Chicagohenge 2023. Michigan Avenue and Madison Street. Chicago, Illinois USA

This happens twice a year when the sun lines up to set directly between the buildings. Use Google for the best explanation.

This image was shot with my android phone, not my pro cameras.

All those silhouetted people in the middle of the image were also taking photos, not waiting for the El train.

We were surrounded by hundreds of people just in our area alone, everyone vying for the best spot and angles as the sun started setting.

It was almost like I was shooting a wedding and competing with guests for the best cake cutting photo ; )

Chicagohenge 2023 with my favorite person.

We were at Michigan Ave and Madison St, and it was packed with people all along Michigan Ave. waiting for the sun to set between the buildings. Happens twice a year.

The sunset turned out to be gorgeous today.

Love these four-leaf clover cufflinks that the groom wore on his wedding.

The groom was already lucky when he married the woman of his dreams.

Slainté to the happy couple!

Handsome groom. Love photographing the guys. Usually, the majority of grooms don't like having their photo taken on their wedding day by themselves.
That is until I tell them that this photo is for their significant other/partner, and his mom or mother figure.

Then they pose for me. Happily!!

Love the joy and exuberance of the bride and her sister, who was her maid of honor as the riverboat takes them to see the sites of the city.

The bride and her family are from France, and the groom is from Chicago. They met in France and are now living in Paris.

This was the first time the bride, her family, and friends that attended their wedding and reception had ever been in Chicago, and for some, the first time in America.

So the couple held the events on the Summer of George Boat to show off the Windy City to their guests.

It was wonderful to watch their faces as the Riverboat traveled down the Chicago River and then headed to Lake Michigan at Dusk.

And then, as the sun set, they danced on the upper deck under the stars with the lights of the skyscrapers in the distance.

When a fireman gets married, you call in the big guns for a photo opportunity with his firetruck, in front of his firehouse and his fellow fireman, to help with whatever we need.

Thank you to all those working firemen
who helped behind the scenes to make this photo happen for their fellow fireman and friend.

To me, hands tell a story. LOVE photographing hands.

Here, we have the hands of a bride, her mom, and her mom's mom.

All women are showing off their wedding ring sets. 3 generations of married women. Now, this tradition awaits the next generations to add their hands to the photo album.

ETA: Just learned these are called barefoot sandals.

These are the feet of a bride on her wedding day. Adorned with a footlace made of lovely beads.

Okay, footlace is a word I just made up, but I don't know what to call the jewelry on her feet, which will serve as her shoes for her and her groom's outdoor ceremony.

I photographed them as part of the details she was wearing that day. Never realizing what they were until she showed me once she had them on her feet.

She wore them before, during, and after the ceremony. And changed into low heels for the reception.

I love them. They look cool. Not for every bride, but perfect for the one who loves to go barefoot outside. She was happy. We all were happy 😊

Bridal bouquets are a lovely, touching way to honor family and friends who have passed away by pinning on memorial photo charms and lockets.

Those special people will be with you as you walk down the aisle.

Shot a wedding here last weekend, and even this bathroom is cool. I mean, come on...35mm processed rolls of film for curtains. Brilliant!!

And I added my own touch with my Nikon strap hanging down from my camera.

It is a retail venue and an event venue.
Go see it if you get a chance.
