Annie + Chester – Elopement
We can’t get enough of this gorgeous elopement of Annie and Chester, simply because this is one adorable couple who wasn’t afraid to be a little (or a lot) chilly to get some pretty amazing shots around Chi-town with our fabulous Roya Jade in tow. Annie and Chester plan to have a big reception in Hong Kong later this year, but wanted to have some storybook pictures of their wedding day to show family and friends back home.
So many of these pictures have such great architectural and city skyline detail, and have a grandness about them that we just adore. Here are just a few of our faves; be sure to check out the full slideshow at http://chicago.oncelikeaspark.com!
To start, some amazing reflection shots of the bride and groom. I *think* you can even see RJ snapping a photo in the left one
How amazing is that city skyline reflection, and how cute is this couple? The answer to both? Very.
Annie has such a beautiful, bright bouquet that is such a gorgeous contrast to the city around her.
Oh, hello beautiful couple and interesting art. So nice you two could meet. In a fabulous picture.
How can you not smile looking at this series of simply precious shots? Annie in her Uggs and huge puffy down jacket…with Chester helping with her train. Amazingness
Hugs for love….and warmth. It looks darn chilly (and darn gorg!)
A stroll by the water, a few extraordinary couples shots….all in a day’s work.
But I think that after a while, Annie and Chester were happy to move inside for some elegant (and warm) shots.
And now for the “I Do’s.” How great is that series of their officiant? And what an amazing backdrop for your vows. Sigh…
Bliss immortalized.
This literally looks like it could be in a storybook. I love the natural frame the arch provides for Annie and Chester’s first kiss as man and wife
HOW PRECIOUS IS THIS?!
Annie and Chester had so much fun with their couples shots pre-vow, they couldn’t wait to do some as Mr. and Mrs.!
I shall add this one to my running list of all-time favorite OLAS shots.
Love in a library? Yes, please.
Congratulations, Annie and Chester! We couldn’t be happier that you let Roya Jade and (once like a spark) capture this amazing day in your life, and can’t wait to hear what your family thinks of your storybook wedding at your reception in Hong Kong! Keep us posted!

Michael, our (once like a spark)*california photographer shot this absolutely breathtaking elopement ceremony on the beaches of Carmel, CA.
