Austin + Dave are such lovely people, and we were so happy to have been a part of their day! Frost and Revel turned the Chicago Illuminating Company into a wedding DREAM for them, and they were just so in love it was hard not to tear up during the beautiful ceremony. Time Chicago ROCKED the dance floor all night, and everyone had a blast. The love in the room was overflowing for these two wonderful people, and every element of the day -- from the perfect weather, to the sweetest first dance -- combined to make it one for the record books.

Congratulations, you two! We know you're going to have an incredible life together!

Such wonderful people. Such incredible weather. And that DRESS. Kristen and Brian got married in June on the most beautiful day surrounded by their closest friends and relatives. It was such a relaxed, happy time, and their little touches from Up were so incredibly sweet. We loved the simple flowers and gorgeous neutrals, but most of all, we loved getting to be a part of this beautiful couple's love story. Congratulations, you two! We know you'll have a lifetime of adventures together!
