Meet Melissa and Peter! And their daughter Grace! We had an absolutely gorgeous fall day for their riverwalk elopement.

I met them at their hotel for first look before meeting up with Peter’s cousin, who preformed the ceremony. I’m not going to lie, I teared up during this ceremony. Thankfully I have my camera to hide behind! Their vows were amazing and as part of the ceremony Peter gave Grace a necklace with an N on it to solidify their commitment as a family.

After some photos along the riverwalk we had to wait out a few minutes of rain and then it was off to Millennium Park for some shot at Lurie Garden and the Bean.

A big thank you to the newlyweds for allowing the Elope to Chicago team to be a part of your wedding day!
