Maggie + Addison's Timeless Intimate Wedding

From the Bride: After spending 8 years together, Addison and I decided that we wanted our wedding day to be an intimate gathering with our closest family and friends. We had 41 guests in attendance, and every person involved in our day was someone close to us from our officiant to our band. Because we were having such a small wedding, we chose to not have a bridal party and have a sweet simple ceremony. Our reading for the ceremony was "How Falling in Love is Like Owning a Dog" by Taylor Mali and was near and dear to us because the most important thing in our life is our English Mastiff, Oscar.

We are firm believers in letting people that are great at what they do be great at what they do, and all of our vendors executed our vision beyond our wildest dreams. Shelly Fortune and her team were a dream to work with and I would relive our wedding day a million times again without changing a single thing. We used simple, but elegant touches with a neutral color palette with custom charcuterie boards branded with our initials and wedding date. The food was something to be remembered with a plated dinner of either filet mignon or halibut. We wanted our reception to feel like a group of friends gathering for dinner and passing around a bottle of wine, and Shelly and her team accomplished just that.

It is impossible for either of us to choose a favorite moment. Addison is my best friend and I cannot believe that I get to keep him forever. I have never felt joy like I did on my wedding day, and I feel so lucky that all of our friends and family were able to experience it with us.
