I’m honored to share that I’ve once again been recognized with “Best of Weddings” by The Knot and the “Couple’s Choice Award” from WeddingWire for 2026! 🎉

This marks the 5th year I’ve received both awards. These recognitions are especially meaningful because they are based entirely on reviews from the couples I’ve had the honor of marrying last year.

It’s a privilege to stand with couples as they begin one of the most important chapters of their lives. I love receiving messages celebrating anniversaries, life updates, and even introducing me to the newest members of their families! Those moments are a reminder of the special opportunity I have.

To every couple who trusted me with your ceremony and took the time to share your experience, thank you. Your support is what makes honors like this possible.

And to the couples currently planning your wedding, if you’re looking for an officiant who will help create a meaningful, personal, and memorable ceremony, I would be honored to be part of your day. 💍

❄️ Mr. & Mrs. Bell ❄️
The bride dreamed of a winter wedding—and Gatlinburg delivered in the most beautiful way. Overnight, a fresh blanket of snow and ice transformed the Gatlinburg Mansion into a stunning white winter backdrop, setting the stage for a truly unforgettable day.

Surrounded by family who cheered them on, the Bells promised their love to one another, building their marriage on a foundation of faith. It was intimate, joyful, and filled with God’s presence from beginning to end.

What a privilege to witness and celebrate such a beautiful start to forever 🤍

There are few things more special than a wedding that feels deeply personal—and Mr. & Mrs. Spendlove’s day was exactly that. Surrounded by family and wrapped in the beauty of their rental cabin at Oak Haven Resort, they stood together and entered into the covenant of marriage with Christ at the center.

From the setting to the spirit of the ceremony, everything reflected what truly matters: faith, family, and an eternal love. One of the sweetest moments came when Delilah, their beloved pup, proudly made her way down the aisle as the ring bearer, adding a perfect touch of joy and personality to an already meaningful day.

It was an honor to witness and celebrate the beginning of this new chapter. May your marriage be filled with grace, laughter, and a lifetime of God’s faithfulness.

This was a phone call I’ll never forget… A hopeful voice began sharing that she and her fiancé were simply looking for a meaningful way to begin their marriage. After a brief conversation and some quick planning, everything came together beautifully.

One week ago today, Mr. and Mrs. Miller stood before their family, before God, and at the foot of the cross, declaring their lifelong commitment to one another. It was a powerful reminder that marriage isn’t about extravagance, timelines, or circumstances—but about covenant, faith, and choosing one another with intention.

And while we THOUGHT it was cold that afternoon, I’m especially grateful we weren’t navigating the weather that’s on its way now. Grateful for perfect timing, sacred moments, and the joy of witnessing a beautiful beginning.

Mr. & Mrs. Welter 🤍
What a meaningful way to close out my 2025 wedding season.

Surrounded by the beauty of 4 Points Farm, these two promised their lives to one another in a ceremony filled with joy, sincerity, and deep commitment. It was especially powerful to stand with a groom and groomsmen, who proudly serve in the United States Army. Their presence brought a unique sense of honor, brotherhood, and selfless dedication to the day, reminding everyone that love and service often walk hand in hand.

Ending the year with a wedding marked by faith, loyalty, and purpose feels exactly right. Mr. & Mrs. Welter, it was truly an honor to be part of your beginning. Wishing you a lifetime of strength, adventure, and love. 🇺🇸✨

Mr & Mrs Potter were married at the beautiful Venue at Greenbrier Estate, surrounded by an incredible community of supportive family and friends. During their ceremony, they honored both their heritage and their journey together by including a handfasting ceremony—tying an Irish knot to symbolize the joining of their lives and the strength of their commitment. It was a meaningful, intentional moment that reflected not only where they come from, but the future they are building together.

David & Jessie were married last weekend on a very cold day, high above the city at The Trillium Venue. While the temperatures were bitterly cold, the atmosphere was anything but. Their ceremony was filled with laughter, and a deep sense of joy that warmed everyone present. Surrounded by sweeping snowy mountain views, they shared personally written vows that were authentic, heartfelt, and unmistakably them. This choice made the moment even more meaningful. A beautiful reminder that warmth isn’t measured by the temperature, but by love, connection, and the joy shared in moments like these. Congratulations!
