YOUR STORIES

A Romantic Candlelit Rehearsal Dinner in Dallas

filed in:

I love being apart of rehearsal dinners. There’s this excitement and anticipation in the air, but also a sort of unspoken peace. The room is filled with so many stories all at once. I step back, partaking in the role of the observer, exploring a perspective other than my own.

Alexandra and Sean’s evening was so beautifully put together and full of memories I know they’ll cherish for all their life. It was simple, yet incredibly intentional. A plated 5 course meal coupled with conversations overflowing with love and encouragement, this night was sparkling.

I spend a lot of my time reminiscing on the best memories, ready to create more. My hope is that my work creates that sense of nostalgia for you. The kind of feeling you wanna relive over and over again- front of the fridge, living room wall worthy.

I love madly in details. 

I love the smell of vanilla candles and the air when it’s crisp just before a fall rainstorm. I love the way that the sky turns all sorts of orange and pink when the sun’s going down. I’ll spend an hour at the store just to make sure I find you the perfect birthday card, and then I’ll probably end up buying two anyways. I’m fascinated by how the waves in the ocean are never ending and if you were to ask what inspires me, I’d say storytelling in all of its many different art forms.

Inspired by sunsets, nostalgia, the stories that make up antique stores, and most of all 

you.
