Andrew & Chandler
I couldn't have asked for a more perfect weather day for the outdoor wedding ceremony of Andrew and Chandler. They married in an intimate elopement ceremony at the gorgeous Whitestone Reserve ​in Austell, GA on a beautiful early Fall afternoon. They asked me for a simple, traditional ceremony so the wording and ceremony elements reflected this. The result was the most beautiful, personal ceremony where their love truly shone throughout. To stand with a couple, just the three of us, in such an intimate moment and beautiful space was a joy.

Keely & Gianni
Keely and Gianni have a very special place in my heart as the first couple to book me when I moved from the UK to the USA! Our meetings over coffee to discuss and plan their ceremony were full of love and laughter so I knew that theirs would be a very special ceremony for me. Standing in the beautiful ceremony space at Four Oaks Manor at dusk, we had the most magical space for their union. The ceremony began with a lighthearted telling of their love story as well as sharing with their love ones all of the hopes and dreams they had for their marriage. And with

Cuban and Irish backgrounds, it was essential that we honor this heritage. We included a traditional 'Arras' or coin ceremony, followed by a 'cloaking' with Gianni's grandmothers' own bridal shawl. This symbolic gesture not only represented the passing down of family traditions but also signified their commitment to envelop each other in love, warmth, and unwavering support.The highlight for me though was a beautiful hand fasting ceremony. A custom made cord with colored cords chosen by the couple and their parents bound them together as they spoke their vows and then we 'sealed' those vows as they pulled the cord to 'tie the knot'! I know that the journey together of this beautiful couple be filled with endless love, laughter, and cherished memories, as they continue to write the next chapters of their love story.

Jenny & Jake
My goodness, I loved these two! They had so much fun-loving energy which enabled me to write the most wonderful ceremony script for their ceremony at the gorgeous Wildflower Barn in Alpharetta, GA. They and their guests laughed from start to finish as I told their love story and as they spoke their light hearated but beautiful vows to one another, Jake's including jokes that were so bad they were good (as you can see from my face!) As a huge Swiftie, Jenny was delighted with the 'Taylor Touches' I managed to weave into the ceremony! I came away from their ceremony completely full of their overwhelming joy and happiness at being married and still smile every single time I think of their gorgeous ceremony!

Ashley & John
After connecting straight away at a bridal show, I was delighted that Ashley and John asked me to officiate their wedding for them and was especially delighted when they said the ceremony would be at the stunning Ashton Gardens in Alpharetta. The glass chapel was flooded with soft, twilight light and further enhanced with the glow of candles as this lovely couple stood together to be married.
We included a heartfelt but lighthearted telling of their love story before they shared their personal vows with one another. Whilst speaking their vows, their loved ones 'warmed' Ashley & John's wedding rings with their own promises of support for the couple and good wishes for their marriage so that, when they exchanged rings, the couple knew that they had the love of their family with them. They then sealed all of the promises made with the most scared promise of all...a Pinky Promise! This was a beautiful moment that really reflected the personalities of them both and served as a fitting start to what will be a fabulous forever! Ceremony Package ~ Heart of Hearts
Kirsten & Andrew
Summerour Studio in Atlanta was the venue for Kirsten and Andrew's STUNNING wedding! Kirsten's eye for detail meant that every single detail was just perfect resulting in one of the most luxurious, elegant weddings I've been to! But, when it came to the ceremony, she and Andrew were happy to leave the content in my capable hands. They wanted short and sweet so that their 200+ guests could start the celebrations as soon as possible! But they still wanted lots of heart - which, of course, I gave them!
