weddings with attitude

welcome to the first official post for the*reason!  we’re so incredibly excited to be up and running and can’t wait to show you all the fun things to come!

 

first things first

we’ve got people to thank because, well… they’re awesome.

 

the logo you see at the top of the page is brought to you by cailyn at inretrospect design.  check it out for all your designing needs.  she’s totally talented in everything she does.  The logo she created for us was exactly what we wanted and more.  thanks, cailyn!!

 

our friends at family force 5 let us use their rockin’ song on our new website.  if you’ve heard it and it doesn’t make you put your hands up, there might be something wrong with you… just sayin’.  that’s not the only song that you can dance to on their album, so check them out.  they put on the meanest live show we’ve ever been to.  seriously.  C-R-U-N-K in the U-S-A!!  

*****As a gift from us, the first 10 people to comment below will get the Family Force 5 song that’s playing on our website!!  Also, whoever hits the secret comment number will win both Family Force 5 albums from iTunes!  So…. comment!!*****

 

much love to all you [b] schoolers out there, as well as becker.  we love being a part of the community and have learned so much already.  from the friends we’ve already made to the ones we have yet to meet, we feel blessed and honored to be in this business with so many talented individuals!  thanks to annie and tobey varland of varland photography for the photo in the bio section above!
