FAMILY is at the HEART of EVERYTHING I do

FAMILY is at the HEART 
of EVERYTHING I do

When I’m not planning weddings, you’ll find me in full family mode—soaking up the sunshine outdoors with my partner Scott, our beautiful children, Ellis and Vida, and our playful pup, Ollie.

The most memorable weddings not only look beautiful, they create an immersive experience for your family and friends, allowing them to feel deeply connected to your love story—making the day uniquely personal and unforgettable.

Clients often say that throughout the process of working together that we become like part of their family—and that’s exactly how we want you to feel!
