Over here, I am definitely on Team Involve Your Dog! While it’s not always conducive (or allowed) to include them in your ceremony, a less stressful option is including them for bridal party photos.

Like..I’m completely deceased. Puppy Rhonda stole the show 😍🐶

Why is it SO awkward posting for the first time after ghosting your Instagram for months? 😬

It has been a very hard week here in America. But at the same time, it was a week that looked just like the week before it. And the week before that. It was another week filled with gun violence. This time, 19 children and 2 teachers lost their lives only a handful of days after 10 people lost their lives while grocery shopping in Buffalo, New York.

And what do we do? Some of us do more than others, but certainly not enough. I don’t know what the answer is, but this certainly isn’t it.

I’m tired of the lost lives, the thoughts and prayers, and the inaction. It’s time to hold our leaders accountable. Call your elected officials and demand they pass common sense gun reform. Register to vote and vote - in every election.

We deserve better. 🖤

It feels slightly unsettling for me to post the usual optimistic wedding photos as I watch the Ukraine crisis in horror, feeling helpless to do anything of substance.

So I present to you these stunning images by of 🪴 from a 2021 rehearsal dinner. Because art is therapy (but actual therapy is dope, too!)

Taking it back to one of my first styled shoots, put together for the workshop for photographers. This one shot by Juliana Noelle Jumper] who I didn’t know at the time but I would end up doing like 19 more shoots with her 😂😏 because

We got a branding refresh! As an (extroverted) introvert, having my photos taken is my worst nightmare. WHAT DO I DO WITH MY HANDS?!

Since this was my second branding with , we learned from my awkwardness back in 2019 and split the branding into two - the first of which was capturing me setting up for one of my couple’s weddings.

And naturally, I picked Olivia + Tony’s wedding day at The Guild because I mean..look at it! 🕯🥰

I am a SUCKER for winter weddings and didn’t have a single one this year. Normally I would be a bit bummed but this fall wedding season was a DOOZY 😧😴 so I am really enjoying having some breathing room over the holidays.

I will forever be team winter wedding - I mean, who doesn’t want golden hour photos in front of the plaza lights?!

Brick + Ivory is SIX! 🎂 Whaaaaat?! How tho? The last couple years have been a test to our patience - not just for wedding industry vendors but literally everyone. Lots of ups and downs, celebrations and frustrations. But through it all I’m very lucky to have this business and to continue to make amazing relationships in this community 🥰💐

cannot begin to thank all my lovely clients and friendors for keeping me sane during this weird time getting to know covid 😟😘

Oh, and get vaccinated! Then you can wear this cute mask around like I do! 🌈💉

I had the pleasure of having Mallory + Nathan as a full service + design couple. May 15th, 2020 was their original wedding date but was postponed due to covid. We rescheduled for November. The Monday of their wedding week the updated mandate was announced which took effect ON their wedding day so we moved their entire wedding up a day.

Stressful? Yes.
Frustrating? Yes.
None of that mattered in the end because it was the perfect day and these two FINALLY got hitched.

I consider myself an easy going wedding planner until we get out the sparklers and I revert into drill sergeant mode 😏

It may be a struggle to get hundreds of intoxicated people to not light each other on fire but the photos are so worth it ✨

Better late posting than never, right?! Mel + Ben were my first wedding to happen during covid back in July 2020 after initially being postponed. They also happen to be two of my favorite humans ever. But I mean..look at ‘em! 😍🌿
