Hello

Paige & Michael

Engaged

The day they met, Paige called her mom and told her, “I think I just met my future husband.” Paige and Michael had just spent over 5 hours at a coffee shop after work one afternoon-turned-evening getting to know each other and having so much fun together. “He was so sweet, genuine, and funny.

Weddings

You know I love a Friday wedding–the magic of hosting an event while much of the world is still clocked in at their regular job is so intimate and special–and Christel and Steven’s wedding day was extra lovely in every way.

Piper & AJ

A Walker Homestead Spring Wedding

Weddings

It was not what one would consider a beautiful spring day–the winds were extreme (!!), the temperatures frigid, and the sky completely overcast–but inside Walker Homestead, it was beautiful and warm with lots of pastels and punches of richer colors, like the bridesmaids, who all wore different colors that turned out to be so perfect […]
