Ellie+Nathan-Lichterman Nature Center Wedding

Consider yourself lucky, no blessed, if you are to ever come into contact with this amazing couple.

I’m embarrassed to say this gorgeous wedding took place last October…..Yes, you read that correctly almost exactly a year ago. There have been so many times I’ve said “I’m going to blog Ellie’s wedding today.” and then John would remind of the ten weddings we have in the doc just waiting to be edited. I finally put my foot down and said “today is the day.” I loved culling back through these and reliving the day.

Ellie and Nathan are so special to us. In fact, both John and I feel guilty that we didn’t get to spend more time with them then we did before they moved off to Kansas City. That city has no idea how lucky they are to have them. Ellie and Nathan are unique, comical, attractive,(obviously) generous, and intentional. They have been together for nearly a decade, and they decided to have a quaint, intimate wedding with just their closest friends and family. They had a Kinfolk style reception with long tables that were lined with quirky gold painted dinosaurs, rosemary infused olive oil that Ellie made herself, and boxes of some of the most stunning florals I’ve ever seen. (That Michael Doyle of Lynn Doyle Flowers really knows what he’s doing.) Nathan is quite the handyman, he was working diligently to hang the most beautiful Italian strung lights from side to side in the pavilion, as well as the diy marquee lights he made himself. Together, both Ellie and Nathan made their dream wedding possible, and we are still giddy over the fact that they asked US to capture such special memories. Both Ellie and Nathan strayed from traditions without meaning, and made their day mirror the amazing people they are. The chuppah was made from trees Ellie used to play under as a child. They prioritized their day around bride and groom portraits because that’s what was most important to them. Because of that, we were able to take full advantage over the grounds at Lichterman.

We were lucky enough to work alongside some of Memphis’ VERY best wedding vendors; VMWeddings Studio, Emily Cohen McElhaney, Kasey Acuff, Lynn Doyle Flowers, The Barefoot Bride, Rock’n Dough Pizza Company, and Deep Blu Entertainment.

Ellie and Nathan, we love and appreciate you both so much, and cannot wait to see what wonderful adventures marriage will take you on!

Enjoy!
