What a perfect pair. We absolutely loved Meryl and Dave's wedding! The gorgeous neutrals, the packed dance floor, and if this bride isn't channeling Audrey Hepburn, right? We knew this was going to be an excellent wedding the second we met these two! They knew how to let go, relax, talk to their people, and let us do all the work. It was a wonderful start to what we know will be a wonderful life together. Congratulations, Meryl + Dave!

The Doctors Breen are an impressive pair! Incredibly smart, kind, capable, and of course, gorgeous! We were thrilled to be a part of their day, and even though it was one of the hottest days of the year, they beamed at each other constantly and danced the night away! 

We couldn't be happier for these two -- dream clients, amazing wedding, and wonderful memories. Steven Rosenberg did an excellent job capturing the colorful dresses and florals and giant smiles on everyone's faces! Congratulations, Lauren & Mike!

Planning with these two unbelievably brilliant, and unbelievably beautiful, people was a joy. We love when a couple knows exactly what they want! Their detailed vision came to life on a gorgeous summer day on the Northwestern campus, and just look at those radiant smiles. A sweet, touching ceremony followed by songs and toasts from their friends and family, followed by dancing and laughter made this a wonderful day. 

We wish this truly striking, special couple a lifetime of success and happiness together.
