The Halloween wedding of our DREAMS. We had so much fun planning with these two amazing people, and the day was absolutely perfect. Honestly can’t believe the vows—almost poetry as they expressed their love for one another. Together with 30 of their closest friends, Ginny + Chrissy celebrated a decade-long love. After the incredible ceremony at the iconic Music Box Theater, the couple joined us over at Divining Space for a dinner of Maggiano’s and a night of horror movies. A low-key, perfect celebration for two of the best humans we’ve had the pleasure of working with.

Congratulations, you wonderful people! We wish you a lifetime of happiness!

We love a brunch wedding! What a wonderful group of people. Taylor and Jason planned their day down to the very last detail, and it came together beautifully. Production people themselves, they knew exactly how they wanted their day to go and it was flawless. Their ceremony had everyone in tears, and their talented friends and fam surrounded them all day with projections and songs and even a surprise dance from the Father of the Bride! What a joy it is to work with people like T+J. We are so lucky.

Congratulations, you two! We know you’re going to have an incredible, creative, fun life together!

When a couple chooses “5,000 Candles in the Wind (Bye, Bye, Lil’ Sebastian)” for their last dance song of the night, you know it’s going to be a good one. Rebecca and Andrew are truly wonderful people who didn’t let the threat of rain get to them! The skies made for some gorgeous photos, the roses from Flowers for Dreams were just outrageous, and their love shone all over the day. What a joy to be a part of this one. Congratulations, you two!
