There’s something magical about a summer wedding in Chicago — and Leah and Dan’s celebration at Loews Chicago Hotel was the perfect blend of elegance, warmth, and joy. From heartfelt moments to an unforgettable dance floor, every detail reflected the connection they share.

A Chicago Weekend to Remember

Before their wedding day, Leah and Dan welcomed guests with a lively celebration at Island Party Hut Tiki Bar and Grill along the Chicago Riverwalk. The tropical atmosphere and city skyline made for the perfect start to their weekend — relaxed, fun, and full of laughter. It was a reflection of who they are as a couple: adventurous, genuine, and always ready to share good food, good drinks, and good company.

A Heartfelt Ceremony

Leah and Dan spent the morning getting ready at Loews Chicago Hotel, surrounded by friends, family, and the buzz of excitement. Leah’s cool confidence and Dan’s kind, easygoing spirit set the tone for the day.

Their ceremony took place on the Garden Terrace, with the Chicago skyline as their backdrop. Every moment — from their exchange of vows to the quiet smiles they shared — felt intimate and full of meaning.

A Private Toast and Real, Candid Moments

Right after the ceremony, Leah and Dan shared a private first toast together — a quiet, intentional moment to soak it all in before the celebration continued. Capturing these genuine moments was deeply important to them. They wanted their photographer to focus on the real, unposed beauty of the day — the laughter, the lipstick on a wine glass, and all the fleeting, emotional details that tell their story.

The Celebration

The evening unfolded with cocktails, dinner, and a coordinated first dance that set the tone for a night full of energy and joy. Surrounded by friends and family, Leah and Dan celebrated exactly the way they live their lives — wholeheartedly and with love.
