These two rocked their rainy day wedding like no other. I tell ya, I must have been *really* good luck in September because for a couple weeks there it felt like it only rained on Saturday! Despite the derailment of some very well-intentioned plans, these two had an absolute ball at their wedding. And though it didn’t go exactly to plan, the result was perfectly unique and beautiful, just like them!

I started out with Elena earlier in the afternoon, as she got her makeup done. I mean, the hair, the lips, I can’t get enough.

How great is her Sara Gabriel Headpiece?!

Some last minute arrangements. :)

Back in her hotel room, Elena’s grandmother buttoned her up, I could not get enough of that gorgeous lace dress!

My wonderful friend Allana started with Olivier as he got ready back at his parents’ house.

Looking right at home in his bowtie.

Elena waited in the wings as everyone lined up in the tent for the ceremony.

Her and her father were walked to the tent with an army of umbrellas!

Everyone gathered around the dance floor.

It was a beautiful and intimate ceremony, and they were literally surrounded by their guests!

We did family formals inside, saving the best for last!

We then got to steal away for a few moments, and took some portraits on the front porch.

That dress!

Elena’s grandmother gave her the necklace on the left, a family heirloom.

Allana set up this stunning portrait with the raindrops in the background, it was really coming down!

Having the tent in the backyard of Olivier’s parents’ house made for such a lovely and intimate setting, like a fabulous house party.

The tent was beatuful and warm.

And these two were having so much fun…

…especially with the cake smash!

I spy somebody kissing in the tree…

Elena and her dad started out their father daughter dance nice and slow and then exploded into this! It was AWESOME!

And the party just kept going from there, with plenty of appearances by Olivier on the mic.

Just. so. FUN! I’m so happy that despite the craziness of the day, these two let loose, embraced the rain, danced like crazy, and enjoyed every single minute of it. Thank you Elena and Olivier for such a great day! Stay tuned for their details post y’all and see more on Facebook!
