There's a story behind every couple, and Dee Dee and Peter's story is no exception. It's full of love, loss, hope, and beauty. In her first email to us (we hadn't even met or talked yet), Dee Dee shared their story with us. In the end she wrote: "From the moment I met Peter I knew I was 'done'… I truly understand now when people say 'you just know.' I get it. We are looking to create an evening filled with love, uniqueness, and happiness."  

Seriously. Amazing. Dee Dee and Peter, it was a magical day.

/ 01  Porter Airlines. Flying isn't fun... unless you are flying with these guys. Highly recommended for your next trip up north.

/ 02  Modern Family. What have we been doing on Wednesday nights? Laughing. "Phil Dunphy, yo!"

/ 03  Drops Like Stars. A book that looks fantastic on the coffee table, but it's much more than that.

/ 04  A Serious Man. One of the best Coen Brothers movies ever made? We think so.

/ 05  Queensberry. Our favorite album company has rebranded. They make some of the best books we have ever seen.

/ 06  I Know How To Cook. The Bible of French home cooking.

/ 07  Monocle. One of the few magazines we read cover to cover. It's that good.

/ 08  Big Star, Chicago, IL. Tacos and Whiskey. How can you go wrong?

/ 09  Savannah, GA. The entire city. A few highlights of our recent trip included: Forsyth Park, bourbon bread pudding from Back in the Day Bakery, Zunzi's, fresh seafood, and good old fashioned Southern hospitality.

Words cannot describe how blessed we feel to have amazing clients, to be able to travel all over the world, and to work together... creating art. Thank you to our wonderful couples who constantly inspire us. Documenting one of the biggest days in their lives is an honor. Thank you to our families for their love, and to our dear friends for their constant support. We look forward to this new year with hope and excitement... to the endless possibilities and changes to come.
