Happy Anniversary Larissa + Richard

Happy tenth anniversary to Larissa & Richard! They had a beautiful ceremony and reception at a lakeside winery. The bride's father played the flute for her walk down the aisle and it was so beautiful! I learned so much about the Brazilian culture while working with this wedding because Larissa had ideas to incorporate her heritage in so many ways! The wedding favors were Havainas (Brazilian flip flops) with a tag explaining them and their culture. Everyone wore them for dancing! Ten years later I still have mine and still wear them! So comfy!! It was a truly beautiful occasion and such a loving family to work with! Happy anniversary y'all! Cheers to many, many more!

Happy Anniversary Emily + Kevin

Happy tenth anniversary to Emily & Kevin! I still remember this wedding so vividly! The color palette in shades of purple was absolutely gorgeous (purple is always my personal fave!), the scent of lilacs wafted through the air as you entered the reception, and Emily's iris bouquet is still one of my favorites by far! It was such a wonderful evening, and such a fun and gracious group to work with! Happy anniversary y'all! Cheers to many, many more!
