A Dance-Inspired Beach Elopement

“This music and dance inspired elopement was inspired by our mutual love for the arts. We wanted to focus on the simplicity of an elopement, so we chose to forgo a typical table design. For the location, we chose a discreet section of Montrose Beach in Chicago. The gown worn by the bride was a white lace top paired with a blue-gray tulle skirt and we chose a classic gray suit for the groom. The models are a real life couple as well as dancers/choreographers/actors. Because of this, I was able to photograph them doing some incredible "stunts" like the unforgettable Dirty Dancing move. Additionally, the stationery featured a vintage ballerina stamp and the pink cake included hand painted music notes and ledgers. We also found a cellist to accompany us at the beach.”

This dance-inspired beach elopement will surely fill you up with a whole lot of love.
