I met Dani attending a few WIPA meetings in New York. She was always so welcoming and friendly. However, once I started following her on Instagram, I saw how amazing talented she is. Dani’s strong sense of color and design were apparent in all of her work. Without further ado, I am excited to give some well-deserved attention to Dani Chou of PETALS BY DANI!

I met Jason a few years ago working on a micro wedding at Wythe Hotel. As great planners do, he kept all the plates spinning in the air, as he moved gracefully between the couple, the hotel staff and the guests. Without further ado, I’d love to shine a big ol’ spotlight on JASON MITCHELL KAHN!

I first learned about MG Hair & Makeup at The Love Union. Each of their artists always showed such care and skill. Finally at this past Love Union, I had the honor to meet MG herself. Without further ado, I am so excited to shine a little light on Megan Garmers from mg hair & makeup!

I met Erin in my local Tuesday’s Together group and share her sentiment about weddings being so special.

Kate is all about support and inclusivity in our community. It’s that sense of care and encouragement that ground her photography. Well, that and an eye for vibrant color, amazing creativity and genuine emotions. I am thrilled to shine some well deserved light onto Kate Bancroft-Wells of KATE ALISON PHOTOGRAPHY!

I met Brent a few years ago. While he’s a quiet guy, his music speaks volumes. He tends to really take in the room and play the PERFECT song, at the perfect time. I’ve seen it at fashion shows, in Zoom meetings, and when people just need to get on the dance floor and let loose! I am beyond thrilled to shine a little light on Brent Fierro of EMPANADAMN.

I met Cara Schmidt at a Tuesdays Together meeting in January 2018. In fact, it was the first meeting for both us.

Without further ado, I’d love to introduce you to Cara from THREE NOTCH FLORALS!

I not only get to work with couples during a very special time of their lives, but have the opportunity to collaborate with some wonderful wedding professionals. Nicki is one amazing photographer. I am so excited to shine some well-deserved light on NICKI FIETZER of DE NUEVA PHOTOGRAPHY!
