If you didn’t get a Tom & Jerry from during holiday season was it even holiday season?! Heidi and Dan ended our photo session with a stop at one of their favorite bars. One of the things I love about elopement is the flexibility to do things like this! Dress: Mac Duggal from Nordstrom

I saw news today that “elopements are the new trend”. We’ve been doing this for over a decade. It’s not a trend. It’s just becoming more widely accepted to choose the wedding day you want and not go into debt trying to throw a big wedding. Do what you want for your wedding day and it will be the best day ever :) Officiant : Flowers: Hair & Makeup: My dress and mikes tux are from:

My biggest pet peeve is when someone says “it’s just an elopement” or “we only need a couple photos”. Your elopement day IS your wedding day. You don’t have to make excuses for doing what you want to do or feel like it needs to be less than just because there are no guests. Go big.
I loved spending Sunday with Stacy and Jose as they said I do. From getting ready at the hotel to their ceremony and cutting a cake to roaming downtown for photos including a pro tu first dance and ending with tacos it was everything I love about elopements! Be yourselves. Do what you want for your day and it will always be the best!

The biggest challenge when eloping in Chicago? Narrowing down all the amazing photo op locations! There are so many good choices for showing off the city. In this case we only had to step outside to get this view after Laura and Alex’s ceremony at the ! Need help deciding? We are here to help with info on permits, what is best depending on the time or season and more! Officiant : Jill Brown

Happy 5 year (how?!) Anniversary to Yesenia and Elise! I’ve had the pleasure of not only capturing their wedding but also photos as they began their adoption journey, with their son and most recently of their growing family with baby #2 on the way! It’s always a joy when I get to see my couples again! Hair & Makeup :

Is it October again yet?! For those planning a 2025 elopement the fall color seems to be getting later into October /early November the last couple of years. So take that into consideration when picking dates! This particular elopement was on Halloween! Officiant : Flowers:

Happy 1st Anniversary to Liberty and Nino! This literally feels like yesterday. Where has the year gone?! Flowers: Dress: Suit: Rings:

Cheers to it FINALLY being the last day of January. A month that seemed never ending. But one of the few bright spots of the month was definitely Nikki and Nick’s microwedding at ! Such a fun day capturing their love. Venue: Officiant: Jumpsuit: Suit : Hair : Makeup: Rings: Flowers:

Still in love with everything about this elopement. October is the best month to get married. Yep I said it. You aren’t sweating to death or freezing (usually). And the light this day was perfection! Hair & Makeup:

I had the busiest December ever and I just realized I never shared these beauties! Etse and Mike said I do downtown at city hall on a chilly Saturday morning. We snuck a few photos inside before braving the cold for some festive photos at the Wrigley Building. Congrats to the newlyweds!

That winter light ✨We’re in hibernation/ editing mode over here but getting lots of requests rolling in for 2025. It’s going to be a great year! Officiant : Hair & Makeup :

Danced my way into 2025 with Kim and Bryan! They said I do at city hall before braving the cold for some outdoors photos at LaSalle Bridge. Some dresses are just meant to be twirled in!

I started 2024 at city hall and I ended it there as well! Jessi and Tony said I do on Saturday and despite it being more chaotic there than normal we had a great time! Can you believe I did 44 city hall weddings this year?! To give you and idea how wild that number is I did 42 city hall wedding total from 2020-2023! I’m not sure what happened that made it so popular, but ill@be kicking off 2025 there tomorrow so keep them coming!

Chicago really does the holidays right. I LOVE downtown in December. Lights and decorations everywhere and one of my favorites is the Wrigley building. Angelica and Rafael and I made our way there after their city hall wedding last week. It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas! Flowers : Rings: Hair: Dress and Suit:

When the is across the street from where you are getting married it only makes sense to stop for a warm mug after your I do’s. Pro tip - get there right when they open or it gets very very crowded very fast. Congrats to Heidi and Dan! Despite the cold day we had a blast hitting some favorite spots in the city.

Chloe and Jason said I do at the end of November and it was a chilly one. We are heading into winter and while the inquiries are still rolling in, it is time for my yearly reminder that Chicago is COLD in the winter. Not like it’s cute and snowy Hallmark movie cold. More like you walk outside and the air hurts your face cold. Of course it can fluctuate a bit, but we don’t do outdoor ceremonies in January and February.

And no I don’t have some magic indoor option that has a city view and requires no money to use. That’s doesn’t exist. Are there some great indoor places? Yes. Are they all going to require a fee or permit or rental? Yes. We do our best, but we aren’t magic.

I’ll still brave outdoor photos as long as it’s not dangerously cold, but you need to be bundled and ready for the cold. As one of our brides from two week ago put it “I’ve never experienced cold and wind like that”. Leggings or tights under dresses or pants are amazing. Socks and shoes or boots vs open toe shoes. Coats are a must. We are doing mini skirts and exposed legs in the winter.And yes I love snowy photos and holiday shots, but I’d also love for my couples to not end up with hypothermia :)
