I don’t know how to start this blog so I’ll just start with this: Linda and Lance are SO creative. Linda: a seamstress, screenwriter, prop stylist…Lance, a competitive free diver (Yes: you read that correctly), spear fisherman, model, actor, chef. When they hired our team to make their wedding come to life, they invited me over for dinner for Sashimi. I, being from Washington, the land of the best seafood, was…honestly not expecting to get any good seafood in Los Angeles but I complied. OH MY GOD was I proven wrong.

Paul taught me how to poach an egg in 2010. He was over at my house where I lived with 5 other girls and naturally that’s what you do when hanging out. I’ll never forget him giving me the reasoning for adding white vinegar…whirlpool-ing the water, and then drop the egg in and turn the water down to a slow simmer.

When I think about Erica and Mike’s wedding the first word that comes to mind is: FUN. I had a pleasure of working with them while they were living in Washington DC and with demanding jobs, they would fly out to California a couple of times and we would do a marathon of meetings to finalize the planning.

Katie + Nick were on to something. This event was in the fall of 2015 and Katie came to be with her plan: no dinner tables, a ton of lounge rentals, and a dance party. She wanted everyone to feel relaxed and not tied to a table for hours at their event. I was a little worried due to the guests maybe not understanding this alternative approach to a wedding but I went with it and made sure Katie was sure with her vision.

I think back to the first time I worked with Lauren Scotti and I believe this event was it. Lauren is the most chill photographer out there. Her work is unmatched and has a killer eye for styling. Often times when I have spent loads of energy to produce an event, I hope that the day of the photographer can be able to shoot the details in the way they deserve.

Ari was a photographer of one of my first big events under Carly Rae Weddings back many moons ago. This is a classic story of a client believing in me before maybe I even believed in myself. When Ari became engaged to Matt, she reached out to me seeking our planning services for both the rehearsal dinner and the day of the wedding.
