I wanted to share this as a post as well on my feed. I am always so thankful for photographers who capture me in the moment of wedding days. Most the time, I’m running around like a chicken with my head cut off, and forget to stop and take behind the scene pictures. (Let alone even remember to drink water 😅). When I look back at galleries and see my face I often think, “Hey! That’s me!” And then I try to think back to what I was thinking in that moment. Most likely, a million different things…😂

Anyways! Long story short… thank you to the photographers in the industry for stopping to capture these moments for me 💜

I am also still booking new couples for 2022 if anyone still needs a coordinator!!!

Something that I’ve realized is how much I care and love to help others. I always knew that I did, but when I started my business I truly found a passion for helping couples on their wedding day. I found something I am good at, and something that I can do to help those who trust me on one of their biggest days.
•
This wedding was different because I was able to help after all that she’s done for me throughout our friendship. I was able to use the business I started to help one of my dearest friends.
•
I will always cherish this picture of use because it accurately shows my life as a coordinator (running around pre ceremony in the rain). It also shows our friendship, no matter the distance.

Part of the fun of helping my couples decorate for their wedding day are all the special touches they decide to include. Part of the fun with this was moving around marble and the pear during the night to different places, until someone noticed 😂. It’s the little things that are entertaining now a days….

I may or may not have bought pillows of my own cats after this 😂 🐱 🍐

Posting another set of pictures for the floral designs I created for Kari & Lizzy (cause I’ve been so bad at posting on here-and why the heck not 😆) had so much fun to get creative with the bud vases and to go hand cut lavender 🌿💐

These two beautiful souls got married last Sunday and it was one of the most amazing days to be apart of as a wedding coordinator. Their haikus during the ceremony made everyone belly laugh and tear up, but so personal to themselves and their love story. Spending two years talking with them about their special day, while navigating Covid changes, made seeing this day come to life that more special. Huge thank you to & for letting me be apart of your wedding planning journey 💗🍐🌳💍
Shout out to this amazing vendor team as well!

Hi Everyone! It’s been a really long time since I’ve posted my face on this account, and honestly I don’t know where to start on the reasons why. So much in my life has changed recently, and I’m trying to keep on surviving.
•
Yes, I still help couples coordinate their special days, and I’m loving getting back into the hang of wedding season. After a year of trying to find other work to pay the bills, it feels a little uncomfortable transitioning back into this industry. I love how naturally it comes back though because I’m in my element agin.
•
I now live in Seaside, OR which feels amazing to be so close to the ocean. As a Colorado native, I can say that I never thought I would live at the coast. I am loving it, and adjusting all at the same time.
•
I really do appreciate all the vendors and couples who have checked in on me since being so MIA. This community is going to be okay, and we will adjust to the new normal of events!
•
Excited to see what comes next 💗

Oh my gosh… it has been so long since I’ve posted on here…. With the whirlwind of the pandemic, life changes, a big move, new jobs, etc. I somewhat feel like I’m starting to feel a little normal again.
•
The 2021 wedding season, being a continuation of the 2020 year, is full of adjusting to yet a new normal of how to do this job. I love it beyond belief, but I can’t help feeling exhausted. I am trying so hard to still be there for my couples while also going through my own life changes.
•
Emily and Russel treated me with such kindness from the first time I met them 2 years ago. Getting to know the couples for so long because of the pandemic is also a huge blessing (even though it through an extremely hard time for so many).

Here’s to a busy 2021 season!

I never become tired of styling being my creative outlet. This year I took a step back to take care of me, and styling took a back burner. I missed the feeling of seeing what I created and seeing other people excited to take pictures. This Christmas set up in my studio was such a last minute idea but I’m super thankful for my best friend and for going with my crazy ideas and helping me.

A whole year full of micro weddings has brought many moments of intimacy like this one. I have seen some amazing personal touches this year because couples are trying to make the memories out of a difficult situation. Whether it is masks in the wedding colors, or spending the day with just the closest of people.
•
After a year of adapting to challenges, I am thankful for the fact that I have become a stronger problem solver. I am super excited for the next year and trying to stay hopeful that couples will be able to still have their dream wedding days.
•
I am still booking couples for next year, so if you don’t have a coordinator please don’t hesitate to reach out!!

Through the pandemic, smoke from the fires, and every plan changing both Kindrah & Jason handled it with so much grace. I have been amazed by the couples this year because of the love not only they have, but also the love they are surrounded by. So many have been supporting ME! Throughout the changes and heart break they have supported me, when I’m hired to support THEM!
