Spring Wedding at The Chicago Firehouse Restaurant | Erin & Vincent

I’m so excited to share Erin and Vincent’s wedding day at The Chicago Firehouse Restaurant!

These two are truly something special. Erin found me through her cousins, the Trump sisters, and it immediately felt like such a full-circle moment. I’ve felt like part of the Trump family ever since I photographed Lyndsey’s wedding day back in 2018, and over the years, I’ve had the honor of documenting so many milestones for them. Being welcomed back to photograph Erin and Vincent’s wedding day meant so much to me. They are simply the best people, and it was such a joy to celebrate alongside them!

From the Couple

We met through mutual friends, but didn’t start dating until about 2 1/2 years ago. We were out in the West Loop watching a Bears game with friends when we started talking and getting to know each other. From that day on, we’ve been inseparable! About a year into dating, we moved in together and got our dog, Dash. Then, in June 2025, we bought our first home together in the suburbs. Family and friends mean everything to us. We hope to one day start our own family, and in the meantime, we just love doing life together. We’re always laughing, cooking meals at home, trying new restaurants, binge-watching our favorite shows, going to concerts, and working out together. We truly are best friends!

Advice for Engaged Couples

Never stop dating each other. It sounds simple, but it’s something we really believe in and try to live out every day.

The Wedding Day

Erin and Vincent’s wedding day at The Chicago Firehouse Restaurant was everything they dreamed it would be and more. Their vision of an intimate, romantic dinner party came to life so beautifully. From the moment you walked into the space, you could feel it – dim lighting, glowing candlelight, lush white florals, touches of greenery, and soft gold accents that tied everything together so effortlessly. It was romantic in every sense of the word.

And somehow, they were gifted the most gorgeous March day. Truly the best kind of surprise for a spring wedding in Chicago!

What stood out most throughout the entire day was the joy. There was so much laughter, so many genuine moments, and just this overwhelming sense of love from every single person in the room. Erin and Vincent have a way of making everyone feel comfortable and included, and it was so evident in how their family and friends showed up for them.

It was one of those wedding days where everything felt meaningful and so intentional, relaxed, and centered around what matters most. Celebrating with their closest people, sharing incredible food, and soaking in every moment together.

Erin and Vincent – it was such an honor to photograph your wedding day and witness the beginning of this next chapter. Your love is joyful and fun, and I have no doubt that the life you’re building together will be just as beautiful. I’m so grateful I got to be a small part of your special day!
