A Wedding, Korean Food, and Bowling, too! | Real Chicago Wedding

Jane and Lee had a wonderful, nontraditional New Years wedding in Chicago. Photography was important to the lovely couple, so we started the day in the gorgeous Chicago Cultural Center where they had their first look. After roaming the halls of the Cultural Center, we jumped on a school bus bound for Lincoln Park Conservatory to meet up with family and friends, and of course, take more pictures! Afterwards, it was off to Jin Ju, a fantastic Korean restaurant on Chicago's north side, for the ceremony and reception. (Hot, yummy Korean food for the vendors? Yes, please!) Jane and Lee had a cake bar, and cake toppers from Goose Grease were front and center! Jane met Lee when he was her rugby coach, so their cake toppers sported rugby uniforms. To cap off the whirlwind of a day, Jane and Lee took everyone bowling at 10 Pin in downtown Chicago. I was so thrilled that I was able to work with Jane and Lee on their wedding day; this was definitely some of the most fun I've ever had!
