Romantic Chicago Wedding at Room 1520

After knowing each other since their kindergarten days, Carah and Thomas tied the knot at Room 1520. With the help of Urban Allure Events, their day was filled with soft, elegant details and a fun celebration! Thanks to Liz of Something Blue Photography we’re able to share their story and their love! See some of our favorites of the day, below!

From the photographer: Carah and Thomas have history that can be marked all the way back to 1992. Thomas remembers Carah adorably skipping down the hall in kindergarten with her pigtails bopping from side to side. The two also reminisce and laugh about participating in a couple of the same activities in middle school and going on a few casual dates in high school. Carah and Thomas often say, there is a time and place for everything and this is their time and place! Once they reconnected after college through a little bit of luck and the power of social media, they became inseparable.

From the photographer: On their wedding day, the temperature was over 100 degrees, and we sought refuge for photos in the cool of Union Station. As we took photos with their wedding party, the hundreds of travelers waiting to depart thought they were witnessing a movie being filmed and they cheered wildly for Carah and Thomas when they kissed.

Following their celebrity moment we worked our way to Room 1520, one of our favorite spots in the West Loop and the perfect backdrop for their wedding ceremony and reception. Carah looked radiant as she walked down the aisle on her father's arm, and we loved the sweet happy shimmy that Carah and Thomas shared after their first kiss together as husband and wife.

As the sun went down and the room was transformed for dinner and dancing, we snuck up onto the roof of Room 1520 for some stolen moments while the sun set. After dinner, the party really got started as the dance floor filled up (before Thomas' epic garter dance) and we all danced the night away celebrating this amazing couple.
