Congratulations to Mr. & Mrs. Unverferth!

Lauren and James are the kind of people that make my job enjoyable. Their love for each other can practically be felt through these photos. And they have the same contagiously joyous spirit and love toward everyone they meet.

Wishing them many happy years ahead 🥂 💕

2022 New Year’s Resolution: Post more Wedding Content.

I’ll admit it, I’m bad at posting on the socials. Sometimes you get too caught up within all the moments to document all the moments. So here’s an end of the year highlight of some of my favorite 2021 weddings.

I’m incredibly grateful for all my couples; them entrusting me to bring their wedding day visions to life. Cheers to them, cheers to you, and cheers to 2022!

Unlike today, just a few short weekends ago I wintenessed perhaps the BEST wedding day weather since I started my career: sunny skies and 70 degrees all day long. Needless to say, Jessica and Carl’s wedding was almost as perfect as their wedding weather!

Always grateful for getting to experience these beautiful days and moments. Cheers to Jessica and Carl and all the beautiful days ahead of them 🥂 ☀️

Lisa Frank called, she wants the 90’s back. Or maybe we do...

While pastels and soft hues are the norm for I Do’s, I absolutely love when couples embrace bright, bold colors!

Thanks to all vendors who helped make this happen 🧡

Guys!!! I’m so excited to announce that I was awarded The Knot’s “Best Of” Category heading into 2021!

I couldn’t be more grateful to my friends and family who have supported me through a tough year of weddings (thanks Covid), and especially to my amazing brides and couples who put their trust in me to deliver the wedding of their dreams.

🥂 Cheers to the next year: all the couples, weddings, and love stories it may bring 💕

Sneak peek of a recent wedding! Samantha and Colin might get the award for most easy going couple I’ve worked with 🧡

For these fall nuptials, not only did I get to play wedding planner, but I also served as their DJ and cake cutter for the day! Always great to learn new skills 😉

They tied the knot in Defiance, MO at the Daniel Boone Home’s Grand Pavilion surrounded by a small group of close family and friends. Their night consisted of Giant Jenga, homemade cookies and wedding cake, gorgeous twinkle lights, and delicious bbq!

Can’t wait to see the rest of the photos from Honor Bright Photography

So excited to share photos from one of my recent weddings! Elise and Sean were a DREAM to work with during the tough ups and downs of this season. They look like a dream as well... nothing, not even Covid, was wiping the smiles from their faces.

To say I was nervous about doing this wedding is an understatement. Myself and the newlyweds pictured were fighting a pandemic, city riots, a city curfew, and all the regulations that went with them during the planning process. Nevertheless, love won. It always has. It always will 💕

COVID doesn’t cancel LOVE 💕 Today’s wedding went SO well despite of all the safety measures and pandemic procedures put in place. Can’t wait to see the professional pics once completed!

Comment the first thing you plan to do after quarantine. For me: I’m gonna hug my loved ones just a little bit tighter than before 💕 🤗
