A Spring Wedding at Villa Olivia: Elaine & Allen

post filed in:

Wedding

It’s Wedding Wednesday and this couple’s wedding was truly one to remember! While there were many fun parts to Elaine & Allen’s wedding day, I wanted to share just the top three unique things that came to mind. 🙂 A Wedding Wednesday tradition.

#3. The first look that Elaine shared with her bridesmaids! We don’t always get to do this, but it was so, so worth it! Elaine, you looked absolutely stunning and your bridesmaid’s faces said it all. 🙂

#2. Tied for number two would either be Allen’s face when he first saw Elaine walk down the aisle or the sweet first dance that these two shared. I always love when couples coordinate a few moves and these two rocked it!

#1. The couple’s main entrance. 🙂 With a nod to Allen’s heritage, the couple made their grand entrance. Allen with a decorative cane known as a kopala and Elaine with a decorative handkerchief known as a yalekhta. The two were surrounded by family and friends, many of them also dancing with decorative handkerchiefs as they entered, cut their cake, and then proceeded to dance with everyone on the dance floor! It was uniquely them and truly special. 🙂

Elaine & Allen, thank you so much for having us. I loved getting to capture all the excitement of your wedding day and I’m really excited about the shots that we got!

Now, grab a blanket and snuggle up. Your sneak peek is live!
