Loving this couple's super fun and creative first dance! We are often asked by our couples what is "normal" or "expected" for certain situations on their wedding day - and the answer is always "whatever you want"! You don't have to follow any rules, you don't have to do what everyone else does - you just have to make the day about your love and enjoy it with your friends and family!!

"We seriously did have 'the time of our lives'," the couple wrote when they uploaded the video...

When I started pulling design ideas for a bridal shoot at the largest rooftop bar in the country - the only thing that I knew I wanted was COLOR!!!! Several vendors questioned me when I said "that looks great, but can you make it more colorful!"... But looking at the photos come to life -- I am in love with every single detail!!!

Thank you to our amazing team for putting this all together and running with all my colorful visions! And to my partner in crime Lori Sapio for working to make it all happen with me!!

Check out the shoot - published today on CHI thee WED!!
