A Cinematic Celebration of Love: Caroline & Vasilios in Chicago

Caroline and Vasilios’s wedding blended elegance, family, and heritage, from bridal suite preparations to a night of traditional Greek dancing at the Hilton Chicago.

The Morning Glow

The day began in Bridal Suite 2703, where Caroline and her bridesmaids prepared with the teams from Three One Two Bridal and Arbella. One of the most touching moments captured on film was the bridesmaids’ reveal and an emotional first look with Caroline’s father, Kevin McCarthy.
