On June 3, 2023 Ellie and Damon committed their forevers to each other
It was the perfect weather in the stunning Custer, South Dakota
First looks had more than one of us in tears, first with Ellie's dad, then her two brothers, and lastly Damon
The tenderness and glory was so tangible of each of these moments and the unique relationship they all had
I have so many sweet moments to edit from all of these first looks!
Following first looks was portraits with Damon and Ellie and then bridal party photos, all nestled in pines, aspens, and breathtaking rocks as South Dakota showed off all of her spring beauty
Next was one of my favorite "spur of the moment" additions to the day: a prayer with Damon's dad and the wedding party
Shortly after was the ceremony
The weather was perfect for this intimate, outdoor ceremony
This whole day was full of sincere, simple, and impacting moments
The heartfelt vows, in which both bride and groom were 100% themselves, was one of these moments
And I have to mention: the nachos and the cake...if you were there, you know these have to have their own little spotlight
The cake was GORGEOUS with multiple layers/flavors and the nachos were the best wedding food I have ever had
The day ended with dances, a sparkler exit, and lots and lots of smiles after witnessing such a unique, perfect love story
Mr + Mrs Hartman, thank you for your trust to capture your beautiful love story
You guys have something so sincere and unique: never stop leaning into who YOU guys are and your own little spin on life
Thanks for sharing a little glimpse into your life and love with all of us!
