In the spirit of holiday season upon us, I was just thinking about all the people I’ve been blessed to meet since starting in this industry and I couldn’t be more grateful! Because of that, I wanted to share a little throwback to a 2022 styled shoot with truly one of the kind-hearted people I know. If moody, film-like, photography speaks to you, then is by far the best 🤍Not only will she deliver beyond your expectations, but will absolutely make you smile.

Was scrolling through my photos and came across this cake and I was in awe all over again 😍😭

While wedding cakes in general are becoming less common, if you want one, who says you have to have a traditional styled cake? Every aspect of your wedding should represent the two of you and if that means having a bright yellow cake with bold flowers, then that’s what you have! 🌼🍰

Leigha Vinson of EXL Events Co. envisioned a cover shoot inspired by the best-selling series Outlander.

Can we just take a second and acknowledge the pure talent Kris with has!? My gosh! 🤩 I sent Kris my inspo photos for this shoot and she went above and beyond. There’s even a faux flower in the arrangements because it was out of season but she was determined to make my vision come to life! I can’t wait to have her make YOUR vision come to life! ;)

This week I got to be on the other side of wedding planning and modeled with my handsommeee man. We loved every second of it! To make styled shoots like this happen, it takes an incredible amount of work, attention to detail, and pure passion for what we do. It was an absolute honor to be a part of it 🤍

I’ll be posting my fav black and white photos and details soon!

To all my groomsmen, no I will not poke you, UNLESS you say “Are you sure you won’t poke me?” Then maybe my hand might slip 🤷🏼‍♀️

In all seriousness, this is just one of the countless things you won’t have to worry about on your day with me as your planner. Who wants to worry about wrangling a bunch of toddlers, aka tipsy groomsmen, on the day you’re getting married? Let me handle it for you! 😉
