WOODCLIFF LAKE HILTON WEDDING : ELISE + MIKE

Days don’t get much prettier than Elise and Mike’s.  It was early August and the sun seemed to be sparkling just for their wedding day.  After growing up in neighboring towns, Elise and Mike crossed paths for the first time when good friends introduced them.  They began their relationship while Elise was attending Boston University for undergrad and Mike was attending Boston University for graduate school.   After graduation, Mike made the decision to go to law school at Vanderbilt University, and the couple made the move to Tennessee.  It was here Mike decided to propose to Elise in her apartment!  Tears followed a very heartfelt speech, and Elise happily agreed to spend forever with the man she loved.

Elise and Mike, your Woodcliff Lake Hilton wedding was SO beautiful!  It was truly an honor to be a part of your incredible day, and I hope you are enjoying your first year of marriage.  As you one year anniversary approaches, I thought it would be fun to relive a few sweet moments from such a special day.  Get lost in all the prettiness below!

Elise’s dress from Bjiou Bridal was so lovely!  I am obsessed with the delicate lace on the back.

    The photos of Elise and Mike’s wedding are beautiful and clearly capture the many beautiful moments. Great job Amy! I really love the sneak peak pictures and the photos with the gazebo in the background. The most beautiful photo is of Elise on the grass with her bouquet.
