Drake Hotel Winter Wedding Photography by Elena Bazini.
This year has been one for the books! I feel so lucky to have witnessed so many special days for so many wonderful couples. I could not think of a better exclamation point on the end of such an unforgettable year than with Kristie & Michael’s Drake Hotel wedding in November. Their wedding was elegant, classic, and beautiful. And their connection was one you could feel just being in their presence. Michael must have tried to kiss Kristie three times during the ceremony before it was actually time. These two are sweet, funny, and so in love. There would be no better way to end our year full of love than with these two. We hope you enjoy this recap!
Congratulations again to our beautiful bride and groom, as well as to their lovely families! We were honored to be a part of this celebration. I hope these photos help you guys relive this day for many years to come. Merry Christmas! xo- Elena

Hi Elena!
Wow! What a fantastic job you did photographing our daughter’s Chicago wedding! Your shots (and Liz’s) captured so many beautiful, precious moments. You really outdid yourselves during a long day, shooting at multiple indoor and outdoor locations (so special to have those unique photos), dealing with lots of people in the wedding party and in the families….and….braving the weather, (which you actually made the most of in the pictures!) We are so happy with the results! Most importantly, you were really fun and professional to work with, and we honestly enjoyed the entire experience with you. Thank you so much! We will highly recommend you to anyone who needs a photographer–anywhere!
