Feeling extra thankful today. For this life, this business, the people who trust me with their biggest moments, and the magic that somehow shows up at every wedding.

To all my couples, past and present, thank you for letting me be part of your story. It’s the biggest honor and truly the best job in the world.

Grateful for this year, excited for what’s coming next, and wishing everyone a cozy Thanksgiving filled with good food and people you love.

There’s something unreal about doing your first look twenty-two floors up, with the whole city stretching out behind you. Rachel and Nico made Charlotte feel small in the best way.

He turned around and instantly smiled. She read him her vows and instantly cried. The skyline, the wind, the quiet moment before the day really began… it all hit different up here. This is what I make space for. I don’t interrupt, I don’t rush you. I wait for the nod that your moment is done, and until then, it’s yours.

There’s a certain kind of magic in historic homes… the creak of the stairs, the patterned carpets, the way the light moves through rooms that feel like they’ve lived a thousand stories already.

Watching these two move through this space felt like stepping into a scene. Soft hands, shared glances, slow steps down a staircase that’s seen generations walk it. Nothing posed. Nothing rushed. Just romantic, old world energy doing its thing.

This is why I love weddings that embrace character filled venues. The walls already have stories. You just get to add your own.

Pro tip: ceremony seating doesn’t have to feel stiff or traditional. One of the biggest trends right now is treating your chairs like part of the design, not an afterthought. Luxury chairs are truly the move. They show up in almost every ceremony photo, so choosing something with texture and intention makes a huge impact.

Brides are leaning hard into “elevated minimalism” this season, and honestly, it photographs beautifully. Clean lines, soft palettes, thoughtful symmetry. Pair that with chairs that actually match your vision and your whole space feels cohesive in the best way.

If you want your ceremony to look as good in photos as it feels in person, keep your design simple, cohesive, and intentional. The impact speaks for itself.

There’s just something about a tented wedding. A little coastal, a little classic, always romantic. Give me soft light, crisp canvas, and a breeze doing its thing with the flag at the top. Pure magic.

If you’re dreaming of a space that feels modern, architectural, and drenched in natural light, The Lumen House Greenhouse is your girl. Floor to ceiling windows, black framing, and a layout that makes every tablescape look like it belongs in a design magazine.

This space does the most without trying. The light shifts throughout the day, the reflections feel cinematic, and every floral color palette hits different in here. It’s the perfect blend of minimal structure and high impact.

If The Lumen House is on your venue list, the Greenhouse deserves a spot at the top. It’s one of those places that makes magic easy.

Coming to you live from a personal day. On the docket: an oil change (cause ya girl is drivingggggg), a few grown up chores (boo), a pedicure, and maybe even some window shopping if I’m feeling wild! Gotta get my life together before the holidays.

What's on your to do list??

There’s something about removing the color that makes an image feel louder. The way light hits, the curve of a smile, the softness in a glance. Black and white keeps the mood honest. It strips everything down to the moment itself, no distractions, just the two of you and the light dancing around.

Shoutout to all my couples out here earning degrees and planning weddings at the same time. You’re in law school briefs by day and comparing linen swatches by night. You’re writing papers, studying for boards, finishing your thesis, running on caffeine, and still somehow making time to choose florals and book your dream vendors.

Honestly, you deserve extra credit for this level of multitasking. Wedding planning while getting a masters, doctorate, becoming a MD, or lawyer? Respect.

Proud of you. Cheering for you. And always down to work around exam weeks!

Happy International Students Day to all my brilliant, overachieving couples. You’re doing amazing, sweetie. 📚💍✨

Okay so life with two under two is basically a full-time contact sport, but honestly I’m obsessed. Baby snuggles all day, toddler chaos on repeat, and somehow my heart keeps expanding instead of exploding.

Between naps, snacks, and the occasional meltdown (sometimes theirs, sometimes mine), I’ve been wrapping up the most incredible fall weddings and editing with so much love for my couples! Slow mornings, late-night work sessions, all of it.

I’m also really looking forward to taking some actual time off for the holidays. A little rest, a lot of family time, and maybe even finishing a cup of coffee while it’s still hot. We’ll see...

Here’s to the season I'm in. The beautiful, messy, sweet one 🥂

My current favorite trend? Ceremony stages!

They elevate the entire look (literally). The layers, the depth, and symmetry give your design room to shine.

When planners, florists, and designers build a ceremony set, they’re not just creating a backdrop; they’re crafting a focal point for one of the most important moments of your life. It draws every eye right where it belongs.

Name a more iconic getaway—I’ll wait.

This vintage black Porsche Speedster moment was pure editorial magic. Channel that main character energy!

Pro tip: If you’re planning to incorporate a vintage car into your wedding day, build in extra time for portraits. The photos will be unreal, but we’ll need a few minutes to let you channel your inner movie star. We can do them during the day, then again at night with that vibey flash when you actually get on up outta here!
