It's my genuine honor and pleasure joining beautiful couples on their wedding day. My ceremonies will uplift you and your guests as we reflect on the love the two of you have built and the exciting new step you're taking into marriage. Let's celebrate love!
Away from the altar, you can find me leading student and public tours at Phoenix Art Museum, hiking, skating, biking, or out in Midtown with my hubs, Steve, and our adorable scruffy terrier, Mr. Bingley.
