Meet Kristen and Paul! These two decided to forgo a big wedding and elope in a private ceremony at City Hall! I was thrilled to tag along for some photos of the day. It was raining on and off so we were trying to avoid getting stuck in a total downpour!

I’ve been dying to share these images, but I had to wait until the news was out to everyone!

Here are some of my favorite images from their day…. and a bonus suprise at the end! I’m a sucker for black and white and for some reason so many of these images screaming black and white to me. Except of course for the gorgeous blue Manolo’s (yes those are the Carrie Bradshaw Sex and the City shoes!)

Kristen’s bouquet was by our talented Elope to Chicago florist Christine – http://christinejanda.com/

Photography by our Elope to Chicago photographer Becky – www.beckybrownphotography.com

Bonus surpise! They are expecting! We did this shot for them to use as a way to share the news with everyone!
