Chamapign County Courthouse Wedding // Champaign - Urbana, IL // Jordan & Ian

Elopements aren’t just for the mountains anymore. 😁

On this perfectly gloomy day, Jordan and Ian made the quick trip down the street to the courthouse in Champaign County.

With their daughter, Rory, along as well as a parent for each of them, they were married in a 5 minute ceremony and it was perfect!

Jordan and I arrived at the courthouse where Ian was waiting out front to get his first look at his beautiful bride!

We quickly scurried inside where it was warm and made our journey through the courthouse.

A quick check in before waiting for the judge to call them in.

While we waited for the others to get married, we used this beautiful hallway space for lots and lots of pictures. 😍

And then it was time. ❀️

And just like that, in the eyes of the state, Jordan and Ian were married! Now it was time to departure the crew and let Jordan and Ian have their moments together.

First stop, Japan House in Urbana, IL to exchange vows.

These two humans. I could barely hear them exchanging their vows, which made it even more intimate, but I could just feel the emotions each of them was presenting to each other. So beautiful. πŸ₯Ή

Then lots of physical love shared to compliment the emotional love they had exchanged.

Snuggles followed by a dance party! πŸ₯³

Running to warm up and to get photos outside done. πŸ˜‚

Next stop, See You CD & Vinyl in Urbana, IL. None of us had been here before and we all loved it! Jordan wanted some record shop vibes and I was into it.

The record store was in the back of Cafeteria & Company coffee shop, which was so perfect since Jordan is a coffee-holic and it was covered in plants which just brings us back into nature. 🌱

Jordan got some coffee to warm up and we braved the cold once more to showcase these two walking into married life 😍 After this, we stayed inside at Big Groove Tavern and Punch in the Hyatt Hotel. ❀️

Being able to hang out with Jordan and Ian like this was my favorite part of the day. We got to chat and learn more about each other and we got to celebrate, which is always my favorite thing! And the two of them got to just soak up each others awesomeness and just be together. So beautiful and so happy and so thankful that I got to be a part of their day and capture their love. πŸ₯° 🀩 πŸ’• 😍
