A message from Lori - Not everyone is meant to work together, and that's absolutely okay! 💡 For years, I’ve said that not everyone is my client, and I’m not for everyone. Recently, someone told me I’m intense. You know what? They’re right—I am! Because I’m passionate about what I do. ❤️

When I/we take on a couple/marriers, I want to ensure their wedding day is everything they’ve dreamed of (and then some). That means paying attention to every detail, advocating for their wishes, and using our expertise to make it happen.

But I also recognize that my style isn’t for everyone, and that’s perfectly fine. What’s most important is that every couple/marrier finds the right person for their journey, even if that’s not me/us. So whether we work together or not, know that our ultimate goal is for you to have a celebration that’s truly you. ✨

Here’s to finding the right fit, embracing our passions, and celebrating love in all its beautiful forms! 🌈
