The Facts
Our theme music is by Nicholas Britell and our ad music is by Build Buildings. We were edited this week by Annie-Rose Strasser, and produced by Christine Driscoll, Elizabeth Kulas, and Rikki Novetsky. Sylvie Douglis and Nick Fountain field produced at the wedding.
Thank you to Sue and Austin’s friends and family for letting us ask so many questions and bother you during the whole wedding.
