ELLIE & ETHAN

THE MAYO HOTEL – TULSA, OK

About 5 years after meeting in high school, Ellie and Ethan met at The Mayo Hotel to recite their vows to each other and get married. As Oklahoma is their home state, they had well over 200 guests attending to cheer them on and celebrate the newlyweds.

THE VISION

Ellie’s vision for her wedding was timeless black and white, perfectly complementing the iconic hotel hosting their nuptials. As their wedding approached, the Bradford Pear trees began to blossom just in time for The French Bouquet to utilize the blossoms for the centerpieces.

GETTING READY

Surrounded by champagne, her closest friends, and the energy of upbeat music, Ellie had her hair and makeup beautifully done by the talented Drea Does Makeup & Hair. The transformation felt effortless—she was already glowing with the joy and excitement of knowing her wedding day had finally arrived.


Ethan spent the morning in a suite at The Mayo, surrounded by his closest friends and the buzz of anticipation. Dressed in sharp black suits and classic black ties, the groomsmen embodied the timeless elegance of the day, perfectly setting the tone for the sophisticated celebration ahead.

MEMORABLE MOMENTS

In downtown Tulsa, Ellie and Ethan shared an emotional first look as their bridesmaids and groomsmen watched through the windows.

THE WEDDING PARTY

After wiping away tears and sharing private vows, Ellie and Ethan joined their wedding party for some group photos. It’s not an Oklahoma wedding without a little wind, but everyone was incredibly patient, and we waited for any break in the wind we could find to get the shot.

THE CEREMONY

On a grand staircase in the lobby of The Mayo, hundreds of guests were seated and ready to celebrate the union of the future Udrisky’s.

WINDY COUPLES PORTRAITS

Amidst one of Tulsa’s windiest springs with wind speeds of 40mph+, Ellie and Ethan braved mother nature and took some of the most stunning portraits.

GOLDEN HOUR

As the sun touched the horizon, Ellie & Ethan entered their reception, welcomed by their loving guests. They slow-danced and cut the cake for everyone to enjoy.

EVENING AFFAIRS

Once the sun had set, the party began. Tons of guests joined the dance floor to celebrate Ellie and Ethan as the band started to play. The married couple even got to lead their guests in one of their favorite country sing-alongs, “Friends in Low Places” by Garth Brooks.

THE SEND-OFF

As the night’s nuptials concluded, Ellie and Ethan shared a private dance moments before a sparkler send-off.
