WONDERING WHAT A FULL-DAY CHICAGO ELOPEMENT LOOKS WONDERING WHAT A FULL-DAY CHICAGO ELOPEMENT LOOKS LIKE? What do you even do for an entire day when it’s not a traditional wedding? How do you feature the city? (Pro Tip: It’s not hitting City Hall and calling it a day.)

You’re gonna wanna 🏷️👏⭐ SAVE THIS POST FOR LATER ⭐👏🏷️ and send it to your friends! 💕

- Start by asking yourself what your PERFECT DAY TOGETHER looks like, remove ALL limits (for this exercise, humor me, do it.)
- Since this is a Chicago Elopement, ask yourself where ALL your favorite spots and activities are in Chicago. (Make a list on paper. Really!)
- Then make an itinerary that geographically makes sense (don’t worry, I help you with that part.)

⚾ Maybe you’re the super-duper Chicago-fan type, and you want to fit in a Cubs game that day. Who said you can’t do that? There are NO RULES! Can we all say this louder together for the people in the back? YOU CAN GO TO A CUBS GAME ON YOUR WEDDING DAY IN YOU WANT TO! Grab some hot dogs, couple of beers… Then you GOTTA stop my Stan’s Donuts, Garrett’s Popcorn for a snack, and have dinner at Gino’s East for a deep dish pizza (oooh, I might start a Chicago pizza war here.)

🌳 Maybe you’re the nature type, and you want a picnic at Grant Park followed by a barefoot walk along the lakeshore…

🍻 Maybe you’re the laid back type, and you want to hit your favorite neighborhood pub for a game of pool and end the night at the Navy Pier with a Ferris wheel ride and some fire works…

🍸 Maybe you want an fancier day of hitting the landmarks and a more upscale night at a downtown rooftop bar…

No matter what your style is, chances are, Chicago’s got it 🙂

There’s a been a rise in violent anti-Asian attacks since the pandemic started (https://www.npr.org/2021/03/10/975722882/the-rise-of-anti-asian-attacks-during-the-covid-19-pandemic.) I can’t imagine the fear and anxiety our brothers and sisters feel walking out the door these days, not knowing whether they’ll be the victim of a crime. How anyone can have the ignorance to act with violence and racism is beyond me. Let’s get together and support the AAPI community! 💛✊🏻✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿✊♥️

👏🏻 GET READY FOR SOME ELOPEMENT INSPO! 💍 👏🏻 GET READY FOR SOME ELOPEMENT INSPO! 💍 

This was taken in the Fijian Highlands ⛰ when I spent a month there shooting elopements with @kamacatchme. I hesitated going on this trip because of the expenditure and because well, a month away from home is a lot, but after talking with my husband about it we decided it was an opportunity I couldn’t pass up. It was September 2019. Little did I know, 6 month later COVID would hit and that opportunity would be gone for good. To this day it is one of the most memorable, life-changing experiences of my life 💛

What is one dream spot where you would elope if you could? 👇🏻 Comment below and share this with someone who needs some elopement inspiration! 💍💕
