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!

What an absolutely amazing evening! Working with Amanda and Leah was an absolute dream! They were so in love, there was a Pooh Bear costume, delicious food stations and donuts, and the weather even decided to cooperate for cocktail hour. These two knew how to throw a party! 

We were honored to witness their commitment to each other. These are truly the nights when our job doesn't feel like our job. Congratulations, Amanda and Leah! We love you!

We had so much fun with this down-to-earth, sweet pair, and know their lives together will be nothing short of extraordinary.
