A different era...


You'll know why I'm calling this a different ERA when you see the images.. Jeff and Erin held their Elopement at the BEAUTIFUL Historic Elgin Hotel in Marion, KS. It was beautifully decorated to match the European style venue with a stunning courtyard for small weddings, a gorgeous stair case going up into the suites with a huge chandelier hanging down the middle! Erin wore this elegant one shoulder gown that pulled you back in time to the 1950's with a touch of modernism. Her details were simple yet stunning and she looked absolutely beautiful! Jeff was also a simple guy but still looked like the perfect groom for Erin! My favorite part of the venue was the huge windows with curtains upstairs that we used for both Jeff and Erin's individual portraits which made their gallery classic and timeless! However, my favorite part of the day was the bride and groom portraits. These two are SO in love with each other that they didn't even need much direction from me! They simply enjoyed the fact that they were finally married and was soaking in all the moments of being newly wed! Check out my favorite images of the day below!
