Real Weddings: Ellie + Dave Part I

What do you get when you combine the fantastic photography of Our Labor of Love with a gorgeous Atlanta reception venue, out-of-this-world DIY decor details, and the fabulous Ashley Baber pulling it all together? Why, perfection of course!

Meet Ellie and Dave:

Their color palette of soft green, brown, gold and cream is so timeless! It’s perfect for any season, too. And as much as I love the colored shoe trend, a pair of gold Manolos will always make me sigh.

Didn’t Ellis have just the cutest set of bridesmaids? The beautiful brown strapless gowns are made by Olive and were purchased at Atlanta’s Paisley Umbrella.

The time with your girlfriends before the wedding is something to be treasured. What strikes me about these photos is that Ellie looks SO happy, radiant and relaxed. Every bride should have that feeling just before their wedding!

I think I have said this before, but I heart the tilt-shift lens.

Dave’s groomsmen definitely wanted to one-up the ladies. :)

The ceremony was held at Atlanta’s Northside United Methodist Church.

I can’t put into words how much I adore this photo - these little moments are why it’s so key to have talented photographers capturing your event. The pure joy that Ellie and Dave were feeling at that moment is truly expressed in this image.

A little sneak peek of the reception and portraits, coming up a little later today!

The reception is so dreamy, you are going to love it!

‘Til then,
E.
