Been looking forward to this one for a LONG time…

Elyssa & Tyler aren’t just a beautiful couple on the outside – these two are truly some of the most authentic people we know, and their wedding day was a living testament to the life & love they have built together. It’s not unusual for me (Shelley/Pisces moon lol) to cry at weddings, but I found myself wiping tears all throughout the day (Elyssa’s dad’s speech got me good y’all😭)⁠. It was so evident just how loved these two are, and they took so much care into ensuring every single guest felt the love right back.

And because of the impeccable Grace Mays (with Christina Burton Events), every single detail of this day was taken care of, with the perfect timeline that was fully conducive for so many organic special moments to unfold (my personal fave… Elyssa’s surprise first look with her dad & nephews as they came off the elevator – completely unplanned, but so so perfect)

⁠We got to be there for the whole shebang, too – it’s always so fun for us getting a chance to document “the night before”! Meeting everyone before the big day and capturing all kinds of fun/laid-back candids at their Hotel Distil welcome party was simply the best way to kick off the weekend & their wedding gallery. Enjoy some of our favorites from this very special day.
