Carly & Theo's Wedding in Elgin


Carly & Theo told us from the start to be sure and enjoy ourselves during their wedding and reception – not often something we get told by couples. I knew from the beginning their nuptials and wedding day would be a lot of fun. Carly was all smiles, and Theo was constantly cracking jokes or making funny faces.


The one thing that stood out was when it came time for their formal photos outside, Theo was hesitant because he was ready to hit cocktail hour and enjoy himself – who could blame him?! I told him to give me fifteen minutes (ok, so it was 25), and I would have them back inside in no time. I promised. We walked down the street, knocked out some amazing photos of the two of them, and at the end of the night, he even make sure to tell me, "Thank you for putting up with my 3-year old tantrum of not wanting to do it." Theo- the wait was worth it, I promise you!


The ceremony and reception were held at the beautiful Higland Loft in Elgin. The ceremony was officiated by Officiant Pastor Dan Alarcon with members of both families in attendance. Catering was proudly offered by Your Day Your Way Events, and music by the Highland Preferred team, Corey Sanford.
