Y'all, I am so stinking excited to share this lovely wedding day with you. Dustin and Ellie contacted me back in the summer of 2017 to be a part of their wedding experience, and I was so excited! Ellie is one of the most organized brides ever, and I could tell back then how excited she was to marry Dustin. I knew their wedding was going to be very well put together and full of mushy-gushy love {which is the best!!}. The two met at St. Louis College of Pharmacy where they were both earning their doctorates. After dating for a little while, Dustin popped the question, and last weekend, the two became one at a gorgeous fall ceremony.

Dustin and Ellie's day was full of tradition, and if you know me, I loved it! It takes a lot of effort to keep up family wedding traditions, but it was so special to see it all unfold. They were married at the Hidden Lake Winery in Aviston, IL. This space was absolutely perfect, and we had the absolute best fall weather. Dustin and Ellie shared their vows under a gorgeous waterfall structure. It was all sorts of dreamy, and their handwritten vows had everyone crying. Hearing the passion in their voice and listening to them speak about one another was so precious and so touching. This was without a doubt my favorite part of the day.

After the ceremony, everyone headed straight to the reception hall {which was right on site}, and we began partying! The day was Pharmacy themed, as Dustin is a doctor and Ellie will be finished soon with schooling. They also had several Star Wars quotes and decor throughout their wedding and ceremony. These two love Star Wars - they even named their dog Obie!

Take a look at all of the blissful moments throughout the day. These two are something extra sweet, and I'm so excited for them as they embark on a new adventure as Mr. + Mrs! Congrats you two!

xoxo,
