Chicago Neighborhood Halloween Elopement – Victoria & Sam
It’s no secret that 2020 has been full of the unexpected. That said, I was so excited to hear from Victoria and Sam! Just when I thought my wedding season was over, these two asked me to capture their Halloween elopement ceremony. As I’m sure you can imagine, the answer was a resounding YES 🙂
Like so many couples, Sam and Victoria had postponed their group celebration to next year. They wanted a simple, memorable wedding day, and chose to tie the knot in their neighborhood at Gompers Park! A handful of local guests were invited to witness the ceremony (in costume, of course!). Victoria wore a vintage wedding gown from the 1930’s, and completed the ensemble with a stunning bouquet by Pollen Floral Design. Her halo-esque headpiece perfectly complemented Sam’s golden devil horns. The spirit of Halloween was among us!
After exchanging vows and jumping the broom, I had the newlyweds all to myself! We were lucky enough to visit nearby Montrose Cemetery before the ceremony, and got to explore the park together afterwards. These two were ALL smiles and up for anything! I’m so happy to have been a part of this day!!
Victoria and Sam: THANK YOU for having me capture your awesome Halloween elopement! Can’t wait to celebrate again next year!!
