious in the very best way—fun, loud, and overflowing with joy.

Mallory & Albert - along with their amazing friends and family - created a wedding that was truly their own. Warm, inviting, and filled with personality—it was such a pleasure to be part of a day that felt so real and so them.
