When a beautiful medical student meets a freshly-pressed attorney, magic happens, right?! See for yourself! The way they look at each other makes me smile;  the way that they kept their heads about them and didn’t get bogged down with minuscule details; the way she studied for exams and he built his practice all while […]

Kristen and Walter are one of those couples you don’t want to see go. Spending time with them never felt like “work” and I enjoyed getting to know them as we created a picturesque lakeside wedding day for these two. Despite the challenges of turning 2 private residences into wedding venues, this wedding was absolutely […]

I love when a bride’s main focus is her marriage to her best friend.  The details and stress can be overwhelming (I could drive home the need for a wedding planner/coordinator) but despite the trials of a long engagement, Kate was a gracious, beautiful bride.   These two are crazy in love and didn’t sweat […]

Fall of 2014 was absolutely nuts. I had 8 weddings in 8 weeks and with a full time job, I knew it was going to be a challenge. Luckily, I had some of my favorite couples lined up for fall weddings and a stellar vendor lineup for each event!  I kicked off my 8 week […]

I love when a mom wants to be involved with the wedding planning as a sounding board, but with the absolute conviction that the decisions are to be her daughter’s: the brides. A well oiled mother-daughter team can be such a blessing to a wedding professional and I was so lucky in this case to […]

Ashlee and Dan are both in medical school at Vanderbilt, both with full plates: classes, clinicals, exams, etc. With the help of friends and family, these two tied the knot in front of ~120 friends and family. I love an organized MOB. And Ashlee was one lucky bride!  Her mom worked to create a beautifully […]
