What a day for Gillian and Jake at the stunning Fernwood Botanical Gardens! Despite the rain and last-minute changes, their wedding turned out to be incredibly beautiful.

The decor? Absolutely unique and so very 'them' – fresh vegetables as centerpieces! Who would have thought? But trust us, it looked amazing and added such a vibrant, earthy feel to the setting.

Their day was laid-back and full of fun. It's not every day you see a couple embrace the unexpected with such grace and joy. Gillian and Jake's love and laughter made even the rain seem magical.

Here's to a couple who showed us that a little rain can't dampen true love.

What an awesome planning journey it was with Kelli and Michael, leading up to their incredible wedding day at New Vintage Place! From the planning stages to the big day, working with them was nothing but a joy. Their easy-going nature and fun-loving personalities made every moment memorable.

The wedding day was nothing short of perfect. The atmosphere was filled with fun and laughter, truly reflecting the amazing couple that Kelli and Michael are.

They had this awesome idea for their es**rt cards: personalized luggage tags! It was the perfect touch for a couple from Florida, welcoming their guests who traveled from all over to be in attendance for these two. Such a unique and thoughtful detail!

We're already missing these two and can't help but wish them a lifetime of happiness and love-filled adventures. Kelli and Michael, may your marriage be as joyful and heartwarming as your wedding day!

An unforgettable day at Michillinda Lodge for Manuel and Hannah’s wedding! The backdrop of the lodge was absolutely breathtaking - a perfect setting for a perfect day.

The decor was a sight to behold: stunning china set on each table, paired with the most beautiful floral arrangements. It was like stepping into a fairytale, truly.

And can we talk about their dog? Dressed to the nine in the fanciest wedding attire, completely stealing everyone's hearts!

Cheers to a wedding filled with love, laughter, and cherished moments!

One of the most heartwarming touches of Claire and Will's wedding was the use of wine bottles as table numbers. Each bottle was carefully chosen by couples who hold a special place in their hearts, making every table a tribute to the love that surrounds them. It was a beautiful reminder that love and support from friends and family are the perfect ingredients for a strong and lasting marriage!

Also peep how ABSOLUTELY beautiful this couple is! 😍😍

Ashley and Joel entrusted us with the incredible privilege of bringing their dream wedding to life, and it was a day filled with love, laughter, and one very special guest: their four-legged family member!!
