Not only was I one of the photography vendors at the January bridal show at Wicker Park Social Center, I also took photographs for Bride's Guide Magazine, the sponsors of the show. You can find out more about them at the NWI Bridal Shows site.

As a portrait photographer I'm quite used to taking images of people, but this assignment was more about details and capturing the flavor of the event and to also showcase photos for the next edition of the magazine.

Speaking of flavor, the show is an excellent opportunity to taste wedding cake and other delicious desserts...

I'm all about raspberry and chocolate so the above layer cake would be my choice. However, the strawberries below look just as good.

This show also features the most prizes around. As I was doing my meet and greets with brides to be, I could hear winners announced again and again.

Romance was in the air as couples strolled the large Wicker Park ballroom. Vendors from all areas were there to show and tell.

From wedding photographers (yay me) to jewelry to DJ's, this bridal fair definitely had things covered. Their next show is June 5th from 6pm to 9pm at Wicker Park in Highland.
