Real Weddings: Elise + Patrick

Elise and Patrick’s wedding truly is a “favorite” of 2009.  Jesse and Whitney from Our Labor of Love are amazing people, and on top of that, they are amazing photographers.  Their work is light and airy, colorful and artistic, honest and pure.

Elise handcrafted many of the elements for the wedding, along with her friends and family.  She created the bunting for the ceremony, the wildflower seed favors, and napkins, her grandfather performed the ceremony, signs were hand painted by the maid of honor, and family and friends created the flower arrangements.  Maps became a theme of the event, as all of the guests traveled to Portland, Maine.
