“Just have fun. Do your thing!” It was the shortest consultation phone call I’d ever had, and it seemed to be more for me than it was for them.  On the five minute phone call, Augie and Jeffery invited me to do what I wanted and have fun at the wedding! During one of the […]

What I love most about Michelle and Peter’s wedding is that it could have been no one else’s. There was no wedding planner, no caterer, no DJ (and I’m not knocking those things – we had ALL of those wonderful people at our wedding!).  For Michelle and Peter, they wanted to begin their marriage as […]
