Outing Club Wedding - Ellen & Chris

Beautiful, classic and fun.  What more can you ask for really?  I knew Ellen & Chris' wedding day was going to be amazing when I first talked with Ellen back in January about the fabulous style she was envisioning for her day.  The words "Jackie O" came out of her mouth and I was doing all I could to not begin a set of cartwheels. Hellooooo classic elegance!

The girls' bright pink dresses against the white veranda added just the right bit of a modern twist on this classic location.
Ellen and Chris were going for an East Coast club feel to their wedding day and the veranda of the Outing Club was the perfect setting.  So naturally, we used just that spot for their First Look.
With a bridal party of 18 people, this outrageous group made for my 2nd biggest (and perhaps funniest!) this year.
We couldn't have hoped for much better weather as the ceremony got underway.  I loved what a simple and beautiful emphasis the white rose petals added to the aisle.
Ellen & Chris really did a wonderful job of thinking about how to integrate their style with all of the details of the day.
The party side...
The travel side...
Oh and how could I forget... the STEELERS side!

And from there, the rest, as they say, is history.  Complete with a conga line and photo booth, guests partied the night away on the dance floor.

Ellen & Chris, thank you so much for spending so much time with me as we prepared for this wonderful day.  I'm so happy we've come to know each other so well and can't wait for your future together!
