Sometimes, things just work out perfectly. First, I met with Emily and Ken and it had to be one of my most relaxed, easy going client meetings ever. Easy breezy, adorable. Then, when it came time to schedule the Engagement session, we talked about backdrops that they liked…as I suggest to all my couples. Architecture, waterfalls, parks, city, cafes…etc. When they suggested a garden, I immediately thought of the George Eastman House…UNTIL they asked for it NOT to be there. LOL
I’m so glad they asked for something else because it really made me research our possibilities. As I searched my mind, and Google…I came across a historical garden maintained by our Landmark Society. It just so happened that the Ellwanger Garden is only open to the public ONCE a year. AND, my weeks Wedding was on a Friday, so we could actually GO to the garden while it was open on Saturday ~ SO lucky!
If you missed it this year, make plans now to see it next year when they open it again. It’s SO beautiful, lush, and adorned with colorful blooms everywhere. Mostly Peonies!♥
I love to see what ‘accessories’ my couples decide to bring with them…it’s always a surprise for me and it’s always perfectly matched to their personalities. Look how sweet…they brought sun hats, and a classic guitar! We were serenaded in a garden! ♥
I couldn’t be happier for this super sweet couple as they plan for their Wedding day this Summer at the incredible Hurd Orchards. Have fun you two ~ can’t wait ’til the Big Day!
With Love & Happiness,
♥Sue
