How about a fantastical theme for a wedding? Makes me feel like I’ve escaped to a fairy tale world where anything is possible!

This backdrop reminds me of the “butterflies in my tummy” but takes it to another level! Fragile watercolored paper butterflies flying around the bride and groom… takes your breath away.

If you think grey is too boring for a wedding, this board will help change that! Layers of neutral grey and textures/patterns work well together to create a very romantic ambience.

With Autumn just around the corner, we must enjoy the greens before they change! Dark greens with a warm caramel color… what’s not to love?

I always end up going back to the basics… just love the simplicity of a natural nude color theme.

A beautiful circus themed wedding! Here’s a little scoop on their day…

Sally and John have a love for good food, good music and good fun; so naturally they wanted their wedding to embody everything they love to celebrate their wonderful guests. They were married “under the big top” in a vintage circus-themed wedding rife with handmade and vintage details that brought the theme to life. Their custom-designed letterpress invitations had a perforated ticket for guests to bring for admission, where they picked up their popcorn-box programs so they could snack while they watched the bride and groom say their vows under a handmade fabric and paper backdrop [made by the bride’s family], pronounced husband and wife by a ringmaster, the groom’s cousin. Good food and good beer were enjoyed by the guests as they sat at their tables sporting vintage and handmade circus-themed centerpieces, while the swing and jazz sounds from Miss Jubilee and the Humdingers filled the air. Popcorn and Coca-Cola in glass bottles were served later in the evening, adding to the nostalgic fun feel for the day.

Ben & Kate got married under a willow tree in Grant Park, celebrating their minimalist, green, welcoming personalities with their loved ones.  You can feel so much energy and love through Ben & Kates simple ceremony.  I’m loving every detail of their wedding, from the succulents, the beautiful wedding dress, eco friendly utensils, gorgeous rings, the bridal party’s attire, down to the choice of ceremony location.  What a perfect willow tree they have chosen to start their new life together.  It shouts humble, kind, green, natural, and free in spirit.  I just love everything about this wedding.  And to capture everything about Ben & Kate, they couldn’t have gone with a better photographer than Kendra Elise Photography.  It’s like the perfect harmony of their personalities.

Ceremony: Under a beautiful willow tree in Grant Park & performed by pastor Kris McDaniel
Reception: Held at the pavilion in Grant Park, Atlanta Ga
Caterer: Home Grown
Flowers: Dekalb Farmer’s Market, arranged by me and Ben the day before the wedding. But to give credit where it’s due, so much of the vision for the bouquets and centerpieces was him. He insisted we grab the dinosaur kale and broccolini. That creative man… Oh, and the succulents hail from IKEA.
Cake: Friend of the family made them.
Wedding Planner: None
Photography: Kendra Elise Photography
Dress: BHLDN
Shoes:Urban Outfitters

Ben and I met at a church when we struck up a conversation about yoga. Soon thereafter we became fast friends. Our beginnings in a nutshell: Ben gave me drum lessons, we’d go thrifting together, attended the same community college at the time, loved to ride our bikes around the park, and became super involved with the community at our friend’s “hippie” Bible study. We were nothing more than best buds for about 6 months before dating, and then spent the first year and a half of our relationship long-distance while Ben attended MTSU in Tennessee.

We would recommend Kendra Elise Photography to anyone and everyone! Not only are Kendra and Kate two super great girls, they are incredibly talented photographers. We couldn’t be happier with them! They were wonderful to work with in every way- professional, trustworthy, flexible, punctual, and calm. Both of them have a great eye for photographs that are unique and smart. They captured our day so well. Kendra Elise Photography rules!
