Collins Birth Story
On March 11, 2020, our lives were forever changed when Collins Elisabeth Drake came into the world. A day that for so long felt so far out of reach, yet one that will live in our memory as the most special day of our lives. It’s the day we welcomed our daughter into the world and began our new journey as mom and dad! The emotions and experiences of that day are hard to put into words and why it has taken me nearly six months to share our story! There is truly nothing that parallels to giving birth and bringing another life into this world; an indescribable moment that I had to go through...

Dress: Anthropologie | Boots: Anthropologie | Sunnies: Tory Burch |Earrings: Nordstrom (similar) | Watch: Daniel Wellington c/o My style is variable for the most part, as it should be. As a self-proclaimed girly-girl, some of my favorite designers include, Self-Portrait, Alice + Olivia, and Rebecca Taylor; however, there is no denying my heart also aches for all things Anthropolgie. To walk into an Anthropologie store is to experience another state of consciousness. I've never been the type to own a Peruvian-style poncho, and yet, last week I spot one artfully displayed on a mannequin,...
Our Wedding
Time has a wonderful way of showing us what really matters. Looking back on my life, there are countless memories of incredible moments that will last forever, but I can't help but feel that like I've blinked and time suddenly started fleeting. It's hard to believe that three months ago, we were with our closest friends and family celebrating what would be the most special day of our lives... so far, anyway. What a wonderful thought it is that some of the best days of our lives haven't happened yet. True love is beautiful, radiant and pure. When you find it, hold on tight my fiends....

But First, Let’s Rehearse…
Having heard that your wedding day flies by so quickly, Justin and I wanted to embrace the opportunity of having those closest to us all together, before the wedding day blur began. We welcomed around seventy guests to an intimate rehearsal dinner on the eve of our wedding, Friday, June 3, 2016, at The Ballantyne Hotel and Lodge in Charlotte, North Carolina. Personalized details, a fitting location, and a one-of-a-kind groom’s cake made it a fantastic fete. To set the tone for the evening, we worked closely with Swoosie's to design extravagant gold-foiled and matte black invitations,...
