4. The Rookery Staircase
WHERE: Inside of the Rookery Building (209 S LaSalle)
PROOF: Here
WHY: It’s more exclusive. The only way you can take photos here is if you have your wedding at the Rookery (which we think is a pretty sweet deal). In fact, many of our Rookery clients have actually booked the space because of this shot.
