Black Bride
Suzy and Mike both started working out at the YMCA in Bed Stuy, Brooklyn, New York in 2015. Though they both eyed each other for years, they never spoke. In March 2020, Suzy decided to revitalize her Hinge account and then the pandemic hit. She went on the app the first week of the pandemic to deactivate it, but her Match of the Day was Mike from the gym! In short, after a few attempts at distanced dating, they eventually quarantined to ensure being Covid-free and then started having creative dates while in lockdown. Now they have embarked on a new chapter of life as husband and wife!

High school sweethearts Regina Vera and Michael Morrissette kept things elevated yet relaxed at their vineyard wedding. “The couple’s style leans toward classic and polished, but they also wanted to incorporate the immersive wine country setting the guests had experienced over wedding weekend,” says planner Cherish Simpson.

Cherish made us feel heard, gave great suggestions and was always just an email or call away when we had any last minute questions. On the day of our wedding, she did a phenomenal of job making the venue look absolutely beautiful and captured the exact theme and feel that we were going for. I truly could not have made it through the day without her! -Danielle
Oregon Bride
Jordan Sosa and Tyler Baker believe that you should “live by the sun and love by the moon.” Inspired by this mantra, which is written on a plaque that hangs in their home, the couple took the second half of the statement and transformed it into a heavenly wedding theme. The palette of moody navy, dusty blues and copper complemented The Griffin House’s beautiful vistas of the Columbia River Gorge.
My business and I, work toward ridding the wedding industry of racism, prejudice and bias through the partnerships we make and the work we do
