This season feels like coming home. I’m thrilled to announce that I’m opening my wedding books again for 2026, with space for just 8 couples.
To celebrate, I’m sharing this beautiful getting-ready session at the Inn at Pasatiempo, along with the timeless elegance of The Hollins House. It’s an honor to step back into these spaces and into this work again. Inquiries for 2026 are now open.

Just added a few more weekends of minis!!! Check out the dates, link in profile!
