THE HOPKINS WEDDING
In 2020, I photographed Ellese and Brandon's backyard COVID wedding. They rescheduled their large wedding at the Meekermark one year later! A couple months before their large wedding in 2021, Ellese found out she was pregnant! They had the fantastic idea to find at the gender, at the END OF THEIR CEREMONY. They enlisted Brandon's sister Abby, to be the only one to know the gender, to order the canons, to paint them all so no one would know it was a gender reveal! After their kiss, their officiant began explaining the canons under everyone's chairs, this is when Ellese's mom's canon went off! Ellese and Brandon still found out what they were having before anyone else, because it just so happened, Ellese's colors were blue and most people thought the canons were just sticking to the color palette! It was the sweetest moment.
