Mary Shannon & Aaron: The Dress

Hey everyone!

Today I'm sharing an extra special moment from Mary Shannon & Aaron's reception. To honor her grandmother and surprise her grandfather, the bride planned to change into her grandmother's wedding gown (which she had shortened) during the reception and share a dance with her grandfather. So when it was time, we stole Mary Shannon away to make the change and when she returned in her grandmother's dress the band played a song by one of her grandfather's favorite artists, Frank Sinatra, and they shared a very special dance...

Incorporating moments like this into your wedding day are what makes it truly yours. It was absolutely one of a kind and Eli Murray captured it so beautifully!

Mary Shannon & Aaron: The Reception

Hello again!

I'm back today with Mary Shannon & Aaron's reception. I think it's safe to say everyone at their wedding had a blast! The band was incredible, the dance floor was absolutely packed, the food was delicious, and hundreds of their friends and family were still there at the end of the night to send off the bride and groom. All in all, it was fabulous! Enjoy these details and moments from their reception captured by Eli Murray Photography...

Mary Shannon & Aaron: The Details

Hey everyone!

Sorry for the hiatus from blogging. I've been moving in the middle of full blown wedding season which hasn't left time for much else. But I'm back with some amazing content for you!

Mary Shannon & Aaron were married last month in Little Rock, Arkansas. Their stunning ceremony took place at the Cathedral of St. Andrew with their fabulous reception following at the Country Club of Little Rock. Every detail came together perfectly for their big day and their friends and family danced all night long. I've got a few days of posts coming, but first we'll start with the fantastic ceremony details, all captured perfectly by Eli Murray Photography. Enjoy...
