Apologies for completely falling off the face of the planet the last couple of months.

Life has been draining all my energy lately. Between my full time job, family life, and the general state of the country, everything has just been extremely heavy for me and it's put me in a major funk. I've even let my schooling take a backseat.

I'm doing my best to get back on track with literally everything but y'all...it is HARD right now & I'm doing my absolute best.

Hoping the new year will bring peace and more opportunities for everyone. 🩷

I wanted to share something that made me smile today, and realize how much my husband truly loves me.

I was dropping him off for work and like he always does, he leaned in to kiss me. And when he kisses me goodbye I don't just get one kiss, I get at least three, sometimes five.

A coworker walked past and said, "Get a room!"

Without missing a beat, he gently grabbed my face & leaned in for one last kiss and told me he loved me. As he was walking in, he turned around and gave me the 🤟 as he often does as one last "I love you."

I smiled so big, treasuring the fact that he's not afraid to be openly affectionately with me.

•My hand is the first thing he grabs when we get out of the car.

•If we're waiting in a line, he often stands behind me and wraps his arms around me.

•He kisses me often, no matter where we are.

• If we're out to eat, he reaches across the table so he can hold my hand.

After a decade-long relationship where I was literally begging someone to hold my hand (later learned it was truly because he was ashamed of my physical appearance) I now have a partner who isn't afraid to let people know I'm his. He loves me loudly, everyday.

Wait for the one who loves you out loud.

I feel like this is soo contradictory to my job as a wedding coordinator, but it's also soo true.

You don't have to go into debt to have a beautiful wedding!

When my husband & I got engaged in 2023, we had the plans for a big wedding at Union Station in downtown Indianapolis. The all-inclusive venue was going to cost us upwards of $13,000. And I wanted the beautiful, dramatic dress. I wanted real orchids and a big, 3-tier cake.

Now?

We're renewing our vows on our first anniversary next month at a local park for $150. I'm wearing a $20 dress from Shein, and my husband is cooking the entire meal, minus dessert. We're creating a YouTube playlist and setting up a speaker for music.

And you know what? I'm ok with it. Because it's not about the big, fancy venue or a dress I'll only wear once.

It's about us. And this is more true to who we are anyway.

And I'm perfectly content with it. 🩷
It’s okay to not want to break the bank to get married.

I promise… you don’t need to start your marriage in debt just to impress people who wouldn’t cross the street for you on a bad day.

Skip the $20k venue.
Skip the strangers on the guest list.
Skip the $5,000 dress that’ll sit in a box after one night.

Get married in your backyard.
Get married at the courthouse in jeans.
Wear something you actually feel comfortable in.
Invite the people who will still be in your life 10 years from now.

Because a wedding is ONE day.
A marriage is every day after that.

Because when the bills come in… it won’t be those random friends or your mom’s second cousin paying them, it’ll be you.

My first anniversary is quickly approaching (September 13th) & today my husband surprised me by saying we'll be doing a vow renewal!!!

I am so, so excited to celebrate with our friends & family. But I'm even more excited that the amazing Aisle & After by Anastasia will be officiating for us!!!

She was the one (besides my mother in law) who truly welcomed me into the family well before my husband even proposed and always made sure to include me, which is beyond appreciated. My engagement took place in her kitchen, and she was able to capture it on video without me noticing.

I can't think of anyone else I would rather have to officiate for us!

HUGE congrats to Aisle & After by Anastasia on officiating her first wedding!!

My First Wedding as an Officiant ✨

This weekend, I had the absolute honor of officiating my very first wedding—and it was nothing short of magical. 💍

I’ll be honest… at first, I was so nervous. My hands were shaking, I was sweating, and I think I drank a gallon of water just trying to calm my dry throat! But right before we began, I took a deep breath, said a prayer, and felt this calm rush over me. The wind blew gently through the trees, and I just knew it was going to be beautiful. And it truly was.

I had the joy of gifting the couple a framed keepsake of their wedding script—a little piece of their ceremony they can treasure forever. Seeing their smiles while holding it was such a full-circle moment for me.

Thank you so much to Pink Diamond Events for the referral and to everyone who’s been following my journey so far. Your support has meant everything as I take these first steps.

This experience has been life-changing, and I can’t wait to see where this path leads. Here’s to many more beautiful “I Do’s” ahead! 🥂

How do you choose the right photographer for your big day when it seems like the options are endless? Planning your wedding is a huge task, and choosing the right photographer can feel overwhelming.

I asked Brooklyn Landers, owner & lead photographer at BeeKay Photography for some insider tips that you may not see on every checklist. She says, "It's not just about pretty photos, it's about the full experience." With over 5 years of experience photographing weddings, couples & growing families, she focuses on creating a relaxed and genuine experience that prioritizes story, emotion & connection. Her work blends documentary-style storytelling with a warm, polished finish, ensuring each gallery feels personal and timeless. Brooklyn believes that every couples deserves to feel seen, celebrated & supported from the first email to the final gallery delivery.
•Pay attention to the way they tell stories.
-Look through full wedding galleries, not just highlight reels. Do the images feel like a cohesive story? Can you follow the emotion of the day? You want someone who captures the big and small moments in a way that feels true to you.

•Ask how they prep before the big day.
-A good photographer doesn't just show up on your wedding day. They guide you through timeliness, light, posing references, and backup plans. If you leave a consultation feeling more confident than when you arrived, that's a great sign.

•Look for someone who knows when to lead and when to fade into the background.
-There will be times to step in and guide, but the best photographers know how to blend in and let real moments unfold.

•Watch how they interact with guests in their photos.
-Do people look comfortable, joyful, and natural? That’s not just luck. That’s someone with people skills, empathy, and the ability to build trust quickly.

•Ask how they approach you two specifically.
-Do they send questionnaires or chat with you in detail? Do they ask about your connection, your personalities, or what matters most to you on the day? You deserve more than a cookie-cutter approach.

•Pay attention to how you feel around them.
-This one’s underrated. You’ll spend more
time with your photographer than almost anyone else on your wedding day. Choose someone who makes you feel safe, seen, and excited to be yourself.

•Ask about their philosophy on editing.
-Do they aim to preserve true-to-life tones and
emotions, or do they lean heavily on filters and trendy presets? A consistent, clean editing style typically ensures that your photos will remain timeless years from now.

•Ask to see non-ideal situations.
-Rainy days, indoor ceremonies, flash receptions, or awkward family dynamics; how do they handle those? You want someone who can creatively and calmly adapt to the real-life chaos of a wedding.

•Make sure you feel like a person, not a transaction.
-You’re trusting someone with your memories. If their communication feels personal, their process feels intentional, and their energy feels like a good fit, you’re likely in good hands.

Hi, friends!

I'm currently in the process of revamping this page & being more active. While I don't plan on taking on any more weddings until I'm done with school & a certified event planner, I have a goal to make this my full time career within the next 18 months. (NOTE: I may make certain exceptions when I say I'm not currently taking on weddings.)

So. How can you help? I promise, it requires only 30 seconds of your time & ZERO MONEY. All I ask is you simply share my page, maybe share a post when it comes across your feed.

That's it! You've successfully helped me promote my business! 🫂

Not local to Indiana? No problem! I travel!!! ✈️
I'm also looking for vendors to connect with! So if you're in any way related to the wedding industry, shoot me a message & we can chat!

To those who have supported me thus far, and to all my previous clients, thank you so much. Your support does not go unappreciated! 🫶

Look, I get it. Shopping small/local absolutely CAN be more expensive, thus making it "not budget friendly".

But you don't need to physically make a purchase from a small business in order to support them. The majority of the wedding industry is small business, minus most of your caterers & venues.

But photographers? Makeup artists & hair stylists? Officiants? Bakers? Planners & coordinators? Yeah, it's usually just us, and maybe one or two others that help run our businesses. Some only do this part time. For others, it's their main source of income.

So even if you aren't getting married, share our pages with your friends. Know someone who's getting married? "Hey, I know this amazing _______! I'll give you their info!"

That's it. In the span of a few minutes, you've supported a small business!

And we all greatly appreciate it!!! 🩷
