Loft Lucia Chicago Wedding Video – Jasmine & Rythus
There is something truly electric about a summer wedding in Chicago, and Jasmine and Rythus’s August 8, 2020, celebration was the perfect example of modern elegance and high energy. From the stunning skyline views at the W Lakeshore to the intimate rooftop vibes of Loft Lucia, every moment was a videographer’s dream.
The Morning: Emotional Reveals and City Style
The day began at the W Lakeshore, where the couple prepared for their big moment. One of the most touching sequences to capture was the series of private reveals Jasmine shared with her mother and grandmother, followed by a heartfelt first look with her father. Meanwhile, Rythus shared a suit reveal with his own father, highlighting the deep family bonds that defined the day. A quiet letter and gift exchange between the couple offered a beautiful, intimate moment before the festivities moved to the West Loop.
The Ceremony: Rooftop Vows
The couple chose an unplugged ceremony on the 4th-floor terrace of Loft Lucia, ensuring every guest was fully present as they exchanged vows. The atmosphere was deeply personal, featuring rose honors for the mothers and a processional set to soulful tracks like “Share My Life.” While the ceremony was filled with tradition, the couple’s personality shined through during the recessional as they made their grand exit to “Walk It Talk It” by Migos.
Portraits and Reception: A Chicago Backdrop
Following the ceremony, the bridal party headed to Lurie Garden for portraits against the lush greenery and city architecture. Back at Loft Lucia, the reception space was transformed into a chic dining environment, complete with specialty cocktail bars and a first look of the room for the newlyweds.
The energy stayed high all night, starting with vibrant introductions to Kanye West’s “Clique” and the couple’s first dance to “Inseparable” by Natalie Cole. The evening concluded with a sparkler send-off, a perfect cinematic end to an unforgettable Chicago wedding.
