As I look back on 2025, I’m filled with equal parts gratitude, reflection, and quiet excitement for what’s ahead.

2025 was, without question, one of the most challenging years of my life. It was a year marked by surrender, mourning, and—eventually—rejoicing. As someone who spends much of her time immersed in the most joyful moments of a wedding day, there were seasons where it felt incredibly heavy to scroll through these beautiful celebrations of love while simultaneously watching my own marriage come to an end.

And yet, I’m deeply grateful for the perspective that season gave me. It reshaped my heart and mindset in ways I couldn’t have anticipated. It reminded me that a wedding lasts a day, but a marriage is meant to echo into eternity. That reminder is already influencing how I show up for others—and it’s something I plan to explore more intentionally in 2026.

55 Wedding & Editorial Features in 2025

In the midst of personal challenges, it has been helpful to look at facts over feelings. I'm thrilled to look back and see the fruit of pushing through those difficult season. Together with some of the most talented wedding planners and photographers in the industry, we secured 55 wedding and editorial features across leading publications.

A true highlight was landing the cover of Inside Weddings Winter 2026 issue, featuring Robin Thicke and April Love Geary’s wedding—a milestone I’m incredibly proud of and deeply thankful for.

Publications Clients Were Featured In

Over the past year, client work was featured in an inspiring range of print and digital publications, including:

• Over The Moon

• WedLuxe

• Inside Weddings (print + online)

• Wedding Sparrow

• Destination I Do

Each feature represents not just a publication win, but a story thoughtfully told and a creative team working in harmony. A sweet little something to note is the number of brides who reached out directly seeking coverage for their wedding, not just for sentimental reasons, but also to sing the praises of their vendor team.

Looking Ahead to 2026

As we step into a new year, my vision is expanding. While wedding PR will always be about visibility, storytelling, and thoughtful wedding press placement, I feel a growing call to help couples—and the creatives who serve them—remember the heart behind the celebration.

I’m not entirely sure what this will look like yet, but I know this: in 2026, I want to continue championing work that feels meaningful, grounded, and intentional—not just visually stunning.

Thank you to every client, editor, creative partner, and vendor friend who made 2025 unforgettable. Here’s to a new year of beautiful stories, deeper purpose, and continued growth.
