Nada & Rami’s Unforgettable Old Post Office Wedding
We first met Nada and Rami at the Lincoln Park Conservatory where Rami had planned the picture-perfect proposal. Nada was so sweetly surprised when Rami got down on one knee, it was such a joy for us to be there! . . .
We first met Nada and Rami at the Lincoln Park Conservatory where Rami had planned the picture-perfect proposal. Nada was so sweetly surprised when Rami got down on one knee, it was such a joy for us to be there! He worked with his friends to set up a beautiful sitting area with sparkly lights and champagne ready to celebrate, it was just the best night.
As Nada and Rami worked to plan their wedding we followed along with their adventures on Instagram. We were thrilled to be asked to photograph their wedding at the stunning Old Post Office downtown. After getting to know Leah and the Old Post Office through our Love is Essential wedding earlier this year we were so happy to have another gorgeous wedding to celebrate at this unforgettable venue!
Conrad caught up with Nada and Rami for an amazing sunflower field engagement session just before their wedding. These two share such a beautiful love together and their connection was on full display at their engagement session and then again on their wedding day.
Nada looked amazing thanks to her glam squad, Rami’s reaction when seeing his bride on the rooftop of The Old Post Office was so incredibly sweet. After their first look Nada and Rami happily walked arm in arm around the city with us as we took photos of just the two of them together. We had so much fun exploring and making beautiful photographs, it was a dream wedding. When we returned to the Old Post Office the celebration officially began with their amazing rooftop zaffe ceremony followed by endless music and dancing. It was a night we will never forget (scroll all the way down to see Rami being tossed INSANELY high in the air by his buddies during the reception!) We had the most amazing time celebrating these two and are thankful to have been there to celebrate their love.
Congratulations, Nada and Rami, we love you and wish you a lifetime of happiness together!

Love is Essential - The Old Post Office
When we first assembled our core vendor team for Love is Essential, we started talking about finding the right VENUE. One of the most exciting things about planning a wedding is talking about WHERE your dream day will take place. As a team, we wanted to find the PERFECT location to host this amazing wedding - a wedding to celebrate essential workers gifted entirely by the best wedding vendors in Chicago.
As our conversations about the perfect venue evolved we talked more and more about The Old Post Office. The Chicago main post office was once the busiest in the United States thanks to Chicago’s massive volume of mail from retailers driven by the Montgomery Ward and Sears catalogs. The impressive Art Deco building spans across the Eisenhower Expressway and welcomes travelers to the city as you drive directly underneath the building. After sitting vacant for years, the Old Post Office has undergone a major transformation over the last few years and is now home to several corporate offices and an absolutely breathtaking wedding venue known as Post 433 Events.
We knew that the Old Post Office would be the perfect location for Love is Essential, and were beyond excited when they quickly said YES to generously hosting this amazing event. And when we met Jamie and Leah of The Old Post Office in person and toured this breathtaking building, we were covered in goosebumps imagining the possibilities for Love is Essential.
Post 433 Events has THE most breathtaking spaces for your wedding. From the gilded Art Deco historic lobby to the cool and comfortable Telegram Lounge to the peaceful Library and Vault spaces there is a little something for everyone inside this stunning venue. When Conrad and I first walked in we gasped at the impressive and sparkling lobby. I could completely envision the most beautiful ceremony in that unforgettable space. And as we toured the Telegram Lounge I pictured playing bocce ball there while enjoying a cocktail and views across the Chicago River. Friends, I just cannot say enough about The Old Post Office. Considering everything that is happening now with the Post Office, we feel especially grateful that we will be hosting Love is Essential at this historic venue that celebrates both essential workers and their rich history of service to Chicago. I wish I could photograph every wedding there, and I am incredibly thankful that we will be able to use this space for Love is Essential.
