What you may not know is that this couple shares a huge passion for music.  They have traveled all over the state to see their favorite bands perform.  The band 311 even played a roll in this wedding and was a driving force for the date they chose to exchange their vows 3-11-17.  So it was only fitting for Charles to start his day off with some his favorite vinyl.

The mother of the bride saved every rose pedal from her garden for an entire year leading up to the big day just for this image.  As the newlyweds shared a kiss encircled by their loved ones everyone threw handfuls of rose pedals creating a perfect moment!

Their first dance was full of smiles, snuggles, and sweet kisses that melted our hearts.  Needless to say there were a lot of happy tears flowing at this point and soon the momentum began to shift as the night came in and the lights fired up.

Guests enjoyed a wonderful meal provided by 4 Rivers BBQ while stories of how everyone knew Elyssa and Charles were shared.  This space had a perfect balance with the splash of Tiffany blue colored up lights and the warm glow of the market lighting in and outside of the tented area as you can see for yourself!
