behind the scenes @ Morgan MFG

Around the corner from the semi-truck lined streets ofWest Loop's Fulton Market District is an unassuming warehouse that predates the Chicago Fire. The completely renovated space includes 32,000 square feet of not just any open floor plan but a carefully designed and perfectly planned showstopper of a space intended to inspire collaboration + innovation. So much so that the founding group's mission statement reads " Morgan Manufacturing’s mission is to help seed the intersection of Chicago’s business, technology, creative, and philanthropic communities by creating a space to stimulate collaboration, ideation, and creation. " 

Rose Photo was thrilled to be part of one such collaboration of creatives in this incredible space this past September. With our team of 20+ creatives including lighting, hair, make up, event design, marketing, photography and a band...a real live BAND, this crew created someamazing imagery. Because the collective that produced this shoot aims to share the photography in publication, both online and print, we can only share the behind the scenes captures that we often don't show! We love this set as it really shows off this incredibly modern and industrial space with it's warm elegance and very sophisticated style from a different angle than the event coverage, editorial or wedding photography we often show and see.

To this grand group of collaborators, in a space designed to incubate such projects and parties, we can't wait for more occasions to create at Morgan MFG. The team that runs the space, our crew of creatives and the space itself allowed such an awesome and integrative project.

love,

Rose Photo

kelly + brendan take the Mag Mile & then make it official at Architectural Artifacts

these two love birds are. made. for.each other!  from their sweet first look onto the clever jests of all their good people on the microphone, Kelly & Brendan had us out to document a perfectly suited wedding bash at one of Chicago's coolest hoarder's paradise, Architectural Artifacts. I say this with serious love and admiration for this gem of a very fancy flea market.  for example, you want a set of roman columns for your living room? check. they have that. you want a few dozen hat forms to keep your hipster hats shaped right? check. they have that. maybe your just need a bunch of old skeleton keys. they have those, too! and the best part??? you can walk around, look, touch and buy any of these amazing old things..if you have a large bank account as these are not flea market prices and include none of the aforementioned fleas. 

you will, however, find one lil bug in this mini set; it's me.  typically, I don't include self portraits anywheres on my blog. butttt, in keeping up with this "selfie nation", I'm adding a funny lil photo of our take on the selfie with the Rose Photo lens. seriously, this place is one of the coolest spots to make a visit to in Chicago.

Kelly & Brendan,

thank you for including us in such a unique and perfect night of love and good light. it was wonderful to work with you and your families. looking forward to sharing all the images with you so soon!
