The weekend is near and we are just a few days away from the Logan’s vow renewal celebration! Angelica of Utopian Events introduced me to Ninma and we hit it off instantly! Meeting Ninma and her husband, Dietrich, was like connecting with an extension of my family! It’s been such an honor to work with them over the past year!

Dietrich is an award-winning architect and the owner of Logan Design Group and Ninma is an educational consultant. Ninma and Dietrich met on the field during a sporting event with their sons. Their connection blossomed into a beautiful friendship which eventually led to love. Upon meeting Ninma and Dietrich and their beautiful blended family, you’d think they’ve been together forever! Their vow renewal celebration is a true testament of love their for each other and those around them! Here’s a peek at their vow renewal photo session courtesy of Inije Photography:

Stay tuned for a peek at Ninma and Dietrich’s intimate and sophisticated vow renewal celebration at a private estate in Sandy Springs!

Hello Friends!  I hope your 2019 is off to a great start!  In honor of today being Founders’ Day for Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated, I’d love to share Stephanie and Winston’s engagement session!  Our beautiful bride, Stephanie, is an AKA and a district judge in Dallas County.  Our dapper groom, Winston, is a patent lawyer and a member of Omega Psi Phi!

Stephanie and Winston met in December 2016 during happy hour at a local restaurant!  After being introduced by a mutual friend, Stephanie passed along her business card and shortly after, they went out on their first date!  Coffee quickly transitioned to cocktails and cigars (Winston’s favorite) and the rest is history!  The soon-to-be Mr. and Mrs. were introduced to me by Kenneth and Jessica, one of my amazing 2016 couples!

It has been such a pleasure to assist this dynamic duo with planning their wedding celebration in Atlanta (Winston’s hometown)!  I am super excited about all that’s in store for their spring nuptials!  Here’s a peek at their Dallas engagement session courtesy of the talented Andre Brown Photography:

Stay tuned for a peek at Stephanie and Winston’s intimate wedding celebration later this year!  Cheers to sweet love!

XOXO

P.S. I am not a member of a sorority but I’m so thankful for all of the sorority sisters (and fraternity bothers) who trust me to plan one of the most important days of their life!  My sweet brides always treat me as if I’m one of the girls!

Happy Thursday!  We are in the midst finalizing details for Cortney and Billye’s mid-August wedding celebration at The Room On Main!  It’s been such a pleasure to work with this sweet couple (especially since the Cortney is from Michigan too)!

Cortney and Billye’s love story began in 2012 when they both worked for the same auto finance company but in different departments.  One fateful day, they crossed paths on their way to lunch and they’ve been inseparable ever since!  Best friends transitioned to true love and now the #NewCobbsOnTheBlock are preparing to walk down the aisle!  (I was born in the 80s so I LOVE their hashtag!)Here’s a peek at their Dallas engagement session courtesy of the talented James Willis Photography:

It’ll be wheels up to Dallas in just a few weeks!  Stay tuned for a peek at their wedding photos from James Willis and their and video courtesy of Inspired Effects!  I’m so excited to see all of the planning come to fruition!

Happy Friday!  It’s wheels up to Dallas as we prepare to celebrate Adrienne and Michael’s wedding weekend!  I met Adrienne’s sister, Megan, at a wedding industry workshop years back!  When Megan reached out to me regarding Adrienne’s engagement, I was super excited and honored that she trusted me with her sister’s wedding plans!

Adrienne and Michael met during an exciting evening of celebrating in St. Louis with frat brothers and sorority sisters!  They met for lunch the next day, bonded over a Steve Harvey comedy show, and the rest is history!  Adrienne and Michael currently reside in Kansas but decided to tie the knot in Adrienne’s hometown!  We’ve been planning their modern romantic wedding day at the W Dallas Hotel for the past year so I look forward to seeing all of the details come together!  Here’s a peek at the soon-to-be newlyweds’ engagement session with James Willis Photography!

Adrienne and Michael are such a beautiful couple!  They decided to pass on a first look so I can’t wait to see the look in Michael’s eyes as he watches his bride walk down the aisle tomorrow!  Stay tuned for a peek at wedding day photos from James Willis Photography and a wedding film courtesy of Inspired Effects!

Happy Wednesday!  You never know when you’re going to meet the one!  As luck would have it, Amber and Grafton both attended the University of Pennsylvania but they didn’t meet on campus!  They met while on spring break in Nassau, Bahamas – Grafton’s hometown!  Amber was traveling with her roommates and Grafton was home for a week with members of his track team!  After meeting at a local hotspot, Bahama Boom, they clicked instantly and the rest is history!

I was elated when Amber and Grafton chose Ebony Peoples Events & Design as their wedding planner!  It was such a pleasure to assist a couple with so much style and so much class!  This power couple exchanged vows this past weekend during an intimate ceremony and fun-filled reception at Ashton Gardens Dallas!

Kathryn did an awesome job!  I can’t wait to check out Amber and Grafton’s wedding day photos!  Stay tuned for a peek!

I met Kimberly a few years ago while shopping at Caché.  We instantly clicked and she became my stylist!  Whenever I needed attire for an event or just because, Kim would take great care of me!  She said, “Whenever my boyfriend and I are ready to get married, I’ll call you!”  As a wedding planner, I often hear that but shortly after Wilmer proposed, Kim reached out to me, shared the BIG news, and the wedding planning journey began!  Wil proposed with an emerald ring!  This is extremely special because emerald is Kim’s birthstone and one of the major exports of their native country, Colombia!  I am looking forward to their wedding celebration this Saturday at Nuvo Room!  Fun times are definitely ahead!!  Here’s a peek at some of their engagement photos courtesy of Monica Salazar Photography:

Stay tuned for a peek at Kim and Wil’s wedding photos!

Today is a great day for a wedding celebration at The Room on Main!  I have had the pleasure of assisting Rachel and Caleb with planning their wedding celebration since shortly after Caleb popped the question!  (Rachel’s mom secretly reached out to me after Caleb approached her parents to ask for her hand in marriage.  I sat in anticipation on the night of the proposal waiting for the big reveal!)  Wedding day is here and I’m super excited about all that’s in store for the soon-to-be newlyweds!  Here’s a peek at Rachel and Caleb’s engagement session with Monica Salazar Photography!

Cheers to sweet love!!  Stay tuned for a peek at Rachel and Caleb’s wedding day photos!!
