A close friend asked me to officiate at their wedding. It felt like such an honor to be part of their special moment, it inspired me - their relationship is beautiful. And I wanted to continue to help others in this way.

I’m from Utah - raised in Davis County. But was blessed to raise my son in the sun, by the virgin river and red rock canyons of Southern Utah.

I really want to surround you and your guests with love and happiness on your big day. I hope to create an atmosphere of warmth that truly reflects your unique love story.

I grew up going to church with my family, and I value the sense of community religion’s provide. I am deeply spiritual. It’s all about love and connection for me, and I aim to carry that into everything I do. I am comfortable including religious touches into your ceremony. And I can just as easily create a ceremony without any religious overtones. I am spiritual - and believe love echoes within these moments.

I was a wedding photographer for 5 years. That role gave me a unique perspective on how meaningful these moments are. It also gave me insight on how important the role of the officiant is - I love learning about how couples connect with each other and giving your guests a glimpse into that connection. I have studied how to amplify others stories and will seamlessly translate that knowledge into your day.

I’m up for traveling anywhere for a wedding (everything is negotiable, right?)! I have participated in ceremonies in: Island Park, Zion, Lake Powell, Texas, Florida, Aruba Vancouver, B.C., Backyards, Campsites, Churches, Libraries and even Living Rooms. Each story has left an imprint on me, I love helping to create special moments no matter where they happen.

I want the ceremony to feel authentic to who you are as a couple. I take time to really understand your story so that I can create something beautiful and personal for you.
