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!

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!

Literally two of the most perfect humans on the planet. We had such a good time with these two genuine, kind-hearted, organized people. We loved every minute of their day, from the sweetest first look, to the gorgeous ceremony, to the dance floor that was boppin’ all night. We just know these two are going to have the best lives together. They are surrounded by wonderful people, and they couldn’t be more wonderful themselves. One for the record books.

Congratulations, Courtney + Matt! We love you!

What. A. Night. These two are so special. Cody + Stephanie love to salsa dance and have the cutest cat ever, named Zeke. Not only are they kind and generous, they are so down-to-earth, and they know how to party! When a couple is surrounded by family and friends as wonderful as theirs, you know they’re good people. From the gorgeous ceremony, to the salsa lesson, to the rockin’ dance floor, we loved being a part of Steph + Cody’s day.

Congratulations, kids! We adore you!
