Once in a while we get to be a part of a friend's wedding, and it is always such a remarkable experience. I met this bride 17 years ago. Spending this day with her and watching her marry her prince charming, was one of the most rewarding days of my professional life. Laughter, tears, joy, and love, this wedding had it all. Everyone involved in this wedding will forever hold a special place in my heart. Maggie and Chris, enjoy your happily ever after!!

I like you and I love you.

killing it with the vegan and non-vegan cupcakes living in harmony. We can learn a lot from cupcakes. Also, I definitely didn't eat two when no one was looking. 😬

When the dress is from Italy, you don't sit in the broom closet. The hoop skirts don't help either, but mainly the Italy thing.

For real though. This stunning dress came all the way from Italy. And so did the bride!! Such a joy to work with Giada and Quinton. An amazingly sweet, gentle and patient couple. Definitely one for the books. Congratulazioni!!

Simplistic beauty. Pure joy. Love....and Stagg. What the groom wants the groom gets.
