Our Wedding / Hiring a Coordinator
I’m a day late BUT I wanted to talk today about the importance of hiring a wedding coordinator/planner. Waaaay before we even got engaged I knew I was going to hire a coordinator one way or another. I’ve been to enough weddings to know that having one is 1,081,932,387% worth it and I wanted to make sure that our wedding runs as smoothly as possible. Fast forward to our engagement and the wedding planning process, the Beijos girls and I had been working together for about six months by then and I loved them, loved their vibe and I knew we would be the perfect fit…and boy was I right!…

our proposal
What I thought was just a floral shoot I was modeling for turned into our proposal! Adam tricked me that day into thinking he was working when really he was hiding behind an oak tree just up the path from where I was. Scroll down to see all of the photos and to find the link to learn how it all went down from both sides. Well brides, I’m now one of you! It’s wild to be on this side of the whole wedding thing and I am beyond thrilled to plan our own wedding! On November 20th Adam got down on one knee and asked me to spend the…
