It was a gift to be invited into a love story as wonderful as Megan & Christian’s this past Saturday. 🤍

Confession: as a total dog person, seeing all the special details in dedication to their pup was the best! Plus, I am always a sucker for a Greek Orthodox ceremony…Throw in a reception at and keeping the dance floor groovin’ - what a way to wrap our 2025 season. 🥰

Shoutout to the amazing vendors who made this day happen:

I’ve been holding onto this toast for a while now. Honestly, more than anything, it’s because I’ve been struggling to find words that even come close to what Brandon said on his wedding day — to his now husband, David.
To take time on a day that’s supposed to be all love and celebration, and still choose to advocate… to use that moment to educate allies, to speak truth, to carry the mental load of saying something so meaningful when he deserved to just breathe and dance — it’s incredible.

There’s a feeling I get when I’m surrounded by my q***r friends and community. This strength and resilience that I wish none of them ever had to build, but they do — and they wield it like light. A voice when we’re tired. A reminder that there’s still work to be done.

I’ve been in the wedding industry since 2011. And in 2025… there are still vendors and venues who won’t accept q***r clients. Or worse, take their money but not honor who they are. At one of my first jobs, I told my boss I’d quit if they didn’t book a q***r couple. They did — and I’ll never forget how that day changed every person who had never met a gay couple before. They got it. That it’s love, plain and simple.

But here’s the thing — it’s not just the same. The rights of my friends, clients, and chosen family are still debated every single day. The love stories I get to witness are built on generations of people fighting for the right to exist, to marry, to be seen.

Pride isn’t just a parade. It’s voices that refused to stay quiet. It’s progress, it’s hard conversations, it’s showing up — in small ways and big ones.

The wedding industry is supposed to be a space where we honor love. I’ve been welcomed into so many cultures and traditions, and every time, I’m reminded how sacred it is to see people loved for exactly who they are.

My hope in sharing Brandon’s words is that they spark something. Maybe you share them, maybe you call a vendor and ask what being affirming really means, maybe you read a book by a q***r author, or just celebrate the amazing, wonderful, gay people you know.

Because love deserves to be celebrated — fully, loudly, and without conditions.

David and Brandon had the a day *almost* as beautiful as their love, and that says something because WOW, this was a stunner!

This couple who loves antiquing, design, and making their beautiful home their very own. So, they found themselves their perfect venue at for their moody and formal evening affair. Throw in an amazing vendor team and we just feel so lucky we were even asked to help hold onto these memories for them.

I can’t wait to share more, these two deserve the moon and stars. In honor of them, go to your local library, read a book by a q***r author, learn something new, and do the work to show up and love your q***r friends. Do the work, have the hard conversations, and love them deeply. We’ll share more of Brandon’s thoughts on that soon. 😘

Community, Creativity, and Keeping Creston Funky, Creston Pride 2025 was the perfect way to celebrate the fact that Pride is 365 days a year, NOT just in June.

It was a day filled with hugs, hellos, lots of cheering, and a decent amount of sweat hustling around the stage for my queens but you know I’d do it over and over again! As Luz said, she reached out and said “want to do some gay stuff?” Per usual, I said I was in!

Being a sponsor of a parade, is like, my favorite thing ever. So thankful for this pocket of joy we all so deeply needed, for a sense of community and belonging, and for dancing in bubbles along the way.

The day started with Tori opening the door arms wide for a huge hug waiting just tor me, and that set the tone for the whole day — warm, real, and full of love you could actually feel.

These two love their people hard, and their people love them right back. You could see it in the letters, the dances, the *especially* the way their parents looked at them.

And can we take a second for ?

Every detail felt effortless — thoughtful, intentional, and perfectly them. Throw in , who brought the lush local blooms and magic was made (those Canterbury bells were giving us life).

The reception? Absolute takeover. had the dance floor packed, the energy was unrelenting, and the joy was everywhere.

This 48-hour teaser is just a slice of the heart, soul, and straight-up party we got to capture. We don’t just do the slow and traditional films over here.

Your film should match your day, and your energy. We hope this does just that for Tori, Steve, and their loved ones.

Still can’t get over this branding session with Laurel Smith Photography. I don’t think I could have dreamed up anything even close to how this turned out, and I’m so thrilled to help a fellow creative showcase her style, expertise, experience, and luxury services through video. 🎞️

✈️ Plus, I’ll always take an excuse to travel to gorgeous places and chase the sun. Throw in reuniting with Laurel and it was just what my creative soul was craving.
cf with .official was a breeze to work with (wishing you the best of luck welcoming your sweet baby so soon). 🎀

🌊 Speaking of, the breeze in that gown had me either: blown away in complete silence or literally hollering in excitement. It was made to be photographed on the Oceanside cliffs. It’s also available to rent in Laurel’s client closet. 😉
