Meet Jessica & Darren! They came up from Austin, TX to elope in Darren old neighborhood! Don’t let the pretty blooms and spring color fool you into thinking this was a warm day! Although it was the end of April it was maybe 48 degrees? Apparently the Texas warmth didn’t follow them to Chicago, but they toughed it out!

After their private ceremony with pink and white flowering trees as their background we roamed around the Gold Coast neighborhood with stops at some of Darren’s favorite spots. They even made it out for a quick stop by the lake even though it was freezing over there!

Congrats to the newlyweds!
