My Story

For the past year, I've been living in Rio Rancho, NM as a stay-at-home mom with my beautiful daughter, Iris and loving husband, Alex. Previous to this year, I was working remotely with wildlife conservation organization - Action for Cheetahs in Kenya - after finishing my Master's degree at Colorado State University in 2019 in Fort Collins, Colorado. I love animals and people and I found joy in working to help people co-exist with animals, like cheetahs, in the wild.

​

So what led me down the path to wedding planning? 

​

In 2021, I got engaged to my now-husband after we dated for 8 years. After many years of waiting until we were ready to have our dream wedding - the planning started! I've always loved planning events - parties for birthdays, Halloween, Christmas, Thanksgiving (and don't forget Friendsgiving!) - and this was the ultimate party, just for us. I was excited! We planned our wedding for a Wednesday - Our Anniversary - and kept it small (about 50 people). One of our closest friends officiated as my husband's brothers' and my loving friends stood by our side and our closest support system and community looked on with joy on their faces. It was everything we ever dreamed of for our wedding - and I had an incredible time planning it. From researching vendors, to planning the little details and making sure our guests were comfortable. I want to help other brides and families have the joy of experiencing the wedding of their dreams come to life in the same way I did.
