I don’t even know where to begin with David and Ellen’s wedding!  Ellen and I have known each other since her freshman year in college from being on the tennis team together so it was surreal to be present on her wedding day!

As soon as I arrived at Ellen’s house I could hear laughter all the way from upstairs.  This is no surprise because Ellen is one of the most genuinely joyful people I’ve ever met.  I loved how Ellen’s dad explained during the reception that the origin of Ellen’s name means light and how that’s so perfectly fitting for her.

David and Ellen’s day was blessed from start to finish with forecasts calling for rain and there wasn’t a single drop throughout the day!  David and Ellen are so perfect together and they couldn’t stop smiling the whole day!

One highlight of their wedding day was that David wrote Ellen a song and performed it for while playing a new electric guitar.  David’s dad gifted him the guitar on one condition that he would play for Ellen on his wedding day!

Tons of flowers, lawn games, twinkly lights, laughter, and music filled their wedding day.  It was truly one of the most  most fun, laid back, and joyful weddings I’ve ever been a part of.

David and Ellen, you guys are amazing and I’m so excited for all that’s in store for your marriage.  Enjoy lots of favorite photos from their wedding day!
