Francesca and Scott

    What a day!  Francesca and Scott did so much to make their wedding day personal, and even with so much thought put into these details, they both managed to look stunning when the moment came to say I do.  Francesca was such a gorgeous bride, flitting between compassionate conversations, silly explosions of giddiness and genuine moments of taking it all in.  And laughter, laughter, laughter!  No better sign of this great connection than to see Scott's own expression of happiness as his bride walked down the aisle.  There were moments when the guests were wrapped up in it all as well, so much joy and celebration throughout the ceremony through to the end of the night. In between this is the undeniable class and elegance of these two. Truly a wedding day to remember by all who were there, including myself.  Happy anniversary Mr. and Mrs. Wallsmith, may your smiles always reflect the love you feel inside.

Holly and Zak

One year passes so quickly.  Zak and Holly's wedding seems like just yesterday.  Like most weddings, there were many details and events scheduled for the day ~ but there was something calming within the excitement of these two.  They were making their love official, known to the world . . . and the rest would fall into place.  I love the romantic demeanor of their mood mixed with the glitz and glamour of the details, from dress to cake.  And there together in the Scottish Rite, this huge castle of a space, it was the feeling of being right at home that Holly and Zak expressed.  I believe they could have been anywhere, a busy street or among their families and friends, it was the together that counted.  The heart, the home, and their story beginning.  Happy one year anniversary, I know God is blessing you!

Julie and Adam

     One wonderful day in May of 2016, we had the great pleasure of working with Julie and Adam . . . a match made for story telling with the very special name, Julie, at the center.  Sometimes it is all about timing, much how I remember their story from our first consultation, and definitely a key element to the wedding day.  Sarah of Plum and Poppy did a great job of all things punctual and pretty, along with the stunning work of Leslie White Hair and Makeup, and those sweet colorful flowers by Violets are Blue.  Their wedding party (especially the men, which you don't often hear such compliments about) were funny, kind and respectful...and even quite helpful when an extra hand was needed.  Julie's killer blue bedazzled shoes took on a life of their own, quietly resting among the twinkling details of the party and below the amazing chandeliers of this one of a kind venue.  Oh Alexander, such a complimentary scene to the love and memories being lived to the fullest there in your midst.  Julie and Adam, may those memories, that day and night, that special glow never leave you... a very happy one year anniversary.

Kelsey and Jimmy

Such a beautiful day!  The Inn at Irwin Gardens is one of those perfect locations for a wedding, from inside with the historical details to outside in the gorgeous gardens.  I can't imagine a prettier day for Kelsey and Jimmy to fill the house and its surroundings with their own love story.  Kelsey's hair, Jimmy's smile, the glorious sun and blue sky, the soft green of the trees as the light shone through... romantic in every way.  Morgan of Ashley Weddings and Events did a wonderful job of subtly keeping everything just right, from timing to flowers and the little surprises.  Pomp and Bloom created stunning decor and bouquets for the day, I absolutely love working in Columbus for these masterpieces alone!  And the wedding tone is always set right with Wes of Event One DJs. A little Indianapolis, a little Columbus, and a whole lot of the sweet Mr. & Mrs. stepping into married life, full of excitement, hand in hand.

Kavita and Dan

   I love when a long day ends with wanting to stay and enjoy more of the music!  Kavita and Dan had so many important, traditional and aesthetically gorgeous details within their day, but oh how fun it was to see their full and happy hearts expressed throughout the night as the reception opened up.  Happily married, happily experiencing such a special night around their favorite people, and definitely happily kicking off their shoes to celebrate.  Kavita was so thoughtful with her own artistic touch, and for a wedding to plan of this size, that is pretty impressive!  Beautiful bridesmaids, easy going groomsmen, loving families and an excited group of guests... nothing short of the kind of day where all the hard work pays off. And oh that rose window! Congratulations to the team who put this together, the happy new couple and the beautiful day where it all began.  Now back to the music, perhaps it really is the food of love.
