Meet Elaine & Brendan! They came all the way from Ireland to get married in Chicago and we were very happy to be a part of their elopement!

We got lucky that some of the fall leaves held out just long enough for their elopement (literally days later the trees were bare!). We met in the park near the Drake for their ceremony. The sun was perfectly peaking over the buildings as they said I do! After some photos we walked over to the lake. Thanks to it being November and a bit chilly we had the place to ourselves! It’s a good thing that Elaine had her gorgeous fur jacket and new hubby to keep her warm and snuggly!

A final stop at LaSalle Bridge left us very cold and searching for warmth. So naturally we ended our shoot with tea and coffee to warm up!

Congrats to the newlyweds and thank you for letting our Elope to Chicago team be a part of your day!
