Ellen and Taylor Part Two

Part Two Celebration: July 9th 2021

We have been on this wild journey with Ellen and Taylor for over 2 years! And really, there couldn’t possibly be a better couple or group of people to revisit for a part two celebration that definitely brought down the house. It all started back in 2019 when we first met and then photographed a beautiful Fly-to-You Engagement Session in Chicago. Then after the world changed for everyone, they decided to throw a mini garden party in lieu of the big party they had originally planned. But this was no backyard tea party. We have affectionately dubbed this as their “I Do Day” and it will go down as one of the most elegant and beautiful days I have ever photographed. How on earth was this their plan b?! It was truly breathtaking and unforgettable. Now, fast forward one year and they finally get to throw the big celebration for all of their loved ones at their dream venue, The Beach Club

The weather was perfect and the company was everything I could have wished for. It was a reunion of faces from last year, all wearing the biggest smiles I’ve ever seen. When you entered The Beach Club, you were greeted by a lovely sign that read, “Finally.” That pretty much summed it up, but in parenthesis it should have also read, “but please never let the party end, ok?” I suppose we can add that in post (haha). Friends and family from near and far flooded the ballroom ready to celebrate this incredible pair. Julia LaCroix once again made jaws drop with her outstanding decor and styling. After dinner and a lovely slideshow reliving the moments from their I Do Day, the dance floor opened and the party really began. Somewhere between dips and twirls, Ellen made an elegant dress change and stepped back on the dance floor not missing a beat. We’re all so incredibly happy for both of you and thank you for letting us come along and capture your love story over the years. We can’t wait to see what the future holds and hope to meet you on the dance floor again soon.
