And big thanks to the wonderful Brenda Swann of Swann Soirees for being the fabulous coordinator she is! Couldn’t have done it without you! xoxo

I love this shot Mandi got – Brad looks so “Godfather” in the limo!

I have to stop here for a little shout out to my buddy Jon at Elite Image Limousine!  Its very rare that a bride (ahem Verdette) books her limo BEFORE her other vendors.  But in this case, I am so glad she did – Jon referred her to me and Brenda!  I love Jon, he is the TOP in the transportation industry for sure!  Call him for your limo needs!

Love the football theme they had for the Reception at the Turf Club!  Brad is from Wisconsin which explains the Green Bay thing :)
