• OUR STORY •
Loren and I met in the super romantic way, that many of us do today...on Hinge. After our first date at Druther's we just hit it off. I never felt like I needed to change a thing about myself to impress Loren or feel comfortable with him. That is what I love the most about him. We can be ourselves with each other – fully.
Loren proposed to me on a hike that we did on one of our first dates (where I introduced him to my dog Penny who fell absolutely in love with him!), and for anybody who knows her, knows that is as rare as it gets.
When planning our wedding we wanted the focus to be like our relationship, having the ability to be and feel fully ourselves and just enjoy the day. We opted for what is considered a smaller wedding to relieve the pressure of working the room and making sure we greeted each guest. It also allowed me to execute the visual details as I enjoy doing, without stressing over other elements many other weddings have.
We could not have asked for a better wedding day. We were surrounded by 60 of our closest family members and friends and the room still felt as full as can be, in the best way possible.

• ADVICE TO PASS ALONG •
Focus on how you want your wedding to feel not how you want it to appear. Everything will come together so much when you attach a feeling or vibe to your planning. At the end of the day it is all about how you felt on your special day and not how every little thing looked. Your overall intention and vibe will shine through.
