Elizabeth & Wilson’s wedding day at The President Hotel was about as timeless and elegant as you can get! (But don’t worry, they sprinkled in tons of fun too 🙂 )
Elizabeth’s wanted the day to be filled with elegant touches wrapped in a soft neutral palette. She got ready in her parents’ home, which is such a special touch, too! After a tearful first look with her father, Elizabeth’s crew headed to Village Presbyterian for the ceremony.
These lovebirds opted out of a first look (another nod to tradition!) and saved this special moment for the aisle 🙂 After family portraits in the sanctuary, E&W enjoyed their grand exit from the church before heading to the Nelson for portraits! This spot is one of Elizabeth & Wilson’s favorites in the city! They even had their engagement photos captured here. But I like to think their wedding day photos in this same spot will feel even more special. We made sure to send the wedding party back onto the party bus after group portraits so Elizabeth & Wilson could enjoy as much time together as possible on their wedding day.
After portraits, we headed downtown to The President Hotel so E&W could join their guests for their reception! Elizabeth’s sisters (all co-Maid of Honors) shared a special toast before it was time to party! KC Flo kept the dance floor hopping all night long.
Elizabeth & Wilson now share FIVE sisters! (Elizabeth has three and Wilson has two) These siblings and their families are all incredibly close, and it was beautiful to capture these two families coming together at long last. At the reception, Wilson’s sisters even surprised their father with his own dance during Wilson’s dance with his mother!
Cheers to the newest newlyweds!
