Gen and Joe were referred to my by an old friend from the Midwest. I love referrals. Usually, this means we already have similar ideas, interests, and most importantly… friends. We met for coffee in SF and quickly bonded over our moves to California, family, nature, and adventures. It was on. We pulled together the most magical, foresty, redwoods, outdoor wedding chock-full of candles, flowers, and love. Thank you to Teri B for capturing it brilliantly.

Jillie, a real life ballerina and Michael, a tough businessman with a weakness for his ballerina, came to me only about 6 months out from their desired wedding date. Jillie wanted a magical fairy garden and Michael wanted an outdoor space to dance the night away. I knew the place straightaway. I presented them with the Pythian House in Santa Rosa.
Read MoreBrian + Katie Philo Glamp Wedding →
When Brian and Katie found me, we set out to plan the most badass amazing wedding of their dreams at a place in Mendocino County in Northern California called The Land. The venue was amazing. A sprawling retreat with cabins and houses and hiking trails through the redwoods and to the river. I had conveniently been here before, but man were we in for a challenge. We wanted a welcome festival under the magic tree for Friday, a wedding (obviously) on Saturday, and a farewell brunch on Sunday. So many things, so much love, so many memories.

Kellie and Bobby! I love these babes. They traveled from Utah to come hang out and get married on Baker Beach in SF. They asked me to officiate their wedding in front of a handful of family and friends and make sure I quoted Hootie in the ceremony vows. They gave me complete floral freedom (what dreams are made of) and showed up ready to rock. This was one of the most special elopements I’ve ever gotten to be a part of.
Read MoreBrianna + Vince Intimate Destination Wedding in Portugal →
This wedding is pretty darn close to what all wedding dreams are made of. Situated in beautiful Sintra, Portugal lies The Palace of Monserrate, an exotic palatial villa and World Heritage Site. The ceremony was held in the ruins in the most picturesque setting you could ever imagine (see pictures for proof)! After the ceremony, guests headed back to The Quinta where live musicians, hors d'oeuvres, and plenty of cocktails were waiting. A beautiful 4 course dinner was served in the fireplace room and dancing commenced just one room over. We danced until the sun came up and we'll never forget this experience!

My very best friends asked me to officiate their stateside wedding before we headed off to Portugal for the big one.

One of the most special days <3
