Chicago Wedding Season Coming In Hot.

Although my busy season started on a high in Italy, Chicago kept it going with Mer and Mike for a Morgan’s on Fulton wedding. Their day was stacked with some of my favorite vendors to work with, and it was an absolute blast from start to finish.

Morgan’s on Fulton is in the perfect location in Fulton Market. It has some of the best hotels and restaurants within walking distance of the venue to host your family and friends for a perfect wedding weekend. If you’re on the hunt for a venue to host a wedding for less than 120 guests, highly recommend checking it out.

The Details

Y’all know I am a sucker for a good detail. And florals. So floral Manolo Blahniks? *Cue an excessive amount of flat lay photos. Mer and Mike opted for green and white florals with touches of blush and lilac, which matched her shoes (and her lilac Jacquemus) perfectly.

The couple got ready at The Hoxton in the West Loop. There is a wonderful suite called The Apartment which is PERFECT for a big party to get ready. Tons of natural light, full kitchen, and several rooms to relax in. We are big fans and recommend checking it out if you’re getting married in Chicago.

The most gorgeous bouquet by May Floral. I am a SUCKER for any flower in that gorgeous shade of purple. It is a main color of my wedding palette!

BEHIND THE LENS

hi, i'm ARIELLE.

You can usually find me home with my golden retriever or day dreaming of my next trip to Italy.

I am a firm believer in living life with purpose and never missing the opportunity to experience something new. The Meyers-Briggs test says I am an INFJ with ESFJ qualities (an introverted extrovert, IYKYK), and my friends say I am the person they come to when they need comfort, advice, or fresh baked goods. I consider myself an empath, so special moments you share with your loved ones will likely get me all teary eyed and sentimental. I am not here to pretend life is picture perfect, but to capture genuine emotion and create timeless pieces of art to decorate your home. I’m constantly striving for perfection, but have a calming personality and am relatively easy going. 

When the camera is not around my neck, I am a big home body. I love hanging on the couch with my dog, making pasta, breads and desserts from scratch, squatting 400+ pounds in the gym, or plotting my next trip outside of the US. As a direct descendant of Italian immigrants, I feel most at home in Italy (and speak a bit of Italian, too.)

Arielle has photographed over 175 weddings across 12 states, 5 countries, and 3 continents. While her heart beats for coastal and countryside Italian weddings, she is willing to travel anywhere and everywhere to document your day.
