Dogs, handwritten vows, a stellar day, beautiful flowers, a voiceover while the bride walked down the stairs, and a ribbon wand send off. Kevin and Lauren - “married couple” looks fabulous on you !!

I’ve been moving (packing and unpacking ) for 3 days. I checked my email tonight and this was there !! 😭😭😭. I truly am blown away ! I’m grateful, humbled, thrilled and all the good things to get this again for 2025! A HUGE thank you to my 2024 couples (and all my couples !) that trusted me with their love story. You have let me meet your friends and families and most importantly let me get you to “Married”! You are a huge part of how I get this award.

I knew the moment I did my first wedding, that this was my purpose. I’ve never been more sure of anything. And to the Wedding Planners that have recommended me (you know who you are !🥰) I appreciate you and have more fun because of you. Thank you !

I could get all “sappy” about this because it brings me so much JOY and I didn’t expect it.

Thank you to those couples that share their life with me for a few months. I get to do this because of you and your love ❤️. Lucky me!

January of 2023 I had the time of my life marrying and . Everything about that day was fun and lighthearted and I just loved them as a couple. 🥰
They live in Boston but are here visiting family this week and reached out and asked if I could get together and meet their baby ! 🥰. Are you kidding me ? Only appropriate it’s Thanksgiving week and I got to have some QT with them and meet their sweet little boy.
It fills my heart I get to do weddings …but staying in touch and smooching baby cheeks ? It’s everything ! Thank you two for sharing little Christopher with me - my thanksgiving has already started ❤️❤️❤️❤️

“The cracks are where the light shines in “…..as soon as I walked into the charming chapel I fell in love. In love with the way the light came in …the way the guests are right up close to the couple …the way the breeze came through the open sides….the saxophone player serenading everyone in . Paul and Jenn wrote their own vows and there wasn’t a dry eye in the house. They never took their eyes off each other ….i somehow felt like we were suspended in a simpler time. Not sure how else to explain it ….but this place and their love was magical ❤️

Wedding weekend #3 and didn’t disappoint ! Justin and Audrey met at United Express and their love story “took off “. ✈️. A beautiful breezy day …a water view …,and ❤️love. Pretty much what I’d want if I was stuck on a deserted island ;)

“I DO” …my favorite words 😍

Mr and Mrs Fuller ! And my heart is “fuller” that this sweet couple chose me ! They were so trusting and appreciative of the process and I was honored to tell their story - they met in high school❤️ and the groom predicted he “was going to marry Shannen one day “. Today was that day. Lots of roses, red, and love.
My heart is singing …Congrats to Reese and Shannen …love looks amazing on you.

Be gone hurricanes ! Time for us to get back into our heart and celebrate what truly matters …LOVE! I took the summer off to travel so it’s been a hot minute since I was lucky enough to do a wedding. The hurricanes put a damper on some of my weddings….but not this one ! ❤️. It felt SO good to get back into my heart and celebrate what really matters …LOVE❤️. Grateful and blessed that these two chose me to share their fun and deep love story yesterday. It was like salve for the soul . I’m back on the wedding train and couldn’t be happier 🙏🏻❤️ I DO looks good on you two !

They tied the Naut(iCal)! Oh my goodness. Last night on a sailboat at sunset. The couple. A photographer. Myself and the captain (and of course the most beautiful sunset all around us )
We stood on the bow of the boat and I brought them to Mr and Mrs. When they read their vows to each other - both the photographer and I had a few tears. This was very special for me …this couple - it was pure joy to get to know them and write their love story. Since it was just us - I had a lot of “creative leeway” in writing it. One for the record books 💕🙏🏻



Can’t wait to see the professional pictures for this one. The lighting and couple were so beautiful and the photographer was so creative …just a real joy to be part of.

I LOVE looking at the photos and feeling it all again …so happy for this incredible couple. It was such a joy to get to know them 💕

Back on the LOVE TRAIN! A big wedding last night uniting a couple from two different countries who found love here in Florida. Created a ceremony that honored both of the cultures and their love . As soon as I left after the wedding - the rainbow was in the sky. A beautiful sign of their wedding night.

The first pic is the bride reading the private vows her now husband wrote to her before the ceremony (swoon 🥰)

I’m still finding words to say how beautiful this day / wedding /couple was! 🌸💕. Palmer the pup was part of the day and a big part of their love story ❤️. The flowers were beyond my wildest dreams - everything was just perfect.

I loved the vendor team - the magic makers and it starts with . Simply sublime😍

A beautiful backyard wedding in Tampa on Saturday surrounded by roses. The roses had special meaning to the bride as a connection to her mother who had passed away. The couple came from out of state to get married here so the bride’s father could be there and to be in the midst of this particular rose garden. Love stories are to celebrated and told. I’m so grateful this couple trusted me with theirs. 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

1. The “picture perfect” couple
2. The Beautiful Don Cesar venue
3. The “flower wall”. (Stunning!)
4. Congratulations kiss from the groom and I after the ceremony 👄
5. The bride and her dad 😍(I love this picture !)
6. Golden hour and Golden family!

Nick and Sarah were so sweet to work with. Truly my honor 🙏🏻. A lifetime of love and happiness in front of them 💕

Just got to see the professional pictures from Sam and Katie’s wedding and I just re-lived it all again. Weddings truly are special moments all strung together. I look at these and I’m transported back to the day and all the love that was at the Vinoy Renaissance hotel for Sam and Katie. It was a true celebration of lovely people and love . Moment by moment. Blessed to do what I do 😍🥰

Chandler and Shelby planned on an outdoor wedding at but the weather had other plans. They turned the atrium and greenhouse into a beautiful magical space of flowers and love. The barn is always spectacular with its warm ambience and this one had an abundance of gorgeous flowers .
This couple had an AMAZING love story and I was so honored I got to share it with their guests. It was raining down love inside the greenhouse last night ❤️. working their magic on everything ! More to come ❤️
