From the first time I met these two, I knew I had found my wedding soulmates.

Upon our first meeting in May 2019, I just fell in love with Lauren, Stephen, and their daughter Evie. I was also shocked that the first thing they told me was that they had just found out hours before our meeting that they were expecting baby #2. I felt I was immediately part of their family with the sharing of this exciting news.

As we got to know one another, I feel such a connection to Lauren. From finding out we basically were living the same life, from going to the same high school and college to just our overall personality I felt like we were the same person. If you would spend 10 minutes with us you would totally understand.

Originally, we planned their wedding at Rock Creek Gardens for September 2020. But as we got closer to their wedding, we knew we had to switch gears due to the pandemic and rescheduled for May 2021. I am so grateful for these two. They rolled with all the punches thrown their way and just were total rock stars.

Very little changed in terms of planning going from a fall to spring wedding and we had assembled a dream vendor team who really outdid themselves to create the wedding these two really deserved.

I loved everything about their wedding design. From the color palette of white, green, and a hint of gold and how we translated it to their reception. From the velvet linens to the over the top centerpieces, this wedding has become one of my all-time favorites.

Throughout our nearly 2 years of planning their wedding, I really got to know this family and so grateful to have met such incredible people that truly have become such great friends.

Thank you Lauren + Stephen was choosing me to part of your family.
