We saw a bad play on a Wednesday and ate sandwiches ten years ago today 🥪 I love you, @esierramezzo 🌋 What will this next decade bring us? @brickandpinephotography

10 YEARS ✨ @leoleofotos and I went on a date to see a very bad play ten years ago… We’ve spent every day together ever since 🥹 From homemade scampi to riding camels in Morocco to painting painstakingly tedious stripes on our kitchen wall, everything is an adventure with you, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. I’m so incredibly blessed to call you my husband, my best friend, my partner in everything — I love you with my whole heart 🌋 Here’s to a million more anniversaries!!! Stunning pictures: @brickandpinephotography Stunning styling: @secondhemd_styling Stunning makeup: @beautyandblissonsite

That’s a wrap on 2025 — the biggest ups this year! I am so rich in life and so overwhelmingly grateful ♥️ • started and ended the year in the mountains • built my wedding dress with @secondhemd_styling and @taille.und.herrsche • spent a couple months very ill but with my love @leoleofotos in our new NYC home • debuted two huge roles, Dorabella & Adalgisa • cuddled my sweet and perfect niece Magnolia • took the bachelorette trip of a lifetime with my Tangerines (@_mmval @belladodd_ @lochtessmonster19 @kelsey_collett @jessica_niles_ ) • spent so much quality time with family • traveled to so many different countries for work and play • GOT MARRIED!!! I hope 2026 will bring as much/more joy as this year did!

Wedding photos have come in!!! Reliving these memories is the best, and the one that sticks out to us the most is the dragonfly… To us, dragonflies symbolize loved ones who have passed on — anytime we see one, we take it as a sign that GG is saying hello or Buelo wanted to stop by or Yiayia is thinking of us. That’s why we wanted to incorporate them on our memorial table at our wedding, as a way to include the ones who are watching from beyond. We had been collecting brooches in the years of our engagement to add them to our decorations ✨ Imagine our shock and awe when, during our vows, a dragonfly landed on my shoulder and decided to stay for the rest of the ceremony… These pictures show the realization that we were not only surrounded by family and friends, but our ancestors too ♥️ They blessed our marriage in the simplest yet most powerful way we could’ve ever imagined, and we will cherish this memory forever… Thank you @brickandpinephotography for capturing this sacred moment ✨ Thank you @beautyandblissonsite for making my makeup last through the constant happy tears 😂 And thank you @deidonum.ink for marking the spot where the dragonfly landed, always a reminder that our loved ones are with us 💛

Yesterday morning felt like stepping straight into a storybook ✨🌲 Bringing Hänsel und Gretel to life at @bayerischestaatsoper for a house full of children was pure magic. There’s something especially moving about performing for young audiences experiencing opera for the very first time — they listen, watch, and respond with such openness, curiosity, and delight. The energy in the house was electric, and feeding off that excitement is a feeling like no other. What a joy (and a privilege!) to share this fairy tale and this art form with the next generation (and with the most fun and supportive Hänsel, @esierramezzo )🍭🎶💛

This trend made me think of you @leoleofotos We are the luckiest people of all — I love you so much 🌋🌋🌋 #married #mrandmrs #iloveyou
