Lisa + Mark had an absolutely gorgeous day for a wedding back in 2012! Lisa was definitely one of the most unique brides we’ve ever had and we absolutely loved her coral dress. It was a fabulous day, and we hope marriage is treating them well!

VENUE: W HOTEL | PHOTOGRAPHY: CAMPBELL PHOTOGRAPHY STUDIOS | FLORIST: EXQUISITE DESIGNS | CAKE: ALLIANCE BAKERY 

Quite possibly the most adorable couple of ALL TIME. Michael and Thomas planned a beautiful wedding, and we absolutely loved it. M&T was the theme, and they did a "Who's the Bride?" contest, which Michael won by a landslide! And the Polaroids used for voting were priceless. Their choreographed dance with LIFTS had everyone in the room cheering, and we were just so happy to be a part of this incredible day! The staff of the W, the vendors, the couple...everything about it was just wonderful. We wish M&T a lifetime of happiness!
