it's been a minute since i've been able to share a wedding day preview here (or anywhere!) and to be able to share this STUNNING day is such a treat and a complete joy ❤️
ELLIE & DERICK were married one week ago — 5 | 9 | 26 — in Oriental, NC with their closest friends and family. not only were the clothes, flowers, people & venue beautiful, they included so many personal twists to make the day completely unique to them. the biggest twist being the salmon they served at dinner >>> personally caught by THEM in Alaska 🙌🏻 and they served their guests themselves, along with their bridal party.
of course SHEP (doodle-pup) & FRANKIE (flower girl) completely stole the show and made the day entertaining and fun!
i am over the moon to be present on this gorgeous, sweet day and so happy for these two and their families! CONGRATS guys, what a beautiful day!!
