Love Story: Allison and Tom’s Dream Vow Renewal

Love, Stories Documented, Wedding  //  7th December 2012

Wahooo! Today, my friends, is a day that we have been SO EXCITED about for such a long time! Ever since the day Allison asked us to be a part of her and Tom’s 10 Year Anniversary Vow Renewal, we have pretty much dreamed of being able to share their magic with you!

On a beautiful evening in September, Allison (yes, of the AMAZING Allison Barnhill Designs) and her husband Tom renewed their wedding vows surrounded by their incredible kids (Avery and Logan) and their closest family and friends. The setting was absolutely like nothing we have ever seen before and it literally had us feeling like we were living a dream! In fact, at one point I said to Allison, “I am so thankful to be a part of your dream… because you have a really beautiful way of dreaming!” ;).

Between the handmade paper flowers, the “library” with a book of stories that the guests shared about Allison and Tom, the invitations that were sculpted into real books, the ombre aisle runner made out of rose petals, the book carved with A & T (by our very own Caitlin! ;) ), (the list of AMAZINGNESS goes on and on)… One of my favorite parts of the whole evening was watching Allison and Tom dance to the final song of the night next to Avery and Logan and so many of their friends and family! There was a lot of love that went into that special day and so so so much more surrounding them on that dance floor that evening! YES, it was a dream and thankfully we have photos to share the magic with all of you!

Allison and Tom, words cannot begin to describe how grateful we are to have been there with you to celebrate your love and document this small chapter in your AMAZING love story! You are such an incredible example of love and passion and we are so grateful to call you friends! Thank you for sharing that love with us and giving us the opportunity to share that love with the world too! You are AMAZING!

Leading up to the Renewal, we joked often that Allison pulled together a “dream team” to execute the details of this special day… but it is pretty much true and we are so honored to have been a part of it! Thank you to everyone who had their hand in making Allison and Tom’s dream a reality!
