Photographing Lubna and Gino’s wedding at Dominican University was a true joy. The beautiful gothic-style architecture and lush greenery set the perfect scene for their special day. Despite the summer heat and an AC that wasn’t working quite right, the atmosphere stayed lively and filled with excitement.

A Meaningful Reception Celebration
The celebration continued at Beaujolie by Victoria in Schiller Park, a location full of personal significance for Lubna. Her late mother had worked near O’Hare for much of her life, making this venue an emotional and meaningful choice. The reception overflowed with Middle Eastern traditions, including belly dancing, sword performances, and plenty of dancing with guests.

Authentic Moments Captured
Lubna and Gino’s warmth and authenticity were present in every moment. They truly made it easy to document their love story, from their beautiful ceremony to the joyful reception. Their wedding was a perfect reflection of their deep connection and cultural heritage.

As a Chicago-based wedding photographer, I focus on documentary and creative photography that captures each couple’s unique essence. If you’re looking for a photographer to document your Dominican University wedding or any other special event, I’d love to be part of your celebration.
