One year ago, Ellen and Jerrad met for their first date at Titletown Brewing Company. Instantly, they were connected, almost as if they knew this wasn’t just any date. This was the beginning of their forever. Many dates came after that and it was down in Madison during a Badger game that they each knew they had found “the one.”

So when they got engaged this year, they knew they didn’t want to wait to be married. So as soon as they announced their proposal to their friends and family, we secretly started planning for their big day to take place a month later! On their one year anniversary, with only their closest family by their side, Ellen and Jerrad eloped at the Green Bay Botanical Garden! It was so special and unique. After their mid-morning ceremony, they gathered at the spot of their first date for a wedding brunch. Everything felt so perfect! I loved that they got married their way.

Congratulations Ellen & Jerrad! I am so honored that I could be a part of your special day!

Perfect Fall morning at the Green Bay Botanical Garden!

The cutest ring bearers!

They had me crying too!

So happy their family could be a part of their magical day!

Ahh, I’m seriously so obsessed with these two! They are adorable and incredibly sweet!
