The process of putting this together took way too long, but it was nice to take a stroll through 2024! Grateful for this year and looking forward to 2025!
❤️
I did it anyway-oh well if it doesn’t like it 🤪 same photos and different song because how are we supposed to choose just one! Plus this bride deserves some major applause 😊🤍

When you’re planning from afar, there is one mistake you don’t want to make…
Not taking care to pick an AMAZING vendor team!
It takes an incredible amount of trust to plan with a team remotely, and you want to be sure you’ve got a team you can rely on! FIRST, get yourself a planner you’re excited to meet with. It shouldn’t feel like a drag to get on those meetings. Then, lean on them for their experience and recommendations to help find the vendors that check all the boxes!
Hands up to this wedding’s fabulous vendors and of course the loveliest couple who entrusted us with their celebration! 🙌🏽

Fly across the ocean and where do they want to go?!
Guess it’s true, can take the girl from the island, but not the island from the girl 🏝️Their first experience at a CA beach and they barely dipped their toes 😂Also, I forgot how salty and fishy these beaches smell 🫠Can’t beat home, that’s for sure. The Natural Bridges at Santa Cruz were gorgeous and a site to see, though 😊Especially when the sun started to set!
We unexpectedly spent 25 days off our island and on the continent doing a whole smattering of adventuring! It was a first for us to do a road trip and boy did we learn some lessons 😂Peep my alma mater and some wineries we reluctantly drove by 😕I’m excited to share more about our trip, but it’ll probably take me all the way till the next trip because my ig battery is already on low 😜

Dad had no idea the life these pieces of wood would live, nor the starting of lives together that they would witness.
Maybe I’m a big mush, but I can’t help but adore the moments this arch has witnessed. Here’s to many more!

You’ve got to plan for the ‘what ifs’ so that no matter what the day brings, nothing can take away from the magic of your day!

We had rain on this amazing day and it only made for the sweetest moments. *cue the clear umbrellas

Most recent realization of becoming my parent - I only want to drink coffee out of a mug! I don’t want a paper cup or a cover of any sort-I am now my father, driving with my mug in hand on the way to school drop off because the mug makes all the difference. Happy to learn this week that Starbucks has their mugs back! Also, not embarrassed at how exciting this news was to me! ☕️

In honor of International Women’s Day-here’s a fun time with one of my faves!
If you haven’t already-check out all the fun things to do at Kualoa Ranch-of course besides getting MARRIED! It’s a gorgeous venue, but it’s also an amazing adventurous place for all ages!

Your vendor team is so so important! It’s the things that can’t be planned for and how everyone adjusts, problem solves, and supports one another that really show the excellence of the team! So grateful to get to work with amazing people!
