I’m writing this post spring, 2022 about a decision I’ve made for 2023 and probably beyond! It may seem early to make this announcement but a) I want to give folks fair warning, b) it applies to weddings I book for 2023, and they are

The photos from Jenna and Chuck’s wedding are so beautiful, aren’t they?
