Ciara and Chris’s love story began through their shared passion for the environment. With Ciara’s Irish heritage and Chris’s deep connection to nature, it was only fitting they chose to marry in the Redwood Grove at UC Berkeley Botanical Gardens, surrounded by towering trees.

To the envy of many, Billy was able to unearth the secrets to finding a soulmate in easy-to-follow steps (granted, they were steps he created).

I worked the same shifts for a long time, so we all got to know each other really well. My friend Molly told me…

I’ll come clean, I swiped that title straight from Michelle’s IG page. I had to, can you think of a more perfect title to their page?! When Michelle, who happens to be one of our day-of assistants, asked us to help with their wedding at San Francisco’s Westin St. Francis, “of course” was the only…

 A few days after Andrew and Brian’s wedding, I received a really nice note from the couple.
