My true purpose is to create beautiful things-- and I'm so lucky to realize that beautiful things come in all shapes and sizes. It's not just how items look visually but a feeling and in how everything is put together. Weddings are the most incredible combination of both a creative eye, smooth logistics, and a feeling that lasts forever!
In my free time I dabble in film photography and I'm always plotting out my next international trip. (Next up is India with my super cool travel-expert dad!) My wedding day was the best day of my life so far-- and I want that for you! Let's plan it together.

We worked with McKayla from Philocalist for month-of coordination, and I can’t say enough good things about her! She was incredibly responsive and thoughtful—every time a new logis...
tical hiccup came up, I’d email McKayla and she would immediately put my stress at ease. There truly is no obstacle too big for her—she always found a way to solve problems and take the burden off my shoulders.
McKayla brought genuine care, warmth, and confidence to the process, and I, my now husband, and my family felt we could fully trust her to guide the day. McKayla is also a pro at navigating all kinds of family dynamics and personalities with grace. On the day of the wedding, she was a calming, joyful, steady presence. Even during a tornado warning that forced us to delay the start of our ceremony, McKayla handled things flawlessly. We felt safe, taken care of, and somehow even had fun through it all! She also has strong relationships with vendors and was a wealth of knowledge.
My husband, my family, and I cannot imagine the wedding day without McKayla. She took all of the stress off of our plates, prioritized our experience, and made sure that the day was everything we wanted it to be!

Amazing amazing amazing! McKayla is worth her weight in gold. I hired her for month-of coordination and she made the last couple of months (which should/would be the most stressful...
time) an absolute breeze. When we got together for our first in person meeting, it confirmed I made the right choice. She is so warm and kind and fun to work with but she also has that Type-A doesn’t forget a single detail thing going too. I knew I wouldn’t have to worry about a thing and I was right!
Fast forward to the weekend of my wedding, so many family members and friends commented how great it was to have someone running the show who knew exactly what needed to be done and when. On the day of, I was able to relax and enjoy the day. She kept us updated on the timeline but we never felt rushed or stressed- we just went with the flow and had the most beautiful and happy day and it’s thanks in such large part to McKayla. Please believe me when I say you NEED her for your wedding! I could go on and on!

McKayla was an absolute dream to work with! From our very first meeting, she put me completely at ease and helped me think through details I hadn’t even considered. Her communicati...
on throughout the entire month leading up to our wedding was exceptional, and she was a total rockstar on the big day! She brought my vision to life effortlessly—without me lifting a finger—and handled multiple last-minute hiccups with total grace and calm. I’m so grateful for her kindness, professionalism, and the genuine joy she brings to her work. We truly couldn’t have had the magical wedding day we did without her!

wedding day COMPLETELY stress free. No one asked me a single question all day (about where to put xyz, when something needed to happen) because she was there taking care of it all. Even my now husband commented on how amazing she did! We love McKayla!
