I'm so glad you're here. I'm Danielle, a fine art wedding & lifestyle photographer with a focus on capturing magical moments.
When I first heard that they were opening a Chicago wedding venue near one of my favorite breweries, I was thrilled, and so my first Rockwell on the River wedding was bound to be a great one! Rockwell on the River is a stunning space- it’s industrial chic vibes pair perfectly with the backdrop of the Chicago river & skyline. So, when Jessica first got in touch, I was ready to go shoot there right away!
I first met Jessica & Scott (and their pup!) for their lovely summer engagement session at the Lincoln Park Zoo area, and I could tell right away they had an amazing connection. They laughed non-stop, and made each other grin from ear to ear the entire time- this made me even more excited for their big day. Cut to March, and we met up at their getting ready hotel on a rainy day. I had a blast styling Jessica’s beautiful details (those flowers STILL kill me, so perfect), and then capturing loving photos of her and her family as she prepped for the rest of the day.
Since it was rainy, we had to change our photo plans a bit, but it worked out well! I suggested we go to the Lyric Opera House, and it turned out even better than planned. Scott’s reaction to Jessica during their first look was adorable, and we were able to get all of their wedding party photos done in the same spot, which honestly makes for a less stressful day for you and your crew!
Once we arrived at Rockwell on the River, we were greeted by a stunning open space with a floral arch- don’t you love how they decorated the space for both the ceremony and reception? I think the abundance of soft pastels and string lights was a perfect compliment to the industrial vibe of the space itself. Gotta have a little contrast sometimes right?? First up after the admiring of the space, was family formals and then the ceremony, full of happy tears. As the evening progressed, laughter, heartfelt speeches, and lively dance moves filled the air.
Jessica, Scott and I popped out to the deck once the rain let up, and got some truly magical “blue hour” lighting photos for them to end the night. This Rockwell On the River wedding is a testament to the magic that can unfold when love, natural beauty, and a remarkable venue come together. So take a look and enjoy the beauty that even a rainy wedding day can bring <3
