Liza and Eli’s Elegant Wedding at the Columbus Museum of Art
Set against the timeless backdrop of the Columbus Museum of Art, Liza Gallagher and Eli Martin’s wedding was a celebration of love, artistry, and heartfelt intention. Every moment reflected their refined yet personal vision—a day filled with emotion, understated luxury, and meaningful connection. With a color palette of black, white, gold, and soft green, their wedding exuded modern elegance while embracing the warmth of family and tradition.
Their story began long before this day, with an engagement session that took place at their family’s newly purchased farm—an intimate nod to home, heritage, and new beginnings. That same sense of belonging carried beautifully into their wedding, where every detail spoke to who they are as a couple.
The Morning and Meaningful Details

Her gown, from Volle’s Bridal & Boutique in Lake Zurich, Illinois, embodied timeless sophistication. Elegant fabric and classic structure created a striking silhouette that perfectly complemented the museum’s modern setting.
Liza and Eli shared a tender first look before the ceremony, a moment filled with both nerves and joy. They exchanged thoughtful gifts—tokens that captured their journey together and the promises they were about to make. Just before guests arrived, Liza surprised Eli with a stunning wardrobe addition – a new watch, a gift that made the moment even more memorable and reflective of their playful, loving connection.
A Ceremony Surrounded by Art and Light
The Columbus Museum of Art provided an inspired setting for their ceremony. Natural light filtered through the space, illuminating florals by Flower Bee Blooms that framed the aisle with effortless beauty.
