Rachel and Lucas’s wedding will forever hold a special place in my heart. Even though we first met at their rehearsal, it felt like we’d known each other for years. Their love and warmth made everything so easy and natural.

Lucas looked incredible in his maroon suit—it was bold and so fitting for the day—and Rachel’s dress was absolutely breathtaking, radiating elegance and beauty. Watching their love shine through every detail and moment was truly unforgettable.

Thank you, Rachel and Lucas, for trusting me with such an important role in your day. To all the couples who have trusted me in the past and those I’ve yet to meet, I’m so grateful for the chance to be a part of your love stories. It’s a gift I’ll never take for granted. ❤️

captured their day so beautifully! Loved working with you, doll 💕🥰

✨ Ashley & Cody ✨

August weddings are the perfect way to celebrate the transition from summer into fall, and Ashley and Cody’s rustic, elegant celebration was absolutely stunning. Every detail was thoughtfully planned, and the fact that they orchestrated everything themselves made it all the more impressive.

Thank you both for allowing me to be part of your special day and giving me the honor of officiating your ceremony. It’s a wedding I’ll never forget, and I’m so grateful to have had the opportunity to get to know you and your families more closely.

Even with the sweltering 90-degree heat and no AC, Ashley, Cody, and their guests didn’t miss a beat! Their joy and energy filled the day, making it one of the most unforgettable celebrations I’ve had the pleasure of witnessing. Cheers to you both and to a lifetime of love and happiness! 🥂

✨ Enchanting Elopement at Elakala Falls ✨

📍 *Blackwater Falls State Park* 🌲

Congratulations to the lovely Erin and Bert on their beautiful elopement! Their ceremony was as intimate and romantic as it was unforgettable. Before Erin made her way down the forest path, Bert adorned the trail with rose petals, creating a dreamy entrance for his bride-to-be. The couple honored Bert’s Scottish heritage with a handfasting ritual, adding a touch of tradition and enchantment to the serene woodland setting.

A heartfelt thank you to the incredible team that brought this magical day to life. Your efforts made every moment truly special for Erin and Bert! 💍🌹

Tamea and Buddy’s Garden Wedding was truly remarkable. Our journey together began shortly after their engagement and the planning of their special June wedding began shortly after. I even had the opportunity to marry them on two separate occasions - first at the courthouse for a true elopement and second amongst all of their closest friends and family. It was the most perfect day and it wouldn’t have been possible without the help from our team of vendors. You all went above and beyond and I’m so grateful for your service and support 🙏🏼🫶🏼💕

✨ Emma & Brandon 5.19.24 ✨

I’ve said it before, but I truly love what I do! It was a privilege to coordinate and officiate Emma and Brandon’s wedding. The day was absolutely magical—Emma looked stunning, and Brandon was so dapper!

To everyone’s surprise, Emma and her dad slipped away while the wedding party lined up for the ceremony. They amazed everyone by arriving in an antique firetruck, sirens blaring! What a way to kick off the celebration. Brandon teared up the moment Emma walked down the aisle.

After the ceremony, the fun truly began! Everyone joined in a conga line on the dance floor and danced the night away. They exited the party with a champagne pop and a final dance.

We couldn’t have made their day so perfect without the help of our incredible team:
