Taylor and Chris brought my wedding season home with a freaking explosion of hometown, homegrown, backyarded epicness that quite literally cannot be matched.  ‘Twas a send-off to finalize a phenomenal year of friends, fun, festivities and the occasional foto-graph [ B/c F’s ]

So, this dauntless duo works for and helps to run one of our favorite caterers, A Taste of Excellence right here in town.  Needless to say, they’re also premiere, scrumptious, and desirable.  Yeah.  I went there. When Chris proposed to Taylor, she was already so set on us she pretty much called me on the drive home to make sure we were available.  I was, and I was honored.  It’s an entirely new level of awesome when not only our clients recommend/use us, but also the vendor community that surrounds us.  Honored.  Absolutely honored.

Shout out to Lindsay London’s hand!  My favorite make-up artist in the city 😀

Taylor-a-la-Chris.  I’ve no words or actions to repay you.  All I have are some bright flashes of memory, no regretz, and a brand spanking new knowledge of the country that I want to expound upon.  Thanks for showing me how to party recklessly, love heartily, and entertain amazingly all in the same sitting 🙂  You two have a gift.
