So great to think back on this wedding from last summer

One of the first big decisions our groom had to make was choosing the DJ for his wedding at The Waterview in Monroe, CT. Alex has known me for many years, having seen me DJ company events in the past, so he knew what he was signing up for.I’ve been to The Waterview many times.

Happy 1st Anniversary to R + T, who also just welcomed their first bebe into the world. To date, this was one of my most rewarding weddings to pull off. R+T had a vision of a street festival type vibe, most specifically “the Easter scene in Chocolate”, and they were the kind of couple who more than deserved the wedding they envisioned. I’m so proud that I was able to pull it off for them, despite a challenging venue and family dynamics. We worked through the hiccups to make sure the couple had the best day. I remind couples all the time, that it is our job to worry about the things that WILL go wrong. This was also Dawn’s (my Ford Transit) first wedding and she handled the hills and moving chairs back and forth like a champ. Also, definitely couldn’t have done it without .thorns and who taught me the importance of having help (even if it took me the whole 2024 season to actually heed that lesson).

L+P’s wedding was the perfect way to kick off the 2024 season.

Since I’m always adding to my services in order to keep it interesting, all the signs she mentioned were new to me endeavors. I worked with pressed florals on acrylic for their Welcome Sign, real moss that I Modge Podged onto a mirror for their Seating Chart, and made my first Iron On flag for their Memorial Table.

The assistant she mentions is , who is also a new addition and I’ve been so grateful to have her on board. I can’t believe I did nearly 50 weddings all by myself.

Zuzia has also started her own content creation company .the.lens.creative, so all of my packages will include the option to add content creation on to your day.

Doing the repost thing I do, just to take some time to thank all of the awesome vendors who were a part of the styled shoot I planned and designed a few weeks ago. My focus is on C+C’s Friday wedding, but can’t wait to have the time to really go through the albums from .wallis and and show you all the amazing work by the vendors below and how 🔥 and looked.

Ellina + Conor were an absolute joy to work with. Even when we had to move their ceremony indoors because of a chance of rain ☔️, they remained calm and trusted us to make the best decision for them. They truly let go, and anyone could tell that they just wanted to be married. They released the pressure of the day having to be perfect, and so it was perfect for them.

Just your typical Thursday wedding! Olivia + Vinny, all of their guests and all the fellow vendors showed up like it was a Saturday. Such fun and totally worth the over 4 hr. drive for me :)

Melody and Felix were so in love. You could just see it. This photo may be the only time I have ever seen them not smiling. is the most perfect DIY venue for couples that want flexibility and a blank canvas to showcase their relationship and is one of those amazing what I call everywhere and nowhere kind of photographers (ya know, the ones that make you think, I didn’t even know they were here for that moment lol). Looking forward to another awesome kickoff to my 2024 season.

My new website is live!!! So excited to enter 2024 with a brand new site 🤩

Something just hits different when I’ve not only planned, but designed a wedding. There’s this higher level of accomplishment when you can SEE the actual “fruits of your labor.” When we were unable to find Olivia and Vinny the picture frame arch of their dreams, I put on my “I can do that” attitude, and built them one. Not going to lie, I’m pretty dang proud of it.

When saying goodbye to Erica + Thomas on their wedding day, Erica says, “Oh, this is kind of sad. I feel like we’ve become such friends.” To which I replied, “We are still friends!” Erica and Thomas made sure to make all of their guests and vendors feel so included and taken care of. When I mentioned that I was vegan and didn’t want to cause a fuss for her rehearsal dinner, she made sure to talk to the chef and have them make a special meal just for me. The connections I have made through this work are unimaginable. Throughout the planning process, I love learning the little things I have in common with my couples, just as much as finding the areas in which we differ. At the end of the day, I feel so grateful that I get the opportunity to celebrate love every weekend.

Some beautiful, private moments from Alexa + James wedding day. When making schedules, I always make sure to carve out some time for the couple to be alone together. It’s so important to find that time to just be and soak it all in. I tell clients all the time that the best Bulleit on the rocks I ever had was in the 10 minutes my hubs and I spent alone before our reception started. There are these moments in life where I’ve just felt that everything was how it was meant to be. They are sporadic and fleeting and rare, but one of my most memorable instances of this happened in those 10 minutes.

These are the shockingly tame moments of this wedding. Not pictured: the wedding party rolling up to the reception on ATVs, the bride and groom doing keg stands, the biggest bonfire 🔥 imaginable.

Looking back and reminiscing on all my weddings from this season. Melody + Felix kicked off 2023 with their early spring celebration surrounded by friends and family. Their day was full of love and included a mother/son TikTok dance, a pizza 🍕cutting in lieu of cake 🍰, a ramen 🍜 bar that led to the cutest recreation of everyone’s favorite scene from Lady and the Tramp 🐕, and a stellar dance party 🪩 .
