A few years ago I came across this phrase... "It's a beautiful thing when a career and a passion come together." Reading it I realized how true it is, and how blessed I am. I am so passionate about making every aspect of a couple's dream day come to life. I live for the love stories, the Pinterest boards, and those bittersweet end-of-the-wedding-day hugs where we are both so happy about how everything turned out, and so sad we won't be planning together anymore.

In working with OKOTA I've always wanted couples to feel like they have really built a relationship with a friend. Over several months we will have sent countless emails, calls, and texts, and we will have developed a trust so that you can feel like the vision of your wedding day is in the hands of someone who truly cares. 

Whether OKOTA is your photographer, videographer, your floral designer, your invitation designer, or if we are lucky enough to do all of the above, you can feel confident and comfortable that my team and I know you, what you love, and how to make it happen :)

A little more about me...

I have earned degrees in graphic design as well as photography from Xavier University. In 2014 I received my International Wedding Planning Certification from QC Event School, and set out with the goal of building a wedding business that offered a whole new level of ease and comfort for busy couples trying to plan their dream weddings AND enjoy their engagement.

I planned my own special day in August of 2017, and am now over the moon to be married to my best friend and high school sweetheart, Kris. Now, we have two fur babies we are absolutely obsessed with, Willow and Winston, and welcomed our daughter Harper in 2o24. Learn more about me and OKOTA below!
