For this milestone birthday, guests arrived through a gallery-style retrospective tracing the guest of honor’s life, set within custom-built stained glass panels designed to echo the venue’s stained glass windows.
Swipe through for a close up of the escort card table, with guest names on uniquely cut & colored pieces of the stained glass “70” table.

We are so excited to welcome back our friends @hellabloom for our second Flower Arrangement Workshop.
May 17, 2026 1-3pm
Learn the basics of Floral design with Abby Schmeichel of Hellabloom. Abby will be teaching attendees how to design a naturally inspired, balanced floral arrangement. Using freshly cut spring blooms from local farmers, Abby will go through the basics of flower selection, vase mechanics, and design techniques. You will be able to apply this basic framework when creating your own floral designs at home. All materials will be provided and you will take home your arrangement after class!

When it's real, when the people I'm photographing are truly present in the moment, there's this palpable overwhelm of emotion. My heart feels bigger than my chest and I'm grateful to be a witness. ♡

Ahhh creating “The Round” creates such an intimate ceremony set up, literally surrounded by loved ones. It will forever be one of my favorites!

ladders of 2025 - this job has done a number on my back, but amidst all the schlepping and the v unglamorous bits of the travel, install, and breakdown that’s par for the course, i’m truly grateful for my little part in floral world and the continued feelings of awe and excitement season after season (the beauty of the cherry blossom! my talented friends! dappled sunlight on an arrangement! a @jerseymikes lunch break!). thank you thank you 🩵
