Hannah & Allen's Ritz-Carlton Chicago Wedding Video

At 312FILMS, we believe every wedding film should be a blend of love, artistry, and cinematic storytelling. Hannah & Allen’s Ritz-Carlton Chicago wedding on May 24, 2025 was nothing short of spectacular—a TCU love story brought to life in the heart of Chicago with a star-studded vendor team, emotional moments, and unforgettable celebrations.

A TCU Love Story

Hannah & Allen first met at Texas Christian University (TCU), where their relationship blossomed. Their Chicago wedding beautifully honored that history, blending personal touches with elevated design. From their heartfelt ceremony to their high-energy after party, every moment felt authentic, joyful, and grand.

Ceremony & Reception at the Ritz-Carlton, Chicago

Set against sweeping views of Lake Michigan and the Chicago skyline, the Ritz-Carlton Chicago provided the perfect stage. Guests gathered for a heartfelt 5:30 p.m. ceremony, where Hannah made her entrance to “A Thousand Years”, and the couple recessed joyfully to “You’re My Best Friend.” The ceremony was intimate, emotional, and timeless.

The celebration continued with a cocktail hour on the rooftop, followed by a ballroom reception transformed into a dreamscape by the creative talents of HMR Design, Frost Lighting, and Nuage Designs. With lush florals, custom décor, and dramatic lighting, the Ritz was elevated into a one-of-a-kind wonderland.
