Imagine a wedding experience that...

Feels less like a checklist and more like living in the moment.

It’s a familiar ache—that tightness in your chest.

You're trying to make everyone happy but forgetting yourself in the process. There are expectations to keep the peace & follow tradition, but something inside you is saying, "this just isn't us." Maybe you don't want the paperwork part of marriage at all.

You’re not alone in this feeling–but you don’t have to fit the mold. You can honor your commitment without expectation or stress and feel more aligned and in love on your day.

Life-time local of the blue ridge mountains

My partner Ian and I have been together for 10 years with no plans of marriage. Instead, we consistently celebrate choosing each other, whenever it feels right. I know first hand how special it is to honor love in a way that’s true to you, and that’s what I help you do. Whether this adventure is to make things official or to forge your own unique path, I'll be here keeping you grounded and capturing all the good stuff — the highlights AND the unposed in-betweens — that tell your honest story.
