    We were eager to see this railway station which is a landmark of Chicago. Featured in many Hollywood movies its very beautiful inside and huge too. Lots of dome & arch like architectural designs. Beautifully illuminated. Very well maintained. Loved to see it in real…👍🏻😍

    First time traveling by train and we traveled from Milwaukee to Chicago, with our 3 kids. It was crazy but we had so much fun. I thought it was easier traveling this way than by air. I will for sure use the railway more than air travel. Way easier, already planning our next trip.

    As a local photographer, I absolutely love working at Chicago Union Station. It’s one of the city’s most iconic architectural gems and offers a truly timeless backdrop for wedding, engagement, and portrait photography.

    The Great Hall, with its soaring 110-foot-high atrium, dramatic columns, and grand staircase, provides an unmatched elegance that feels both classic and cinematic. The natural light that streams in through the massive windows makes for perfect photo conditions throughout the day.

    The station itself is also a living piece of Chicago history, dating back to 1925, and serves as a major transportation hub for Amtrak and Metra trains. Even with all the activity, there’s a certain calmness and grandeur that makes it ideal for photo sessions.

    I always recommend it to clients who want that grand, old-world Chicago aesthetic. Just be aware that for formal or commercial photography, you may need to arrange for a permit.

    Highly recommend Union Station for anyone wanting an unforgettable Chicago backdrop!
