Thanks to COVID, Remi and John are actually my first booked wedding of 2022. These two planned their USNA wedding but opted to get married just feet away from their OG wedding venue.

Right now, a lot of my couples are unsure how to navigate their wedding plans. The aspect of these conversations that really breaks my heart is when couples are hesitant to celebrate with a small ceremony because they feel it might take away from their big wedding celebration in the future. 💍 Firstly, I understand […]
