So glad to see you here. My name is Kelsey Combe (pronounced comb-bee!) and I'm a wedding & lifestyle photographer currently based in Chicago, Illinois.

About Kelsey

This one is a biggie. Jordan and Quinn had a Fairlie Chicago wedding this past September and it was everything they had dreamed of. I apologize in advance- this is an image heavy post. Every detail was full of care and love. Every moment was carefully thought out. And Jordan and Quinn had made sure to tell their story on their wedding day. They opted for one of my favorite color schemes- crisp whites and formal blacks. Combined with the famous ivy wall at the venue, this color palette was the perfect combination for a Fairlie Chicago Wedding.

The Blackstone Hotel

The day started with getting ready photos at The Blackstone Hotel. If you haven’t looked into this hotel, definitely do so. It’s stunning, and the light in it is perfection for photography. You can see more about it here. After we wrapped up the morning, we headed to The Wrigley Building to take bridal party pictures. Jordan and Quinn really wanted the iconic Chicago feel for their wedding, and they nailed it. A classic and historic hotel morning, followed by portraits on the Chicago River, and ending at a perfect renovated warehouse venue, which Chicago is known for.

Fairlie Chicago Wedding

I gasped walking into Fairlie for the first time. It’s an absolute dream. The ceremony space is stunning, the cocktail hour space is remarkable, the reception space… I mean. It’s all so good. And the Ivy Wall just out front provides for a nature feel to complement the industrial feel of the area. The pictures really speak for themselves, so let’s get to them… and a huge shoutout to the venue and to Hitched With Hannah for making the day so smooth.

"Kelsey Combe is truly amazing! From the moment we hired her, she was professional and fun to work with. She has an unbelievable talent for what she does, and after our engagement photos came back, we knew we had 100% made the right choice hiring her as our wedding photographer. She was responsive throughout the entire wedding planning process and was happy to answer any questions (and like most brides, I had a lot). She perfectly captured our day - it was like the photos came to life to tell our wedding day story. All of our friends and family were in awe. We could not have been happier with everything!

"Hiring Kelsey was the BEST decision!"

"Kelsey made everything so straightforward, and the day of the wedding, she was a godsend. Despite the 90+ degree heat, she kept everything on schedule to the minute. She took so much of the stress out of the day, keeping us all relaxed. I really can't recommend Kelsey enough!"

 Kelsey was more than just our wedding photographer! She helped keep everything on schedule, keep our bridal party and family organized for pictures, and even clean my dress multiple times as it got dirty walking on the streets of NYC. As the bride, she made me feel so relaxed and stress free on the day of the wedding, any bride's dream! Also, Kelsey's pictures are AMAZING!! We were so happy when we got them back, she truly captured every single detail of our wedding day so it felt like we were reliving the day.
