Venue Six10 Chicago Wedding / Chicago wedding photographer

Venue Six10 Chicago Wedding It was an amazing, day full of emotions. We met them last spring when we did their engagement session in Chicago Downtown. Such a wonderful couple. They met in college, where they studied together. Max is from Chicago and Mollie is from Florida.

The engagement session went great. We visited a few locations. Mollie loves Chicago even though she’s only been here for a short time.

MINIMALIST CITY VIEWS AND VIBRANT STORYTELLING AT VENUE SIX10

Documentating a celebration at Venue Six10 is an incredible experience for photographers who thrive on clean architectural lines and massive glass walls. Standing high above Grant Park, this contemporary space demands a sharp eye for geometric framing and sophisticated, clean portraiture. For Mollie and Max’s wedding, our camera focused on balancing the sleek, high-fashion energy of the Chicago skyline with raw, unscripted moments, creating a gallery that feels both deeply personal and visually striking.

GETTING READY AND FIRST LOOK AT THE HISTORIC BLACKSTONE HOTEL

We really love this hotel and have shot full weddings here multiple times. Mollie and Max booked the best suites in the hotel for preparations. Today, we worked as a full team, covering both photography and video. From the very morning, the atmosphere was incredible. Everyone was there — family and the bridal party.

The plan was for the first look to be in the hotel, but there was another wedding going on and many rooms were occupied, so they chose the staircase in the hotel lobby insteadGrant Park is right across from the hotel, and we continued the photography and filming there with the bridal party. Later, the family joined us as well. The weather was perfect.

CEREMONY AND RECEPTION AT VENUE SIX10

Both families are Jewish. Before the ceremony, the Ketubah signing was supposed to take place. Everything happened at Venue Six10. It’s a huge space, giving you the opportunity to host a wedding like this here. The signing took place with lots of joy and laughter from both families. Almost all Jewish weddings include this signing ceremony, and it is very important for their culture.

The ceremony continued immediately after the signing. It was beautiful, accompanied by the music of a harp. After the ceremony and cocktail hour, the newlyweds immediately started dancing to live music, and all the guests were thrilled and joined them.Live music is the best option for a wedding in our opinion. It’s always different when you have a big live band. The party started immediately after the speeches — the atmosphere was incredible. Everyone was in high spirits. The bride changed into a more casual dress so she could relax while dancing. We wish them all the happiness and joy, as they truly look like the perfect couple.

HONATING HERITAGE: THE ART OF JEWISH WEDDING PHOTOJOURNALISM

There is a beautiful intensity to multi-generational traditions like the Jewish Ketubah signing. Capturing these sacred family milestones requires a candid, fast-moving approach where the photographer blends into the room to frame real laughter, tears, and tight embraces. Venue Six10’s open penthouse layout gives us the perfect environment to switch effortlessly between intimate family rituals and grand, light-filled ballroom celebrations without losing a single beat of the day.

We have already shot some weddings at Venue Six10, and you can take a look.

LOVE NOTES

All our videos and photos turned out incredible.

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 it! Thank you so much!

CHELSEA AND BRYCE

The team's talent behind the lens is unlike any other photographer I've seen.

They took the time to understand our vision and preferences during the planning phase, ensuring they captured every important moment. On the day of the wedding, they arrived promptly and coordinated seamlessly with our wedding planner and other vendors.

The team’s talent behind the lens is unlike any other photographer I’ve seen. They have such a remarkable ability to capture not only beautiful posed shots but also candid moments filled with genuine emotion.

Our entire experience with WS Photography was stress-free. Their communication was clear and prompt throughout the entire planning process, and they made us feel comfortable and relaxed during both the engagement shoot and the wedding day.

If you’re searching for a photography team that will not only meet but exceed your expectations for such a momentous occasion, look no further than WS Photography. You will not regret it!!

ALLISON & AARON

We immediately had feeling of comfort in working with Ana.

This feeling was confirmed when we met our day of photography team of Milan and Tamara. I am so glad we chose WS Photography to shoot our wedding. From our first meeting with Ana, through to the final preparation and, of course, the wedding itself, the whole team was friendly, courteous, and professional. And, presumably of utmost concern, they take fantastic photographs. We immediately had feeling of comfort in working with Ana. This feeling was confirmed when we met our day of photography team of Milan, Tamara, and Jelena. On a hot summer June day when we were reluctant to stay outside in the heat for any longer than necessary, each of the photographers were politely persistent in encouraging us to stay outside to get the shots that, in the long term, we will be immensely grateful to have (even if, in the short term, we were uncomfortable). While we are waiting on the final set of photographs to come through, we have been thoroughly impressed with the sample of photographs that we have seen. Our overall experience with WS Photography has been excellent. We recommend them without reservation.

NICOLE & DUNSTAN

WS Photography was amazing to work with.

WS Photography was amazing to work with. We booked Milan for both our engagement pictures and our wedding pictures. Based on his work, I expected really good work, but I cannot tell you how much I LOVE our photos. I might be biased, but I think they were better than any of the examples that we saw when we were first exploring photographers. Ana was fantastic to work with – she always responded and did so in a timely manner, helped figure out the right locations, and was overall collaborative. I am very much an “A” type, and I had a lot of “must shoot” pictures in mind. However, as I look back at the pictures, some of the ones I thought were “awkward” ended up being some of our favorites! Trust Milan’s eye – he has an amazing skill in being able to set up the best shot! Nem was great as well, and his pictures were just as spectacular. I have several friends who occasionally shoot weddings as a profession, and they even commented on how amazing the pictures were. I would recommend the WS Photography team to anyone!

Milan has a way of finding the best, most artistic, beautiful shot to make you look like you just stepped out of a magazine.

Milan and Tamara are so incredibly talented!! We had worked with Milan and his wife Ana for our engagement session, so we already love them, but our wedding would not have been the same without them. It downpoured ALL DAY for our wedding, and it was planned to be an outdoor wedding on a farm, with lots of outdoor shots with the leaves and beautiful fall colors. Obviously that didn’t happen, but we could not be happier with the photos we’ve gotten back so far. Milan has a way of finding the best, most artistic, beautiful shot to make you look like you just stepped out of a magazine. We barely recognize ourselves in these photos, in the absolute best way possible. Milan is a real artist, and we could not recommend he and WS Photography enough. Incredible service, incredible talent – SO worth the price. If you want photos of your wedding that are more art than photo, this is the photographer you’re looking for.

SARAH & FRANK

Milan, Tamara, and Ana were an absolute dream to work with....

Milan, Tamara, and Ana were an absolute dream to work with, and the photos they captured for our engagement session and wedding were stunning! Our expectations were exceeded in every regard with them. They take truly beautiful, thoughtful, personal, artistic photos, and do it with an efficiency and level of professionalism that should be the gold standard for any wedding photographer.. And yet, somehow, we never felt rushed or uncomfortable even for a moment. When we first received our engagement photos, my then-fiancé and I were floored. They so far surpassed what we were expecting in terms of artistry, technical skill, and overall quality that I could hardly believe these were photos of us! For our wedding photos, we knew now the level of quality to expect, but we were still thrilled when we finally saw them. On top of all of this, Milan, Ana, and Tamara are the nicest people. I can’t recommend them enough!

MARISSA & ANDREW

WS photography was so flexible and kept us organized throughout the ups and downs of planning a wedding during the Pandemic.

First, we had our E-shoot with WS photo, and they were so amazing! They were so kind and gave us the direction we needed. I had to actually run to the airport so we had to cut the E session shorter than anticipated. They offered us a second session to finish our E shoot photos. Second, WS photo was so flexible and kept us organized throughout the ups and downs of planning a wedding during the Pandemic. Our plans had to be updated and changed constantly, but Ana was very responsive to our calls. Also, they returned our wedding photos fully edited within two months of our wedding. We HIGHLY recommend using WS photo for your next event!

STEPHANIE & JIMMY

I would highly recommend them to anyone.

The WS Photography team is incredible at what they do. We booked them for both our engagement photos and the wedding itself, and everything turned out amazingly. They are extremely easy to work with throughout the entire process, and have an unbelievable eye for beauty. Not to mention they are very kind and fun people to hang out with during photo shoots. During the wedding, they helped keep everything on schedule, assisted with transportation, and were always ready to capture every special moment. I would highly recommend them to anyone.

MICHELLE & DREW

They caught moments we didn't even realize photographers were shooting...

We went through every profile on WeddingWire and the Knot, before booking WS Photography. When deciding on a photographer, Ana and Milan were very kind, accommodating, and responsive. And aside from them being great to work with, Milan’s an absolutely incredible photographer. We did an engagement shoot with Milan and Ana a year before our wedding, and they were very fun to work with and helped us get comfortable getting our pictures taken. We were blown away by how gorgeous the pictures were, and excited for WS to shoot our wedding. They caught moments we didn’t even realize photographers were shooting. They are true professionals and were exceptional the day of the wedding. Their style is crisp, vibrant, natural pictures, which is exactly what we were looking for. Even better, we didn’t ever feel awkward or staged. The photos truly captured the joy we felt on our wedding day, and we’ll cherish them forever. We just can’t say enough good things!

CASSANDRA & JOHN

We loved the creativity Milan put into his photography as he experimented with the elements around him....

WS Photography did an amazing job capturing our beautiful wedding day (June 2022). The entire team was a breeze to work with and they were all so professional and fun! We asked for a few specific moments/poses we wanted and they made sure to get them the day of! The WS team worked so well with our other vendors too. They were respectful of our videographer and also worked with them to capture very beautiful and artistic shots. We loved the creativity Milan put into his photography as he experimented with the elements around him. Do not hesitate to book them, you won’t be disappointed!! Side note: we did not do an engagement session with WS Photography due to scheduling issues on our end/weather/season/COVID. We put all of our trust in them for our big day and they did not disappoint!

NAIYA & HEMANRH

I am writing this review in hopes that I can help out brides who are looking for an amazing photographer !!!!

They did not waste any time! They worked so good with our videographer and were both in sync trying to get the most amazing shots. If you have any ideas or specific photos you want, they will capture it so make sure you speak up! They delivered the photos way quicker than I thought, about 2 months after the wedding. When my husband and I looked at the pictures for the first time, all I can say is WOW! I am amazed and will forever be grateful to have them as one of my vendors. They have amazing talent and captured the true emotion of our wedding day. I have even had family and friends reach out to me saying how impressed they were. The photos were in a very artistic and thought out way, super clear, and well worth the money. Don’t waste your time doing research like I did, take my word and book them now!!!

MICHELLE & ALEX

Best wedding decision you could ever make

BEST WEDDING DECISION YOU COULD EVER MAKE. WS Photography captured the most beautiful, memorable, fun, stunning, and emotional moments from our day. Selecting a photographer was the first thing I did when I got engaged because I felt that it was one of the most important parts of the wedding… I wanted to forever be able to relive it in all it’s glory and they beyond exceeded my (very high) expectations. You can trust that WS will capture everything you need and then some. We are OBSESSED with our photos, each one better than the last! We are so thankful for their professionalism, artistic eye, and attention to detail on our special day.

BIANCA & CHARLIE

" We've received so many comments about how our wedding photos were the best they have ever seen and asking about who our photographers were.

We would highly recommend WS Photography! Their photo journalistic style captured every little detail of our wedding. Milan and Nem were fantastic to work with and captured the most incredible photos. We’ve received so many comments about how our wedding photos were the best they have ever seen and asking about who our photographers were. We also had to reschedule our wedding twice due to Covid-19 and WS Photography was incredibly accommodating to reschedule. If you are looking for a high quality and price competitive photographer(s), look no further than WS Photography. You’ll be glad you did! Positive Responsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value
