The Field Museum Chicago Wedding Photography/ Chelsea & Bryce

A wedding at The Field Museum exudes elegance and sophistication. The venue’s timeless charm and refined atmosphere make it an ideal choice for couples seeking a classic and sophisticated wedding day. From the stunning reception halls to the intimate ceremony spaces, every corner of the museum exudes a sense of grandeur, providing an exquisite backdrop for capturing the elegance of your special day. Chelsea and Bryce made the right choice for a beautiful wedding that we will remember forever, and I hope you too, looking at these photos of theirs.We started early in the morning. The preparations took place at the Trump Hotel on the Chicago Riverwalk. Chelsea was in a stunning, spacious suite with floor-to-ceiling windows offering an incredible view of downtown Chicago and the river. All the bridesmaids were there, and we captured some amazing getting ready photos.T he groom and groomsmen got ready at the Congress Plaza  Hotel.

THE FIRST LOOK TOOK PLACE IN GRANT PARKA

Trolley brought Chelsea and the bridesmaids to the spot where the first look was set to happen. For this wedding, we were in charge of both photo and video. When both teams are involved, good coordination is essential to make sure everything is captured beautifully. It’s important to plan where each person stands so we don’t get in each other’s way—especially with a four-person team. The sun was very strong, so we chose a shaded spot for the first look. Chelsie was truly excited and wanted the moment to be just between her and Bryce. The rest of the wedding party stayed at a distance. It was a very emotional moment for both of them. We continued with photo and video coverage in Grant Park. After that location, we headed to the Museum Campus, where their ceremony was scheduled near the Field Museum. We captured more beautiful photos at one of the best spots for a skyline view of Chicago, with the entire city in the background.

CEREMONY AND RECEPTION AT THE  FIELD MUSEUM CHICAGO

Weddings and receptions at the Field Museum are always scheduled after the museum closes at 5 PM. We arrived on time and had the opportunity to take photos inside the museum. The couple are huge dinosaur lovers and specifically wanted some photos with the wedding party in the dinosaur exhibit area. It was such a fun and unique experience—we truly enjoyed it and were excited to shoot in that setting. The ceremony was set up outside at the North Entrance, beneath the grand staircase, with a stunning view of the city in the background. Everything looked absolutely phenomenal. A live string ensemble added to the atmosphere, making it even more magical. The descent of the wedding party and the bride down the steps turned out perfectly in our photos. Field Museum is truly something special when it comes to weddings. After the ceremony, guests enjoyed cocktail hour while we took a few more sunset portraits of the couple. The reception space—framed by mammoths in the background and prehistoric birds suspended from the ceiling—is absolutely breathtaking. If you’re looking for a unique and unforgettable wedding experience, this is the place. After dinner, the celebration continued with a lively party. The atmosphere was filled with joy and energy—so many happy, smiling faces. In a venue like this, it’s almost impossible to feel anything but excited. In one word, we were blown away by this wedding.

A few days after we sent them their photos, we received these kind words from Chelsea, and we want to share them with you in this post.

 “WS did a phenomenal job! Their photography and videography skills are outstanding. All our videos and photos turned out incredible. Milan and Ana were able to capture our special day and make it forever memorable. They were also quick in response and super friendly. We would highly recommend! Thank you so much! “
