I don’t know how to begin showing up here again after losing my son, Hart. I am not the same person I was when I was last here, prior to giving birth to him and prior to losing him at 3 weeks old. That was a person that had not yet been hit with such an enormous tragedy. I have changed. My perspective on life has changed. Pretty much everything has changed.

However, I can honestly say that my belief in what I do being important has not changed. If anything, it is even more meaningful. Some people may think of a wedding planner as spending a lot of money on flowers, music, and food. But I know from my 5 years of running this business, and working with countless couples, that it is so much more than that. It is being a part of one of the most important days of people’s lives. It is starting a new chapter. It is making memories that last a lifetime. It is celebrating all of the good life has to offer. And knowing now how tragedy can change your life in a moment, we better celebrate while we can.

I have always celebrated everything in a big way. Weddings, baby showers, birthdays, you name it - I celebrated it. And now, I’m so glad I did while I could in a completely blissful way. Moving forward, every good moment in life will have a shadow of sadness that my son isn’t here. If you’ve experienced grief, you may understand that feeling. But I will continue to celebrate because I know how important making memories with the people you love is. And despite all of the pain and potential tragedy around the corner, life is worth celebrating. Love is worth celebrating. And celebrate we will. 🤍

My sweet baby boy, Hart, was born on October 17th, but passed away exactly three weeks later on November 7th.

He was perfectly healthy until the final moment of delivery, when tragedy struck. He had to be resuscitated and rushed to the NICU. We soon learned he had severe brain damage from his time unconscious. We’ll never know why this happened.

We spent three weeks in the NICU getting to know everything about him, loving him, and memorizing every beautiful feature before he passed. We are missing a piece of our family. I am missing a piece of me. I plan for everything, but I didn’t plan for this.

I’ve been silent on here lately, and likely will be for the foreseeable future, so I wanted to let you in on why. There were so many couples, vendors, and followers that have been by my side throughout my pregnancy, so it only felt right to share Hart with you all.

Thank you to everyone that has been understanding while I try to make it through this difficult time.

My beautiful angel baby… I’ll miss you forever. 👼🏼

One of the things that keeps my job interesting is how different each wedding is. From the big moments to the little details, I love when a wedding reflects the couple perfectly!

With September weddings, you may incorporate beautiful fall colors, while the weather feels like a hot summer day. That was the case for this wedding day, and it was just perfect! 🤍
