If you're searching for the perfect blend of timeless elegance, personal touches, and effortless style, Elise and Jack’s wedding at The Estate Atlanta, a Legendary Events venue, is a masterclass in how to do it right. This Tuscan-inspired day brought European romance into the heart of the South—with rich emotion, style-forward fashion, and a celebration that felt as intimate as it was refined.
ITALIAN-INSPIRED WEDDING IN THE HEART OF ATLANTA
Set against the Southern grandeur of The Estate Atlanta, Elise and Jack designed a wedding that felt like a warm summer evening in the Tuscan countryside. The soft eggshell and forest green palette wove throughout the day—from the stationery to the floral details—mirroring the warmth of olive groves and limestone villas.
Elise wore a stunning basque waist gown by Varca Studio, sourced from The Sentimentalist Atlanta and expertly altered by White Orchid Bridal. Her wedding-day style was a lesson in refined versatility:– She walked into portraits in just the dress, modern and effortlessly elegant.– For the ceremony, she added a lace veil that brought softness and tradition.– And by the reception, she swapped the veil for a chic scarf, adding a fashion-forward twist that felt completely her.
Paired with flat Chanel shoes—comfortable and cute—her look moved with her through every moment, never compromising style for ease.
A CEREMONY FULL OF FEELING
Before guests took their seats, they were welcomed with a champagne tower on the lawn—a bold and celebratory way to set the tone for the day. It was unexpected, elevated, and made the entire event feel like a gathering in the Italian countryside.
Originally, Elise and Jack had planned to exchange vows outdoors, but when the weather shifted last minute, The Estate’s incredible Plan B kicked in seamlessly. The ceremony was moved inside—and honestly? It turned out gorgeous. With candlelight, classic interiors, and floral installations repurposed perfectly, the setting felt every bit as romantic and intentional as their original vision. No stress, no scramble—just a team that knew exactly how to pivot with style.
As their dog walked down the aisle to join the celebration (cue the collective “aww”), guests were already teary-eyed. But what really brought the emotions? Elise and Jack wrote love letters to each other, and asked their officiant to read them aloud. It was tender, heartfelt, and gave everyone in the room a window into their story.
There wasn’t a dry eye by the end of it.
LOVE AND LEGACY
From the champagne welcome to the heartfelt ceremony, every part of the day felt intentional. Lush greenery climbed the columns of The Estate, adding a soft Tuscan touch. Guests mingled under market lights and toasted with bubbly, all while Elise and Jack stayed fully present—laughing, dancing, soaking in every moment.
And just when guests thought the magic had peaked, Jack and his sister surprised everyone during the reception with a live performance of "Piano Man"—him on vocals and harmonica. The crowd absolutely erupted, everyone singing along, arms wrapped around each other, champagne flutes in the air. It was the kind of spontaneous, unforgettable moment that makes a wedding more than just beautiful—it makes it legendary.
A sweet bonus for our team: we had the honor of photographing Elise’s twin sister’s wedding last year, so stepping back into this circle of family and celebration was incredibly special. It’s one thing to be trusted once—it’s another to be brought back again to document another milestone. That trust means everything.
