I’ve been sitting on these for waaaaaaay too long and it’s because I’m terrible at social media lately. But the world needs to see these two beautiful women and their incredible day, and their love for each other. Also the “Lavender Menace” bag that I vote everyone should have.

When real life looks like a painting.

For real though I will probably be posting every single photo from this wedding. I’m not sorry in the slightest!

Last night, and invited the Eagles Teacher of the Year finalists down to the Linc for a banquet. My other half, David, was one of those finalists. Then he won!

David’s school will be receiving much needed funds for his special needs program thanks to Nouryon and the Eagles. Also, his school will be getting a pep rally so the kids can all enjoy his win.

It was so lovely to see recognized for the hard work he does with his students. Thanks to him, kids that are normally left behind or would be dismissed at other schools, are able to thrive.

It was so great to meet some of the folks at - it’s inspiring to hear about what you do in person!

Also, thanks to for being a great human (and hugger!). Your time and support for the teachers was very much appreciated.

GO BIRDS!

FLY EAGLES FLY! Are you ready for the game??

(Doing this today because I’m hoping to not open IG until after the game!)

Know that you are loved ❤️

I love this photo from A & J’s wedding because it perfectly encapsulates what they were going for in their wedding day- joy, and a little snowy Hallmark magic ✨

In less joyous terms: we have no intention of following federal directives regarding gender policy. Because honestly, we don’t have to. We’ve made the radical choice to spread love through our work and frankly, to not be giant as****es.

My little bi heart goes out to everyone having a difficult time.

These two just radiated joy the moment they saw each other. Maybe it was the cape radiating a bit, too 😆 Maxray and Eric’s wedding at was a beautiful celebration featuring an epic drag queen, and an epic thunderstorm. If rain on your wedding day is good luck, these two will have it in spades!

I hope everyone experiences the kind of love and joy these two had on their wedding day. From singing to dancing to distracting a marathon with a cape, this one was such a great way to start the year!

I hope that everyone getting married feels as seen, supported, and loved by those around them as these two did ❤️

One of these days I’ll get around to posting a reel of all of the epic weddings we’ve gotten to do, that I haven’t posted yet! V&P’s wedding at was one of the many, many highlights ❤️

If you’ve ever talked to me, you might’ve heard me call myself “the weirdo wedding planner”. I might’ve also said oddball, nerdy, dorky, or “not the cool kid.”
Not only are these things all true, but I made them into my business. Those of you who know me, know I value fun over pretty and personalization over tradition. Is this right for everyone vendor? Of course not. It takes all kinds of vendors to make the industry go round. Being authentically myself- and weaving it into my branding- has helped me score some of the most perfect clients for me.
Curious about how you can do that, too? Come join , , and I at their photography retreat. Not only will you get to dig into my kit (you know you want to!), you’ll get content for your website that’s more diverse!

If you’re looking for winter wedding inspo without the Christmas, run on over to to see Annie and Erin’s gorgeous wedding! Lots of lovely friendors, old and new, for this one! Swipe to see their ADORABLE puppy, Ellie!
