WHERE WE BEGIN

01.

After you fill out the inquiry form, it’s time to connect. This phase is about listening to your dreams and desires, as well as the feelings that you’d love to experience on your day. We’ll discuss the emotional tone and the moments that really matter to you more than anything else.

Once we have decided that we are a great fit for each other, I will send you a bespoke proposal based on your needs and a contract for you to sign. From that moment we’ll start shaping an experience that allows you to feel at ease and enriches you with dreamy imagery to cherish for a lifetime.

REFINEMENT

02.

Now we are bringing ideas to the table and starting to craft a moodboard together that represents your dream vision. We are narrowing down options starting from the location to the smallest details. Together, we are shaping an experience around your desires, allowing a clear vision to emerge.

We’ll finalize a timeline that allows you to remain anchored in the present moment while ensuring there is ample time for everything that’s important to you.

THE JOYFUL UNION

03.

It’s time to let go and enjoy every moment of your day. As the creative director, I’ll guide you when needed, and at other times simply document the unfolding moment with soul—all while staying in a calm, present and heart-centered space. One of the reasons you chose to create an intimate celebration is to savor the intimacy and freedom of your union, not to rush through a tight timeline—and I’d love to honor that.

LOOKING BACK

04.

A beautifully curated, private online gallery will be presented to you that tells your story with reverence. Along with that, I’ll hold space for you to immerse yourself in the fullness of this rite of passage by crafting an heirloom album where your memories unfold again and again, each time you hold it in your hands.
