Oh how I love courthouse elopements!! Griffin and Andrea said forever at the courthouse in downtown Fayetteville. With the incoming weather report of snow we rented out The Hub event space for some chic bridal and family portraits!

Enchanting Castle Farms Wedding in Northern Michigan ✨🏰

Kelseah + Nathan had their gorgeous wedding at Castle Farms in Charlevoix, MI, which provided the perfect backdrop, from a heartfelt courtyard ceremony to a lively reception in the East Garden Room and Queen’s Courtyard. The bride got ready in the elegant bridal suite, where she could watch a special first look between the groom and their daughter. As the sun set, we slipped away for golden-hour portraits, capturing romantic moments against the castle’s breathtaking stone architecture.

Angeliz & Nicholas | Elopement, Raleigh Courthouse

Yesterday’s glamorous courthouse elopement at the Wake County Justice Center was nothing short of magical! Surrounded by their closest family & friends, Angeliz + Nicholas made it official in the heart of downtown Raleigh.

Even on a Wednesday, the courthouse was packed with couples saying ‘I do’—so if you’re planning to elope here, be prepared for a bit of a wait as they allow walkins! This allowed for photos around the gorgeous courthouse.

One of the best things about the Raleigh courthouse? They allow up to 30 guests—perfect for an intimate yet celebratory elopement!

Quintin & Rachel
This 2 day adventure in Hawaii started off by saying "I do" in Quintin’s charming childhood church in Hilo. After they celebrated with their closest family over authentic Hawaiian food in their backyard, every moment of this wedding was pure magic.
The next day, we chased adventure at Waipi'o Valley Lookout, making our way down to the beach—just us, the waves, and a few wild horses roaming nearby.
So grateful for this experience, and already dreaming of the day I get to go back. 🏔️🌊🐎

BUSINESS UPDATE
I am stepping away from Flowers and Design
and fiercely stepping forward towards photography!

It was a tough decision but the right one. As I continue to grow and evolve into a more sustainable business, I’ve found myself drawn back to my roots—photography. It’s where it all began for me.. in 2010!!

Combining design, photography, and florals has been such a rewarding journey, blending three things I deeply love. While I may revisit flowers and design in the future as I am absolutely infatuated with it, for now, I’m thrilled to dive headfirst into wedding photography with renewed focus and intention.

This journey has been a masterclass in growth, teaching me invaluable lessons that have shaped both my craft and business expertise. I'm excited to channel everything I’ve learned into this next chapter. ;)

Cheers to Calista and Jonathan!

Surrounded by friends and family, this wedding was truly filled with a lot of love and laughter—especially when they were getting iced out by their officiant! 🥂🌊

They held their beautifully intimate ceremony in their Airbnb's backyard, which I would too if I had a beach in my backyard! Especially if it's as stunning as the Corolla beaches are. Airbnb weddings are fantastic for family traveling in and wanting to celebrate together comfortably!

❗️You can help❗️

This Thursday we are heading to a donation site in Asheville (BeLoved Asheville) for supplies drop-off and volunteering.

Here are some of their current urgent needs:
Cases of water
reusable bags
walkie talkies
flashlights
cookstove

I made an Amazon Registry for urgently needed items (Please make sure they are delivered to the address before 10/10)

Here’s my Venmo: (You can tell me the item you want to purchase or donate to the items I am purchasing)

I believe we don’t understand the magnitude of this Hurricane and the destruction it left NC in. From people with boots on the ground, they are still pulling bodies out of water, communities are trapped, starving, and thirsty. We need to help!!!

They urgently need volunteers with a construction background to help rebuild!!

Other ways to help and donate:
United Way of Asheville and Buncombe County
cfwnc.org - The Community Foundation of Western North Carolina
North Carolina Disaster Relief Fund

Huge congrats to Henry and McKenzie as they embark on their forever together at the Raleigh Courthouse.

My camera absolutely loved these two as we pranced around downtown Raleigh for some trendy photos after making things official in the courthouse. Their close family members were able to join which was the best part!

But hold up… no one told me the Raleigh Courthouse was so gorgeous!? There’s marble walls, all-white hallways, large elevators, a photographer's and bride’s dream! It’s called the Wake County Justice Center, walk-ins welcome!

Katy + Abdulla! ⭐

Capturing their love was effortless. 💕 The ceremony took place on the front lawn, followed by a tented wedding reception in the backyard. The bridesmaids rocked beautiful moonflower bouquets, totally on-trend!

We worked closely with the bride to perfect every detail. Held at the historic Governor’s Mansion in Columbus, WI, just 40 mins from Madison, this stunning BNB offers a picturesque backdrop for tented weddings.

✨ Historic site with Italian architecture
🥂 Champagne tower with edible florals
💐 To-die-for ceremony florals

CHRISTINA + CORY; Madison Elopement

This elopement beautifully blended the vibrant downtown Madison atmosphere with escaping off into intimacy at Olbrich botanical gardens.
Christina and Cory's choice to stay at the Madison Concourse Hotel for their wedding date was a natural one—they always find comfort there when they visit town, making it the perfect setting for capturing photos against the backdrop of its beautiful architecture. Check out that view of the Capitol!

Rarely do you find yourself thankful for rain on a wedding day, but on this occasion, we were grateful. The gardens kindly permitted us to hold the ceremony inside their lush tropical Conservatory. Christina's sentimental attachment to sunflowers prompted her to include them in her bouquet—they were the first type of flowers Cory ever gave her!

Congratulations to Ashlee and Lance on their special day!

The ceremony took place at Cambium Barn, where they exchanged vows beneath a beautiful floral arch. Everywhere you turned, there was beauty to behold: from the radiant couple themselves to the vibrant purples and blues that adorned the floral arrangements and full bouquet.

Adding to the enchantment of the evening was a vintage photo booth, which provided guests with a delightful way to capture more memories of the celebration. As the night progressed, everyone danced away, surely making the night one to remember.

Shoutout to all the vendors that pulled this together!

Maggie and Noah's wedding at the Fayetteville Botanical Gardens was a Monday to remember!

Maggie had a crystal-clear vision for her wedding right from the beginning. From her floral arrangements to the lavender and sage tablescape, she meticulously designed every detail! Her bouquet featured an all-white cascading orchid arrangement, complemented by purple orchids adorning the tables.

The day was truly heaven sent!

Congratulations to the newlyweds, Carissa and Kyle! Their special day was even more memorable with their son tagging along. The celebration began by the historic courthouse with a touching first look between the son and the bride, followed by the bride and groom.

The ceremony took place at the detention center in Fayetteville. Upon waiting in the lobby a for a mere 15 minutes, there were 3 different parties there to get married!! I couldn’t believe it!

The clerk was very kind and allowed them to have the ceremony outside. Afterward, we wandered around downtown, capturing photos to commemorate the beautiful occasion.

There’s a love hate relationship when it comes to artificial intelligence in the wedding industry. Especially with professional photography, event design, and flowers!

AI is often my sidekick and comes in handy when I have to remove a sign in the background or fix someone's wispy hair. I’ve even used it to straighten chairs in a photo or remove a rug! It’s astonishing what AI can do!
However, it does raise questions about authenticity. It’s said to give customers and viewers a false sense of what’s possible. Especially when it comes to wedding design and flower installations. Artist talk about how it’s a lazy way to create content. Sometimes when I scroll, I can’t tell the difference anymore!

I created these bamboo floral stands as a ceremony setup. Yes, I sawed these down in my backyard and acquired Poison Oak that I dealt with for 3 weeks. :D To showcase these bamboo stands I was originally thinking of using AI to add flower pieces. In real life this took 6 hours of work and lots of problem solving to add the flower pieces. I am sure I could have created this with AI, probably something even more exuberant and lush but AI will never replace the learning opportunity and having the overly confident answer of “YES, I can create that!!”

Joyceanne + Matthias
A modern twist on the Fayetteville courthouse elopement: They began with the official ceremony, then explored downtown Fayetteville and its historic buildings, including The Hub Fayetteville for photos. It's always so heartwarming to hear about other love stories throughout military.

Joyceanne wanted an all-white dried floral bouquet (so she could keep it forever) with pops of soft blue! Making this bouquet reminded me why I love being a florist! I couldn’t help myself but to add some fresh white tulips.
Such a perfect little elopement package from us! A few hours of photography, a custom bouquet, and a plan to commemorate the day! If this sounds like you... reach out to me!
