Little Wedding Stories

While we do a good quantity of “off site” ceremonies, not all of them are simple. They are, for the most part, usually quite sweet. This brings us to the wedding of Juan and Jessica. We met this couple on a weekend afternoon and gave them the full tour of our location. Jessica was thrilled with it all but Juan was not convinced.

The ceremony was to take place in the living room. It all sounded very cozy.

Walking into the living room, we were introduced to the most fabulous view of the city! Continue Reading »
