Hi, I'm ann

Sometimes we meet couples who are so sweet that we wish we could just be adopted into their families. Gwen and Tim are both writers, and from our first meeting we were just giddy with happiness to work with them. They are both kind, funny and giving on their own, but when Gwen and Tim together they have this magic. They laugh easily and often and smile constantly, their love for each other apparent and honest to everyone around.

Gwen and Tim’s Cafe Brauer wedding was just as warm and filled with personal touches as expected. The decor from Revel Decor matched their personalities perfectly. Books lined the ceremony aisle, leading to an arch of pink and gold spray-painted books! Gwen’s stunning Hayley Paige dress was an absolute dream and was one of my favorite dresses of the year.
