Skyline Loft Wedding Bridgeport Art Centre

Ashley and Dustin had an incredible Skyline Loft Wedding at Bridgeport Art Centre Chicago.

I remember meeting with them a few months before their wedding and walking through the space in awe at the wash of natural light. As a photographer, light is everything. The incredible windows lining the space on both sides are complimented by the skylight that fills the ceremony space with stunning light.

I arrived at 9:00 am for this Skyline Loft wedding. An hour earlier than scheduled, but I always try to be early. It’s better than late and gives me time to plan details. I knew I wanted to hang Ashleys dress up on a cool backdrop using the space. I managed to get it up high very carefully with a light stand. 

Before the ceremony we had some time with Ashley and with the guys getting ready. So many spaces at the Bridgeport Art Centre have great light and rustic backgrounds. It was easy to capture some great shots before the ceremony.

I loved how Dustin looked at Ashley as she entered the ceremony space. This moment is one of my favorites at every wedding.

The floors at Skyline Loft are so much fun to work on. I liked including the design in some photos and the reflections In others.

A little bit about Skyline Loft

The Bridgeport Art Center showcases two stunning event spaces that epitomize raw urban elegance: the Skyline Loft and the Sculpture Garden Gallery. These venues are distinguished by their architectural beauty, which includes timber structures, exposed brickwork, high ceilings, and exceptional views, creating a captivating backdrop for any event.

The Skyline Loft, the city’s most extensive loft space, spans 18,500 square feet and offers breathtaking panoramic views of the city skyline and the South Branch of the Chicago River. This impressive setting is enhanced by 120 linear feet of skylights and features the original freight elevator, now reimagined with an elegant tiered chandelier and a reclaimed penny bar, which transports guests to the venue. Renowned for its distinction, the Skyline Loft was named “Best New Venue” by Illinois Meetings and Events Magazine and is listed among Crain’s Chicago Business’ “2016 Best Event Spaces.”

These expansive loft spaces serve as a versatile canvas that can be customized to transform any gathering into an extraordinary event.

Ashley and Dustin had an incredible reception at Untitled Supper Club. I will have to blog that later and link it.
