Finding a librarian's wedding venue was so much fun! The Quad Club was teh perfect setting for these two lovebirds. They are so in love, and their ceremony reflected that so well. The reading from a children's book about penguin's was perfect, and we loved their huge atlas as a guest book! We loved everything about this wedding, even though it rained all day! The rain didn't put a damper on these two cuties. It was just perfect. Congratulations, you two!

Talk about a FIERY couple (not sorry!)! Lauren and Rob met at Burning Man, and had an amazing wedding where at one point, everything was on fire. 250 of their wonderful people gathered to watch them take their vows, then everyone wrote notes and put them in a hand-carved heart-shaped box, set it on an effigy, and burned it. There were barrels of fire, fire dancers, fire carnival games...it was quite a night to remember, and a blast to be a part of! Definitely one for the record books. Congratulations, Lauren + Rob!
