As this wedding season draws to an end, I am so grateful that I had last night's wedding as one of my last of the year. I'm still basking in the warm, fuzzy feelings because of these two. I fell in love with Emily and Danielle when we had our first meeting via Zoom over a year ago. They are so full of love and joy!!

I am also grateful for the amazing team I worked with last night, including Nicole from The Haight, my bestie, Jaysin Osterkamp and his team from For Love Films, Nicole of The Still Life Photography, and Gary from Sounds Abound Entertainment

Finally, I appreciate a wedding where the team and guests abide by safety protocols. It feels good to be around folks who we know are all vaxxed and safe!!

Congratulations to Casey & Jonny! I had such a blast working on their ceremony. How could I not? It was chock full of movie references and even lyrics an Eminem song. Happy to report that The Exorcist quote went over well. These two have so much fun together - I know they'll keep each other laughing throughout the years!

I will always love a book-themed wedding.

Great tips for having a wedding that will give back.

It is quite possible for your wedding to both be the best day of your life and also benefit those in need.

So grateful for the wonderful couples I have the honor of serving!

I am beyond grateful that we had Anita as our wedding celebrant. She is truly an amazing, kind, compassionate, understanding person and also an incredible story-teller & speaker. My fiancé and I had been together for over a decade before we got married and in that time we created a lot of memories....

Look at these two! Could they be any cuter??

They went from the 8th grade dance to Prom... all the way to their long-overdue wedding day at The Haight. Congratulations, Brett and Emily!

Happy Wedding Day to Danny and Kristina! After a long wait, they were finally able to share their special day with friends and family at the Metropolis Ballroom.

A few raindrops didn't stop the celebration - or the smiles!
