Alex + Cris | Seagate Beach Club

Alex is a light and she loves her people with every ounce of her being. Cris looks at her with total wonder struck across his face every single time. He is calm and steady, creating an energetic balance we all hope to find in a partner. This was their magical wedding day.

There are some clients I hop on the phone with and by the end of the call I know we’re going to make some wedding magic happen. Alex was definitely one of those brides. I spent the majority of our 45 minute call laughing and feeling like I was talking to one of my life long friends. She’s just a fireball of energy that doesn’t quit. She’s a light and she loves her people with every ounce of her being. Cris looks at her with total wonder struck across his face every single time. He is calm and steady, creating an energetic balance we all hope to find in a partner. Plus, on top of it all they just straight up glow when they are next to one another. The amount of love they share for each other clearly extends right on over into their group of friends and family. They traveled in from New England to celebrate an undeniable love in their favorite city by the sea.

On a personal note, I thought this was going to be one of the last weddings I designed. I had moved to Oregon a few weeks before connecting with Alex, and was pondering hitting the pause button on my business, but their wedding changed all of that for me. Their excitement, the warm hugs they offered when we met for the first time the day before their wedding in a parking lot, the supportive messages along the way, and the notes of utter and complete joy following the wedding recharged me. I fell in love with weddings and this floral business all over again and for that I’m forever grateful to Alex and Cris. Congrats you two, I can’t wait to visit and drink rosé with you on a porch in New England sometime soon!

Allyson + Justin | The Seagate Beach Club

Allyson + Justin’s generosity and genuine excitement over the entire day, and their love for one another will always be a little moment that I treasure. These photographs feel like a breath of fresh air, just like the love they share for one another and shared with their closest friends and family that day.

When I say I have the best clients I genuinely mean it, and Allyson and Justin are just another example. I'll always fondly remember our phone calls, design meetings, and the creative freedom they both gave me. The night of their wedding, as I was breaking down, Allyson ran over to me and said she really hoped I would be there and she'd be able to see me. She yelled "Justin" from across the room, and ran over to grab him. They both gushed about how perfect their day was, expressing that is really was the best day of their lives. They were thrilled with the flowers and gave me the warmest hugs. I rarely have those moments with the couple after the dancing ends and the guests start to board trolleys. Their generosity and genuine excitement over the entire day, and their love for one another will always be a little moment that I treasure. These pictures feel like a breath of fresh air, just like the love they share for one another and shared with their closest friends and family that day.
