About
Throughout my life I have worked as a writer and public speaker. I have always loved being able to capture a moment and to put feelings into words, from delivering wedding speeches, to capstone addresses, to slam poetry performances, to now teaching these skills to high school students! Since 2017, I have had the truly beautiful privilege of capturing the many different, colorful, and infinitely unique love stories of this state. From small elopements to large weddings, no two stories have ever been the same! Nothing has been more fun than capturing the unique stories of each and every couple, from adventures around the world to quality Sunday coffees (and occasionally both at the same time)!
By working closely with my clients, I build stories that are true to each couple’s story. From dear memories to goofy inside jokes to the day you first met, each step has been essential in bringing you to where you are today. It’s important to me to create a ceremony that captures these things, ensuring that it glows as much as you both do. Most of all, I love stories that can rooted in laughter, in smiles, and in the appreciation of the small things that make both of you so special to each other. (And if you’re a little bit nerdy? Well, we’ll get along great)!
My specialty is finding that unique connection and putting such a precious thing into words. Whether you are looking for a conventional, non-traditional, unique, or simple ceremony, I will be able to help! Most of all though, know that you will be celebrated and loved as you are. I am a proud LGBTQ ally and strongly believe in the fundamental right we all have to equality, justice, and shared commitment regardless of race, gender, religion, or sexual orientation. Love is love, and it is a gift that truly deserves to be celebrated.
Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions! I would love to learn about your love story and to figure out how to put your perfect ceremony into words. Till then, enjoy the sunshine, be recklessly in love, and never stop laughing along the way.

After that, Emily went beyond my expectations.... she proactively handled the paperwork afterward & detailing next steps. The value she provides is exceptional. I don't have enough to say positively: she's organized, thoughtful, responsive, and genuinely invested in making wedding day special.

Wonderful officiant
1 Billion / 5 Stars
We received so many compliments from our guests with comments like "That was the best ceremony I have ever attended!" to "Why haven't I met your best friend Emily before?" Her ceremony was so personalized that everyone was convinced she had been our friend for years! She is so warm, well spoken, thoughtful and I wouldn't have wanted anyone up there with us as we got married.
Emily took the time to answer all of our questions, calm our nerves, revise the ceremony whenever we changed our minds, and to really get to know us and understand our values as she ushered us into the next stage of our relationship. She made the wedding process effortless and anyone would be lucky to have her on their special day.
Unique, one-of-a-kind ceremony
One of the best parts of our wedding
Emily made our wedding ceremony not only thoughtful and tear-provoking, but also engaging and fun for us our guests! She took the time to get to know us as a couple, adding those important personal touches so that our wedding truly reflected us as a couple. It was clear that she was invested in making our day special, and the result was a ceremony that left us and our guests in awe. We received sooooooo many compliments afterward, with one close family member even saying, “Everything else could’ve gone wrong, but as long as Emily was there, it would’ve been a great wedding!”
Emily also totally crushed our wedding rehearsal. She was kind, fun, and incredibly organized, helping to wrangle our large, chatty family and make sure everyone knew their part. I didn't even know what I needed for the rehearsal, but Emily did! So we were fine.
If you’re looking for an officiant who will bring love, light, and a touch of magic to your wedding, look no further than Emily. We are so grateful for her and cannot recommend her highly enough!
