A crowd of people are dancing and jumping.

That was my favorite email from the groom, it doesn’t even matter if you have no idea what he’s talking about. Lydia and Drew were such a joy to work with! The couple married earlier in the year at a civil ceremony but still wanted the party to share the celebration with friends and family.…
