"How you gonna win if you ain't right within"
There's so much more
I've been serving couples with major hype girl vibes for their New Orleans weddings since 2011. The main event is giving you solid moments that you can never duplicate if you tried...all to make you feel YOUR love (in my best Adele voice). It's having a creative mindset, an assertive bubbly personality to tackle the many personalities a wedding day brings, being a cheerleader for love of any kind and cutting up with your people on the dancefloor.
Being able to give you the freedom to live in the moment while documenting it for you to re-live is it for me.

I started this business in 2011 after my husband and I's one year anniversary trip to Napa Valley. We got married on the beach in 2010 and it was a beautiful ceremony, but I didn't take my time with planning at all. I just wanted to marry Matthew, that was it. The downfall to that was that our photographs from our wedding suffered and it is something I regret to this day. I made a promise to myself from that moment that I would commit to documenting life as it unfolds not just for me, but for others. I don't want you to feel the way that I felt looking at my wedding photographs. My clients keep me inspired and they are a constant reminder of how much joy and work it takes to stay married to the love of your life.
I aim to provide you with a luxury experience that is also FUN. I never take myself too seriously and love impromptu dance parties...even the day of your wedding.

My off days consist of one (sometimes all) of these things: family and friend time, pizza, wine, brunch, champagne and exploring. When I'm in busy season, I love wine nights in and hot tub nights...along with pizza. I mean, is there ever a bad time for pizza? The Sicilian in me shows .
I generally never take myself seriously and I just love making people laugh so much that their face hurts. I am a giver and it has been rewarding figuring out how to scale that back a bit so I am not stressed by others. Let's just say it has been a process. I love to be outside but not in an active outdoor (hunting, fishing, working out etc) type way...more like leisurely being outside. Think festivals, city walks, bar hopping, picnics and park visits. The one thing that bugs me the most is when people don't pick up their grocery carts.

I just LOVE weddings. They are glorious, but stressful, beautiful, full of emotion, and most importantly they symbolize two people promising to be a team forever. My main goal is to get to know you as a couple and really help create the ideal environment that will help you both be comfortable the day of your wedding so your love story can take center stage. I thrive on organic moments and love to capture them in a romantic way. I provide a luxury service while still remaining easily approachable. Just enough bougie to make you look and feel like a million dollars, but not so much bougie that you can't talk to me.
The good stuff y'all.
This is such an important day for you, and your wedding should be represented in its truest most beautiful form. Trust me and we can make magic together.

As much as I love this kick ass job of mine, being a wife and a mom is by far the best. I actually believe that welcoming our daughter into the world has helped me better balance my work/home life, which helps me better serve you.
My daughter Kerrington and I are pretty much best friends and I love watching her experience this crazy world first hand. I hope she is proud of me and realizes that hard work can be rewarding. I hope I teach her to follow her dreams, no matter how big they may seem. if you ever want to see the sass in real time, check out my instagram stories!

In my off time, there are many things I enjoy, but this one is just for me to have fun and experiment without being paid to do so. I can't explain it, but making interesting and delicious cocktails is something I truly enjoy to do. Ask any of my friends! I seriously am constantly coming up with new drinks and making everyone try it. The good thing is my friends are never mad at trying a new cocktail!
I hope to make a blog post soon to share all my secrets with you. Just call me a freelance mixologist. Ha!

Traveling has been on my husband and I's bucket list for years and our daughter is finally at an age where we feel like we can. We try to take one trip for us three and then one for a date getaway.
Traveling isn't ONLY for personal things though. We also love to travel for weddings. So if you are planning a wedding abroad or even in another state, I want to hear from you!

We are huge foodies!! My husband loves to cook. He watches the food network habitually, and on the weekends you can find him creating some pretty amazing dishes.
That doesn't stop us from going out to eat though! We try to have date night once a week. Our current favorite places in the New Orleans area, are: Auction House Market, Katie's, Gianna and Oak Oven in Harahan.
