Claire & Ryan had such a beautiful wedding day in June! Check out this video highlight of their day. It really was a wonderful group of vendors to help make this day come together.

Congratulations to the Michels! 🎉

Sarah & Alex have spent a lot of time making sure their day was perfect and it truly was. Even the most organized brides can utilize day of coordination. Even if nothing goes “wrong”, there are still questions, concerns and quick thoughts can be enough to bother or panic the bride & groom.
