You see tiny little thumbnails of beautiful people…I see & feel a million memories that will last a lifetime (for them and for me!)…each picture has an album behind them and each couple will always hold a special place in my heart…I can recall funny little things along the planning journey, the emails, the texts, the calls, brainstorming designs ideas and timelines…most importantly, allll the smiles, hugs & happy tears that happened on each wedding day…every single one different, in their own way…so it’s always bitter sweet for me to wrap up a year full of so much love, memories and the FRIENDS I made along the way…but I am so grateful this is part of my life and journey too!

❤️There is a wonderful team of ladies who help make each magical day come true for our clients and boy do they work HARD - giving their dedication, attention to detail, love and care along the way!! I love you gals to the moon and back (we have to come back!) 😂🌛
COULD.NOT.DO.IT.WITHOUT.YOU!: ❤️❤️❤️ Thank you for being YOU!!

🥂🎉HAPPY NEW YEAR to ALL as we embrace 2024 and welcome 2025!!! Cheers loves!! 😙🫶🥰

She’s a Funeral Director who collects animal bones 💀…he has a kind & humerus ☠️ soul…on their first date he asked, “give me one reason I shouldn’t believe you’re a serial killer?” And the rest is history…Rachel + Mason, blissfully married // Til’Death do them part…maybe…maybe not…

At Mountain Lake Lodge in Pembroke, VA soaking up the crisp fall air, drinking coffee while deer walk by, immersed in autumn foliage every direction we look and catching stunning mountain & valley views with sunsets and northern lights galore!!

I LOVE FLAG day!! Happy flag day!! Over the years I’ve grown to love this day more & more… for many reasons…but most of all for its symbolism of unity, pride, valor & honor! My hope is that we can truly LIVE and FEEL these words…not only in our hearts but in our actions - how we treat each other, how we show respect to one another other…and how we love & respect ourselves. Wave your flags high! 🫶❤️🇺🇸🏳️‍🌈
