Kauai, Hawaii.

Billie jokes that she and Ryen have done everything backwards, up to and including marriage. The two of them met 9 years ago, had 2 children (Whitney & Maggie), and even honeymooned in Cancun before embarking on a wedding.

Billie, Ryen, Whitney, and Maggie, thank you for bringing us to Kauai and allowing us in to your lives to document this incredible day.

We have so much love for you guys!

New Year’s Eve.

Jess & Patrick pulled out all the stops for their NYE wedding including having a secret surprise location for their “second reception.” After a gorgeous ceremony and dinner at Big Red Sun guests were handed wrist bands, directed to a waiting school bus, and taken to a surprise loft party at 800 Main. Here they rung in the New Year with live music, dancing, and The Big Lebowski being screened on infinite repeat. Thank you Jess & Patrick for such an amazing day! You guys rocked our world.
