What made you get into the wedding industry?
In 2010, my husband gifted me a camera for an anniversary present, and it changed our life! He found a passion for photography, boosting his confidence and providing a much-needed creative outlet. He dabbled in shooting events, marketing, family photos and a bit of everything else, but when he shot his first wedding in 2012, everything changed, and he found his creative outlet. From there, we grew that passion into a business. He would shoot weddings, and I managed the office and helped our couples with their wedding planning.
In 2020, I transitioned to a full-time position at Fedora Media and loved it! I love meeting our couples and supporting them every step of the way. Our Fedora Media family grew into the show-stopping team we have now. We have administrative and planning support, photographers, videographers and even a graphic designer. We are here to help our couples with everything they need from start to finish, and love doing it!

What’s the coolest wedding you’ve ever attended?
Honestly, it’s a three-way tie.
In 2018, my husband and I went on a trip to Peru to hike to Machu Picchu. On our journey, we made some wonderful friends from Norway. The following year they reached out to us to come and photograph their sister’s wedding. We had the opportunity to fly to Norway to shoot a beautiful wedding in a castle! We were even able to take some time to explore the country for a second honeymoon.
Fred and Zilla is another one I will never forget. Fred called me to invite us to come out and shoot his wedding that was only two weeks away. After a lovely chat, I learned that he was 94, and his bride-to-be was a younger woman at only 91. They had decided it was time to get married with no time to waste! We were able to help with some planning and even arranged for some complimentary hair and makeup services. Zilla spent the day saying that she felt like a princess. Every time I think of that wedding, it makes me smile.
Zelda’s wedding was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. 2022 was a year like no other in the wedding industry. In the summer, the lovely wedding professionals at Erin Estate Weddings and our team actually had a day off, and what did we do with the time – a doggie wedding! Zelda the rottweiler was a beautiful bride and had a wonderful time with her puppy friends Cliff, Carver and Walker. The puppies, clothing, flowers, and cake were all so amazing. It was near and dear to my heart, and ill never forget it!
What is your favorite wedding trend for 2023?
I love the smaller, more intimate outdoor weddings. I love how much more relaxed and laid back they are and how it’s more focused on the couple. They also tend to have a few fur babies close by, that always makes a special day just a little more special.
What wedding planning advice would you give engaged couples?
Have fun and make it about you. Everything will work out just fine on the day, and remember why you are getting married.
