It’s so easy to shit on the
extravagance of weddings,
but I think it’s cool that you
get to throw a giant party
to celebrate yourself and
this random person you met
and realized you couldn’t
live without.
Nontraditional doesn’t mean abandoning traditions—it's about reimagining them with intention.

I love that couples come to me and throw out tradition and bring in their own original ideas.
I love working with couples who are intentional about their day. Whether it’s choosing to not do a First Look or deciding to get ready together, I admire that my couples honor what they want and not what society (or the Internet) thinks they should.
I’ve worked with brides who entered their ceremony together in a homemade cardboard rocketship.
I had another bride wear the big white gown and walk down with her father while a string ensemble played “Canon D.” One couple started the day with a traditional Chinese tea ceremony and ended it with a t-shirt toss that turned their guests feral. And don’t get me started on how many couples incorporate Dungeons & Dragons into their wedding.
I don’t want your wedding to be the best day of your life.
I want it to be a really awesome fucking day that is about you from start to finish.
Some call it nontraditional, but I prefer to say I do weddings that have personality–your personality.
