Merry Christmas from my family to yours!

I was so sad to do less weddings this fall season, but getting to spend my days watching our sweet Kenzie is so worth it! I’m only doing a limited amount of weddings for 2025 so I can focus my time on my two little girls at home, so reach out now before we are all booked up!

The First Touch
I love this as a replacement for the first look - it’s a great way to recite private vows or share a prayer together and calm nerves without ruining the big reveal when walking down the aisle. I love talking with my couples about their preferences for wedding day and finding what works for them!

💕 Welcome Kenzie Joy 💕
God is so good and was watching over us today. We went to the OB for routine monitoring and they were concerned about Kenzie’s movement. They had me ride in an ambulance to get to Duke University Hospital and within an hour had us getting prepped for an emergency c-section. Our sweet Kenzie was delivered safely but came out pale as a ghost and anemic. We’re unsure how long she was low on blood, but she has been amazing at receiving more and the rest of her levels are good. They have her on a breathing tube just as a precaution and will hopefully remove that soon. Pray for me as they had to put me under general anesthesia as the epidural didn’t work, so my recovery will be longer and more painful. Pray for Kenzie as she will be in the NICU for a bit, pray they can figure out the reason for the blood loss and that there are no long term effects. Thank you all for your prayers and kind words of encouragement we are so blessed!

Hey! We’re the Olsens!

It’s been a while since I introduced myself and family, so here it goes! I’m Paige, I am the owner and lead planner of Lighthouse Wedding Planning. My husband, Landen and I started this business after we planned our own wedding back in 2019. Before kids, Landen and I did every wedding together, but now Landen handles the business finances at home and takes care of our daughter Lindsey while I’m doing Zoom calls, venue visits, and 14 hour long wedding days. Lindsey is our 14 month old daughter who loves music, people, and terrorizing our dog, Bailey. Soon, her world is going to be turned upside down with the arrival of her baby sister, Mekenzie Joy - don’t worry I’ll let you know when she makes her debut! I am so blessed to be able to stay home with my girls and I have this business to thank for that! Along with my own family, is my Lighthouse family, I have a handful of girls who assist me on wedding day, to make sure everything runs smoothly and turns out perfect. I couldn’t be more thankful for them!

Please reach out if you are getting married in 2024 as our books are still open. We would love to be able to help make your day stress free and magical!

We always love a Pup of Honor! 😍
Jessica and Eli wanted to include their new puppy on their wedding day so we worked together to figure out the best plan of action to make sure that our sweet, energetic Cooper could be there to celebrate! If you want to include your dog in your wedding day there are so many ways to do so! For Jessica and Eli, we arranged to have a dog walker bring Cooper home after the ceremony, so he could be in photos beforehand - it worked out perfectly!

Don’t you love this faith-based guest book idea? I think it is so special to have a Bible in your home that all of your loved ones have prayed over and highlighted. Sofia and Collin were even able to get their Bible personalized to make it even more memorable.

I always love a good shot to show off the rings, don’t you?? 💍

A week ago my grandpa went home to be with the Lord. It’s been a long emotional week, but reminiscing in his memories with family and knowing that he is no longer suffering has been comforting.

Looking back I am so thankful to have these precious photos from our wedding. My grandpa was so proud to have “won” the anniversary dance by being married to my grandma the longest. He passed just a few days after they hit their 63rd wedding anniversary, I am so thankful for such an amazing example of marriage to look towards.

I love when the bridal party can have FUN on wedding day! I try my best to ease the stress off of the couple so that when their wedding comes around they can spend it enjoying their family and friends around them, it makes for a much more memorable day!

My favorite wedding day shot to get - the dip after saying I do! I always make sure to have my couples practice this at the rehearsal and don’t worry if you are not skilled in dipping, a simple, twirl and kiss works great as well! It’s the perfect shot to capture all of your friends and family around you!
