a Multicourse Dinner & a Big Band

I met Connie & Nick a while back, when they came down to Chicago for a weekend.  They live in Green Bay, but got married in Milwaukee at the Astor Hotel.  The Astor Hotel is a great old hotel on the north side of the City and it's within walking distance of some awesome views of Lake Michigan.  The Ceremony & Reception took place in the same room, with friends & family helping to flip the room in between.  Simple.  Fun.  Beautiful.  Oh yea...and the Bride had about 4 outfits throughout her Big Day!  Connie's Family had hosted a traditional tea ceremony in the morning and she wore a stunning red gown.  I later photographed the gown, as I did not attend the tea ceremony.
When I met up with Connie before her Ceremony at the Astor Hotel, she was wearing a GORGEOUS white wedding gown.  We did all of the photos in this dress.
Before her Grand Entrance into the Reception, she changed into yet another white gown, this one a traditional Vietnamese Wedding Gown.  THEN... she had a little black & white short dress that she wore for swinging around all night to the 21 piece Brew City Big Band that they hired!  Just amazing!
The photos just say it all:
