Jenn, Barry, their family and closest friends celebrated their wedding in Cancun, Mexico last month.  We started with a beachy portrait session, continued with a Argentine steak-house rehearsal dinner and ended with a beautiful wedding.  There were 52 guests in total which meant by the end of the weekend we were all …

We know the Phillips Family can throw a party. This weekend, their adorable children got to participate, too.
