We had a blast ringing in 2023 with Katie & John-A We had a blast ringing in 2023 with Katie & John-Austin and a fantastic vendor team. ✨🌙 

Cheers to all of the laughs, memories, business milestones, destinations, weddings, puppy cuddles, and exciting plans this year will hold. 🥂
“Our love for each other is something beautiful, “Our love for each other is something beautiful, and something I vow to never hide or diminish on account of other people.” ✨

The love that Lauren & Erin share is electric, wholesome, and joyful. The happiness they radiate is felt in any room they grace, and building their story was such an honor 💛
This charming European garden party-inspired celeb This charming European garden party-inspired celebration paired elegant details, joyful company, and a romantic al fresco garden atmosphere. 

Throughout the whole day I was reminded of my favorite place on earth (Italy 🇮🇹) and inspired by the authenticity and individualism of Michael & Julia, and the love and support expressed by their friends and family. Enjoy this sneak peek into M&J’s lovely celebration. ✨
Mariah & Nik Bali’s multi-day celebration blende Mariah & Nik Bali’s multi-day celebration blended the cultures, traditions, and personalities of two incredible, fun, quirky, amazing individuals. My favorite events are those that truly embody the couple they celebrate, my favorite couples are those with a beautiful story to tell, and my best stories always come from couples that are authentically themselves and know how to have fun and just soak in the pure joy of marrying their best friend. Nik & Mariah’s wedding checked all of the boxes and we were a perfect match, I’ll be dreaming of this amazing weekend for years to come. ✨
Julie & Brad’s wedding at @theseclusion was one Julie & Brad’s wedding at @theseclusion was one for the books. Julie actually gifted Brad by hiring Iron & Ivy Films to film their special day, something Brad really wanted but didn’t suspect would happen.  Every time someone chooses to “gift me” as a wedding surprise for their partner, it’s such an honor and a very special feeling for me. 🖤 When this happens, I definitely make sure to remind my husband multiple times that I am “literally a gift.” 😂

All jokes aside, this couple was an absolute perfect match. Their emotion and gratitude to their family and friends shined through their entire wedding day and it was an honor to capture their love story. ✨
Going on a solo-trip has been on my bucket list fo Going on a solo-trip has been on my bucket list for quite a while but the time was never right. In mid October I decided there was never going to be a “right” time and I booked a flight to Europe on a whim. I planned an international solo trip in 3 weeks time and it was one of the best decisions I have ever made. 

The last minute planning was surprisingly freeing - I was in the middle of a (very) busy wedding season so I didn’t have time to focus on every little trip-planning detail, and I’m so grateful for that because it resulted in a trip schedule with room for spontaneity, flexibility, growth, and reflection. I explored new cities, went on breathtaking-solo hikes, climbed to the top of cliffs, sat at the summit and took time to just *breathe*. I discovered a new-found love of reading, explored castle ruins, and ultimately just spent much-needed time disconnected and learning more about myself by simply giving myself space to *be* - something that rush-culture in America does not allow. The positivity I drew from this experience was astounding and I walked away with more self confidence, inspiration, empowerment, and joy than I could have ever imagined. 

So for anyone wanting to take a solo trip but finding that something is holding you back:

✨ It’s not for everyone, but you’ll never know if it’s for you unless you try.

✨ The rumors are true, it can be intimidating and a bit overwhelming to start planning. Just take one step at a time. 

✨ Dining alone may not be your cup of tea. I went into this experience expecting to hate this aspect but I was surprised to find that I was not bothered by it at all and it was quite enjoyable. Try it - you just might surprise yourself!

✨ You will likely be met with opposition from well-intentioned friends and family members. Expect this but do not allow it to stop you or cause you to second guess yourself. 

✨ You will probably learn a lot about yourself if you actually give yourself space to do so.

✨ You’ll probably meet some interesting people and have some great conversations.

✨ You will leave your destination feeling empowered and accomplished.

✨ There will never be a right time. Seize today.
