One year ago today we witnessed Aubree & Elliot say “I do” in these woods! It’s so crazy how fast time flies, it feels just yesterday we were back at this magical venue Burlap and Bells, driving past the the 1,000 paper cranes adorning the pine tree grove where they’d soon say “I do”, Aubree getting zipped into her flowy Rue de Seine gown, and the groomsmen arriving in their forest green attire. Before the ceremony, Aubree & Elliot had the sweetest first look with one another in the vine chapel tucked away, sharing their letters they had written to one another. They were completely in this moment, unafraid to let the emotions of the day be felt. My favorite moment of their day. After a sweet ceremony in the pines, they planned for such a fun evening for their guests – including a caricature artist, an “Aubree & Elliot” themed coloring book for the kids, cornhole and dinner served from an airstream “food truck”!

And I can’t not mention how they met “in studio” while studying architecture at UW Milwaukee (in studio = where architecture students spend 100% of their time!) Aubree was celebrating her 21’st bday in studio which was the most perfect time for her and Elliot to finally connect – they realized they shared the same birthday! The next several months Elliot pursued Aubree, and Aubree came to realize how committed this guy **really was!!** and also how much he started to mean to her. They really understood the meaning of love when Elliot moved to Madison and Aubree moved to NYC. Missing that day-to-day connection, they both decided to drop their individual dreams and create a new one together, living the romantic city life in Seattle. Close to the many things they love to do and always having something new to explore whether it be restaurants, coffee shops, markets, or the mountains.

Congrats Aubree & Elliot on ONE YEAR of marriage! Here are some favorites from their wedding day! <33
