Where to Elope in Champaign, Illinois

I photograph a lot of wedding ceremonies and engagement sessions — 35 a year o.O — and that means I get to see a lot of cool places that would be perfect for a wedding ceremony. Sometimes these are well known spots, and other times they are off the beaten path.

Elopements are great because you can go anywhere you like. Choose a location that is special to the two of you or find a beautiful spot just big enough to exchange vows. If you are thinking about eloping follow this blog series to get some great elopement location ideas!

In this installment of “Where to Elope in…” I’m going to introduce you to Allerton Park. It actually offers a full Wedding Venue too, but you can certainly grab a pass to just use the park for your elopement. And boy, what a park! I didn’t even know this place existed until wedding couple last year took me here for their engagement photos. The grounds at this park are pretty amazing. I definitely recommend spending a day here to see take a long walk and see all of the possibilities <3

Whether or not you choose to have a big wedding or a small wedding, I would love to document your day. Many opt to elope on a weekday which means discounts from many of your vendors (me included). Send me a message if you are interested. I’d love to help you plan your perfect wedding ceremony in any way that I can :)
