It’s a LOVELY Day to talk about LUNA!!!

From the moment we walked into Luna’s house and she didn’t even bark at us, we knew it was going to be a goooood day… and it was 🥹

Luna was the sweetest girl and best listener, and she ✨killed it✨ at her job of es**rting her newlywed parents in their recessional (even though she went a little off script while going TO the altar 😆). We seriously loved every minute of our five hours with Luna and had a hard time telling her bye!

Congratulations Seiberts 🤎🐶

Let’s hear it for cutie Kal! 🐾

The sweet fluffy guy was such a joy to spend the day with, and so were his parents! Their wedding day was absolutely stunning, and the joy on everyone’s faces when Kal showed up was contagious! Kal was their special es**rt down the aisle which was so much fun to see and there are no doubts that Kal and his parents are loved by so many.

Thank you so much to for these beautiful photos and thank you to the Seckmans for letting us be a part of their important day. We will never forget it!!! 🤎

Monday is for Millie! 🌸

This wedding was special for so many reasons: the bride is a college friend, the wedding was at my alma mater, the bride’s brother raised butterflies to be released at the ceremony in honor of both the bride’s and groom’s late fathers, and Mr. Bow Wow Vows was unable to attend this one, so Bestie Bow Wow Vows stepped in!

Despite Millie not wanting anything to do with us (🤣) at the beginning of the day, we eventually became friends and she let her guard down. She was the sweetest little package to carry around all day and she was constantly smiling with that little tongue out!

This was truly a beautiful wedding day with so many sentimental touches and we were absolutely honored to be part of it. Wishing lots of love and happiness to Millie and her parents! 🐾🦋

Sweet, energetic, tennis-ball loving Rex 🥰

Our day with Rex went by way too fast!!! He was the best boy in the car, sat perfectly for pictures, and played tennis ball fetch like it’s nobody’s business! His parents even gifted us a whole bag of tennis balls because Rex has so many. How kind was that?! They will definitely be put to good use!

We absolutely loved the way Rex’s parents included him in their day and how friendly he was to everyone. We will never ever forget Rex and his cute freckled tongue — congratulations Shackletons! 🤍

DEWEY! DEWEY! DEWEY! What a beautiful and fun day we had with Dewey and his parents at !

When we say Dewey is one of, if not THE funniest dog we’ve ever met, that’s not a joke. He kept us laughing all day long — including when he sprawled out on the floor to eat his frozen treat, played “hide and seek” with us, and did tricks for string cheese 🧀 We hope Dewey and his parents are loving married life and we were so honored to be part of their day!!!

We love you, Dewey! 🐾

J A K E 🥹

Jake’s mom booked us at the The Elegant Wedding Expo back in February. Immediately upon meeting, we knew we’d love Jake’s family! When we got to Jake’s house to see him and get him ready for pictures, Katie Bellitto had put out some of our favorite snacks and drinks for us to enjoy while we hung with little Jakers — SO kind of her!

It would be remiss of us not to mention how near and dear senior dogs are to our hearts, and Jake the old man really filled our cups! We felt so lucky to be able to hang out with him and take him to his family for his big photo appearance. You can tell that Katie, her new husband, and her parents care for Jake like he’s a true family member (because he is!) and those are our kinds of people. 🤎

We love you so much Jake, Katie, & fam! 🐶🫶🏼

BEAR’S BIG DAY 🐾

Oh what a sweet boy!!! To say we had a fun and easy day with Bear would be a giant understatement. He was so full of energy, a great listener, had such funny quirks, and is SO cute cute cutie!! His big, panting tongue really made us smile. 🤪

If you look closely at his bandana, you’ll notice that Bear has a special announcement: Promoted to Big Brother!!! Not only did we have the best day celebrating Bear’s parents, we also got to be in on the secret that he’s got a little sister joining the family in March! We truly cannot explain what an absolute and utter privilege it was to be included in this announcement and to be keepers of the most exciting secret. 🤰🏼

We’re so excited for Bear and his parents for a very exciting year ahead and a PERFECT wedding day! Thank you to the Von Lankens for letting us be a small part of it. 🤎🐶🐾

We loved everything about Calvin & Posie’s big day! 💒

Posie is the picture paw-fect, prim and proper big sister, while Calvin is the crazy, run around like a fun little psycho, bark-at-everything-even-though-I-weigh-two-pounds little brother. (We think that’s a truly dynamic duo!) We had so much fun playing with them at home, exploring their backyard, riding in the car to see mom & dad looking so fancy, and sniffing around the family farm for more beautiful photos.

Congratulations to the Oberts and thank you for letting us take care of your little loves on your happiest day! The privilege is not lost on us. 🥰🐾🐶
