Experience
As a child, Kim dreamed of becoming a CNN news anchor. After beginning her career in television journalism, Kim quickly pivoted to magazine and digital media with a particular focus in service journalism. She interned at Washingtonian magazine and was soon managing the publication’s fact-checking department. It was at Washingtonian that she started writing about weddings and loved how the subject matter combined many of her interests—fashion, music, decor, food, relationships, and more.
After receiving her masters degree from the Columbia Graduate School of Journalism in New York, Kim landed a job as an assistant editor at Conde Nast’s Brides Local magazines and Brides.com, where she worked for five years, eventually becoming the publication’s associate fashion editor. Kim then returned to the DC area and Washingtonian, where she was the magazine’s associate bridal editor.
Education
Kim is a proud graduate of Williams College in Western Massachusetts (Go Ephs!), where she majored in English. While in college, Kim interned at News 12 Long Island and Good Morning America. She also spent a semester at Boston University’s Washington Journalism Center, where she covered politics for the Keene Sentinel and interned at Hearst-Argyle Television.

Set a date and book your venue before choosing your attire.

Dream celebrity wedding guest?
I’m the biggest James Taylor fan and having him perform at my wedding would have been an absolute dream come true.
Best wedding after party snack?
There’s nothing better than making (and eating!) s’mores around a fire with all your best friends.
