One year ago today, Dave and Matt said ‘I do’ lakeside in the Poconos surrounded by fall color, their favorite people, and so much love.

I’ll never forget the joy these two radiated all day long — it was contagious in the very best way.

Happy anniversary! Here’s to a lifetime of adventures as beautiful (and fun!) as your wedding day.

These minimal, acrylic reserved signs from live in my emergency kit now and I pull them out whenever needed. They’re simple, clean, and fit onto just about any chair without a fuss (aka: planner gold).

Pro-tip though: keep reserved seating to your processional VIPs (parents, grandparents, escorts, anyone walking down the aisle). If you start blocking off too many rows, you risk the front of your ceremony looking weirdly empty — and no one wants that in their photos.

A few reserved spots = happy VIPs and a ceremony that feels full and inviting.

Happy, happy anniversary Q&P. This First Look moment with the two of you in the woods by your cabin will forever be utter magic in my book.

Today, I am 40. 🥂

It feels a little surreal to say that out loud (err... type?), but mostly I’m just grateful. Grateful that 16 years ago, at 24 years old, I took a leap and started a business that still lights me up today. I’ve been lucky enough to walk alongside couples during one of the biggest milestones of their lives — and that’s never something I take for granted.

Outside of weddings, life right now is…full. Full of the good, the hard, the growing pains, and the little joys. I’m learning more and more that both can (and do) exist at the same time — and that’s where the real magic is.

So here’s to 40: to the clients who’ve trusted me, the friends I’ve made in this wild industry, and to continuing to do work I deeply love while also carving out space for the rest of life.

(And yes, here’s a rare BTS photo of me actually on a wedding day. I try my hardest to avoid cameras, but milestones call for exceptions, right?)
