The Grove Plantation-Tallahassee-Mr. & Mrs. Ellis

Whitney and Davis were married at First Presbyterian Church in downtown Tallahassee with their reception immediately following at a historic Tallahassee landmark,The Grove. There hasn’t been non-family wedding at The Grove and Whitney and David were the first. The Grove is a former Governors Mansion and sits right beside the current home of Florida’s Governor on 1st Avenue.

The property is just gorgeous for a celebration and the Smith-Ellis Wedding was a step above. What a wedding it was! From guests riding the trolley to the reception and valet to champagne handed to guests as they arrived. No detail was overlooked. It was so wonderful!

With the cocktail hour on the front lawn with a trio and the reception under a transparent tent in the back- guests truly enjoyed themselves. Uptown kept the crowd dancing all night and Whitney and David’s custom glow cups lit their way to their honeymoon.

Congrats Mr & Mrs Ellis!!

And thank you Whitney for the sweet review!

Here’s the thing about Kay that makes her the perfect wedding photographer: She’s on top of it. From our first meeting with her, she was as professional as they come and her flexibility was beyond great. We opted out of traditional bridal portraits and engagement shoot in favor of having her at more events. She shot our engagement party 8 months before the wedding and then our rehearsal dinner and the wedding day. It was great to have time to get comfortable with her. She’s also incredibly responsive. When our images from the engagement party were first burned on a CD, somehow the computer missed a few. Within an hour of notifying her, she uploaded the rest of the images to a website for us to download. She made it all easy. Her demeanor around our large, loud family was absolutely perfect. She has no problems telling people where to go, how to stand, and what to do without being abrasive or rude. On top of all of that, the images she created are beautiful. They are truly treasures we will keep forever.
