Elyssa + Ryan | Majestic Woods | Dreamy Fall Wedding

I am a huge supporter of private vows before the ceremony. Elyssa and Ryan set such a beautiful tone for the day by taking that intentional time to connect and share their intentions going into the ceremony and their marriage.

Once they shared their vows, we walked into the ceremony location at the gorgeous newly renovated Majestic Wood where Elyssa’s grandpa officiated the ceremony. It is such a special gift to have a loved one officiate the wedding. Grandpa Robert shared stories of Elyssa’s childhood, notes of encouragement spoken over the couple, and wisdom from his 70 years of marriage!

After becoming husband and wife, we quickly snapped the remaining family portraits before heading into the cocktail hour which gave them a chance to connect with their guest. After entrances and special dances, guests were treated to a delicious sit down family style meal. After sunset portraits, we danced our way into the reception where everyone celebrated the newly married couple.

Elyssa & Ryan, you are the perfect match! I’m excited for your future together and wish you the happiest ever after.
