chicago suburb elopement

---

Michelli + Jay GOT MARRIED! Elopements are always an honor to be a part of because often times, it's just me and the couple plus an ordained minister. There is something so special about being the one trusted to capture these moments when you know that these photos are the proof of the elopement that all of their family and friends will see. It's the only thing the family gets to be a part of, so it's no pressure or anything.

Michelli reached out to me only about a month ago. When she told me the plan, I was down! It was going to be just the two of them saying "i do" downtown wheaton and the rest was photographic gold. Michelli was getting her hair done at Blush & Ivy Salon, so I floated the idea of utilizing Adam's Park across the street to make it official and YAY was that park perfection! The fall colors were in their peak and we were able to capture the joy these two shared so beautifully!

I'm so so excited to share these images and finally be able to congratulate these two publicly!

Congratulations to Michelli + Jay!
