10 years ago I made some sounds, fell into glitch art, and birthed DZSTRKRFT—a personal music project. My first release “Cut, Paste, Destroy”, a 4-song EP, was an experiment in sampling and computer music. I didn’t really know what I was doing at the time but it opened doors for me. I’m really proud of the compositions and to celebrate the 10 anniversary of its release, I present to you a limited cassette release which you can pick up on Bandcamp. Have a listen.

POV: your clients become your people SWIPE ➡️ and READ MORE ⬇️💕
Danny & Manon 🤍 2016 clients
I met Danny years ago when he was a customer at a restaurant I used to work at, and later he hired me to plan his & Manon’s wedding in 2016.When they heard we were getting married in Korea, they flew all the way from Hawaii just to be there, THEN invited us to Bali to celebrate their 10-year anniversary, which turned into a joint honeymoon/anniversary trip.
Danny 🤍 2018 clients
Since Loveworks coordinated his & Hope’s wedding in 2018, we’ve grown into friends, fellow wedding vendors, and even real estate partners.So having him play such a big role in our Korean wedding meant everything. I was honestly so discouraged trying to find a bilingual MC in Korea! So I randomly asked Danny if he happened to be in Korea in April. Somehow, he already had plans to be there, he just needed to extend his trip by one day.
Syd & Zac 🤍 2024 clients
I’ve been wanting to hang out with them again, but they live in Australia so I didn’t know when that would happen.
and somehow, they just happened to also be in Bali during our honeymoon. What are the chances??We chased the Uluwatu sunset and ended up at the craziest party, dancing until 5am together 🌅
Saejean & Royce 🤍 2025 clients
I saw they were vacationing in Korea the SAME week as our wedding… so I randomly invited them last minute.
I hesitated for a second—like, “is it weird to invite my clients to my wedding?”But I genuinely love them, so I went for it.And they didn’t just come—they showed up.
From the wedding, to the yacht after party on the Han River, to the after-after party in Itaewon, and dancing with me until 4am!
How does life even line this up?
It’s wild to think I got to celebrate one of the biggest moments of my life with people who once started as “clients.”
This is why I love what I do.It’s never just weddings. It’s real relationships, memories, and moments that come full circle in the most unexpected ways.
Thank you all for being part of this chapter ❤️❤️❤️
