Bride and grooms wedding party photos from their Sky on Nine wedding in Chicago

Sami and Ryan had the most stunning Sky on Nine wedding in Chicago, Illinois! This wedding venue was absolutely SICK! So elegant and upscale. The venue sits right next to the O’Hare Airport, so you could see planes flying in and out all evening! From their emotional Catholic wedding ceremony to their elegant reception at Sky on Nine, every detail of their day was so beautiful!

The Details & Getting Ready

Sami and Ryan’s Chicago wedding was bursting with vibrant summer wedding flowers—a gorgeous mix of blush, bold pink, and pops of blue that created such a fresh and colorful vibe! Sami was stunning in her lace-detailed gown, paired with simple gold jewelry and a soft updo. I especially loved the intimate moment between Sami and her mother as she passed a rosary to her, symbolizing a tradition of their faith on Sami’s special day. Ryan wore a gray suit paired with a light gray tie and a bright, multicolored boutonniere that perfectly tied into Sami’s stunning bouquet!

Sami & Ryan’s Catholic Wedding Ceremony in Chicago

Sami and Ryan held their ceremony at a stunning Catholic church right here in Chicago, and it was beautiful. Ryan couldn’t hold back the emotions as he watched Sami walk down the aisle arm in arm with her parents. It was such a heartfelt moment that gave me all the feels! Capturing reactions like these is always the sweetest part of the day!

Sky on Nine Wedding Party & Bride and Groom Portraits

After their ceremony, we headed to the stunning Sky on Nine wedding venue for outdoor portraits. The venue’s beautiful outdoor grassy area was the perfect backdrop for capturing those dreamy summer wedding vibes! Sami’s bridesmaids looked amazing in their blue dresses, which paired perfectly with the colorful wedding bouquets. And let me just say, this wedding party was an absolute blast—they were down for anything and made the day so much fun!

Indoor Sky on Nine Wedding Reception in Chicago

The Sky on Nine wedding venue brought all the elegant and modern vibes to Sami and Ryan’s wedding reception. With its floor-to-ceiling windows showing off stunning city views, this venue is a total showstopper. The décor was on point with romantic gold accents, vibrant floral centerpieces, and sleek, airy seating that matched the sophisticated feel of the space. If you’re dreaming of an unforgettable Chicago wedding with a view, Sky on Nine is where it’s at!

One thing Sami mentioned that was super important to her was carving out a little personal time after their ceremony. They got to do a private wedding reception room reveal, giving them a quiet moment to soak it all in before the celebrations kicked off! Afterward, they joined their guests for cocktail hour, followed by an epic grand entrance. The night was filled with heartfelt speeches and the dance floor stayed packed with their favorite people all night long! It was the perfect Chicago wedding!
