We'll admit- we love the details. We like helping you take care of it all. We thrive when in the thick of things ... but when we get a peek at your galleries after the day is over, we *might* get a little giddy seeing the "moments" we missed while executing the details of the day. And we get a little sad that it's over too (the wedding planning comedown is a real thing!).
