I haven't posted a "Thought of the Day" in a while and after a consult yesterday evening with a couple that's getting married in 2025 I thought this would be a perfect opportunity.

We met via zoom, and as we spoke and I asked several questions of them about how they met, what drew them to each other, how do their values align, and what they enjoy doing together - at one point I stopped them and said "Thank You" for their authenticity.

Authenticity means that you are true to your own personality, values, and spirit, regardless of the pressure that you're under to act otherwise.
You're honest with yourself and with others, and you take responsibility for your mistakes. Your values, ideals, and actions align - you're bringing your whole self to the table.

When I'm speaking with couples I'm not outwardly asking them to be authentic, but they are because they want me to see that authenticity just as I want them to see mine - I want them to feel comfortable. And I told this couple just that.

When I'm meeting with a new couple I'm a stranger to them, but if you know me you know that I don't like being strangers for more than maybe 10 seconds (LOL!) and would rather showcase my authenticity right away so they know that they can feel comfortable showcasing there's.

What do you feel when you look at this photograph?

My first feeling is pure, unfiltered, happiness.

This is Rebecca and she married her best friend.

Couples often choose to do a first look, but Rebecca & Nicholas did not. They wanted to experience all the feelings leading up to the moment when they would see each other for the first time as she walked down the aisle.

Now, let me preface that there's no right or wrong, but the question that I will ask is what do you want "this" moment to feel like, look like, for you?

In my everyday life I speak A LOT about experiences as experiences stand much higher on my list than any possession or item that I could own. Experiences are so much more powerful for me, and the memories last forever.

As we approach engagement season, and couples start planning their big day ask yourself; what kind of experience do you want it to be like for you - from the moment you start searching for vendors/venues, to the moment where Rebecca is standing in this picture, and all that came next?

Engagement season is almost here!!!

Did you know that "peak" engagement season runs from late Fall through early Winter; with the Holidays that fall within it being popular dates for proposals - Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve/Day, New Years Eve/Day, and Valentines.

When I first meet with a prospective couple one of the first questions that I ask them..."How did you get engaged?"

Well, this always brings an immediate smile to the couples face as they begin to tell the story and reminisce back to that day. So much excitement, love, happiness, connection.

I couldn't love hearing their stories more as each one is unique, and almost always ends with the couple saying; "It was perfect because it represented us."

I would love to hear your engagement story.

Let's connect!

What a beautiful afternoon for a walk.

It feels nice to have a little “down time” after a fun-filled, Fall wedding season. I love walking and try to get out every day.

What do you enjoy doing in your “down time”?

Recently I came across a question that was posted in an online forum in which a bride was inquiring about appropriate tipping for wedding vendors.

For me a tip is always appreciated, but by no means ever required; nor do I ever expect one.

If you ask me what the greatest tip you could ever gift me would be...it wouldn't be monetary, but rather a glowing, five-star review of my services (5-star worthy of course).
A 5-star review can go far when it comes to the growth of a business.

For my wedding vendor friends out there...wouldn't you agree?

My last wedding of the 2024 wedding season was yesterday at the , and I couldn't have imagined a more perfect ending to an absolutely amazing season.

Nicholas & Jacquelyn couldn't have been more ready to celebrate their love, and their family & friends were just as ready to celebrate the two of them.

It was truly unforgettable.

Congratulations Jacquelyn & Nicholas - let the adventure begin!!! 🍾

It’s time to celebrate like it’s 2024!

Happy 2 Year Anniversary Chevagne & Brian!!!

It seems like just yesterday we were celebrating your love ♥️

11/05/2024

When I first met with Lisa & Richard one of the first things they mentioned was that they were getting married on Election Day; and my response…”PERFECT! I’m interested in celebrating moments that bring people together, versus creating a divide.”

And this afternoon was just that…bringing two beautiful people together in marriage; with just a few of us as witnesses to a truly unforgettable moment.

The energy in the room was so real, so full of love, so warm, so inviting. To be one of the few to witness it was something I’ll never forget.

They’ve known each other for what seems like their entire lives, having dated in high school and college, but then going their separate ways before reconnecting a couple of years ago.

And this is how their ceremony began…

“I’m a very strong believer that whoever is meant to be in your life will always gravitate back towards you, regardless of how far they wander.”

And today I witnessed that belief before my very eyes.

Congratulations Lisa & Richard! 🍾

Yesterday couldn’t have been more fun celebrating Emily & Joel.

I think our photo shoot showcased it just a little. We may have had to do a few takes, but I think we ended with a great picture 📷

Congratulations Emily & Joel!!! 🍾

I couldn’t be more excited for you, and all that’s yet to come as you start this new chapter in your lives ♥️

Any guesses on where in Troy, NY today’s ceremony is?

(And yes, don’t think I didn’t see that blue orb on my dress - perfect timing 💙)

What a fun afternoon this was in Congress Park ♥️

What a beautiful Halloween morning to overlook Lake George and celebrate Chloe & Alixander as they said; “I do!”

They’ve known each other since pre-school, but their journey together began as adults and lead them to this moment; with their closest family sharing in the moment (along with their two fur babies 🐶)

Congratulations Chloe & Alixander on the start of an amazing adventure! 🍾

For Crystal & Ryan humor is such a big part of their life, part of who they are as a couple - for them laughter is like breathing.

And today, it was shining bright in such an AWESOME way. It’s contagious, and we ALL felt it. Who doesn’t love to laugh 😂

Congratulations Crystal & Ryan!!! May there always be laughter in your lives and in your marriage. 🍾

For me, it's about how I make my couples feel 🤗

And rounding out this unbelievably show-stopping weekend of weddings was Jayde & George!

Nestled in the hamlet of Middle Grove, NY; roughly 7 miles from Saratoga is the magical oasis that is .

Driving through the entrance I was giddy with excitement; not only because it was Jayde & George’s BIG day, but because I was finally performing a wedding here - yes, this was my first one at Brookledge.

AND, I was going to be working with some of my vendor friends; .photo , and the always amazing Helen Christopher and her staff at Brookledge (they make it look effortless, but I know it’s far from that)

Jayde & George were anxious with anticipation, and when their ceremony began it was if Mother Nature was saying; ‘Just Breathe’ as a light breeze came through and the Fall leaves cascaded down from above - it was absolutely beautiful 🍂

Jayde & George’s moment was one I can’t imagine they could ever forget - it was truly unforgettable ♥️

Congratulations Jayde & George!!! 🍾

P.S. You’re not seeing things; there were in fact tattoo artists at their wedding. Some people have a Photo Booth; Jayde & George invited their guests to get a tattoo. If I had a little more time I would have gotten one 😉

Let me start off by saying that Mother Nature has been putting on quite a show…this Fall has been nothing short of SPECTACULAR, and today was yet another day representative of this.
