There was not a dry eye in the room when Hannah and Dustin spoke their vows to one another in a very intimate setting at The Warch Center at Lawrence University where they had met just few years prior. The message that day will forever be with me as it was the simplest and most true to any wedding ceremony I’ve witnessed… ‘Pay attention & keep up’.

Hannah and Dustin shared a day FILLED with so much love and laughter and so many personal touches. Hannah being an English major at the school they both studied at guided their reception decor with old books, scrabble letters and vintage typewriters. Enjoy a peek into this beautiful day.

With such stunning dresses individually chosen by each girl, one of Hannah’s must-have photos was her very own version of The Bridesmaids. Well done, wouldn’t you say!

A union of two hearts :: two cultures :: two families

For Min & Brian blending their equally unique Korean and American cultures was a platform for their wedding. The contrast of the two intertwined beautifully throughout the entire celebration. Following the traditional Christian ceremony Min & Brian swiftly donned their colorful and unique Korean dress. During the Korean ceremony it is custom to honor each of your elders by bowing to your knees and rising several times. The parents then have their opportunity to decide how many children will be in the newlywed’s future by throwing chestnuts and dates into a handkerchief – they will be having seven! We wish them luck, a big house, and a full size van!
