I originally became ordained because I believe love stories deserve more than a checklist ceremony. I wanted to be able to stand with couples in one of the most sacred, joyful, emotional moments of their lives and help create something that feels heartfelt, personal, spiritual, and beautifully them.

Choosing the person who stands with you on one of the most meaningful days of your life matters.

As an ordained minister, my heart is to create a wedding ceremony that feels personal, heartfelt, and true to who you are as a couple. Whether your vision is romantic and traditional, boho and barefoot, faith-filled and sacred, lighthearted and fun, or a beautiful blend of it all, I bring warmth, intention, and joy to the moment.

I believe marriage is more than a ceremony. It is a covenant, a commitment, and a sacred beginning. My goal is to help create a space where you feel seen, celebrated, grounded, and fully present as you step into this next chapter together.

I bring a mix of faith, spirituality, humor, calm energy, and genuine love for people. I am not here to make your ceremony feel scripted or stiff. I am here to help make it feel like you — meaningful, memorable, and filled with the kind of energy your guests will feel long after the vows are spoken.

Whether you are exchanging vows in a backyard, on a beach, in the mountains, at a venue, or somewhere beautifully unexpected, I would be honored to stand with you and help bring your ceremony to life with grace, joy, and a whole lot of heart.

I live up on Alder Lake by Mount Rainier. I love doing mountain weddings and that last minute "let's do this" weddings. I would be willing to travel a longer distance and we can certainly work that out.
