The Second Kiss

A second marriage may seem less important at first—but in truth, it’s a powerful celebration of a new beginning.

Have you had that first love, that first kiss… only to find that life took you down a different path? Maybe you’re no longer with your first partner, whether physically or emotionally. I understand. I’ve walked that road, too.

When Brad and I got married, it was in a quiet aspen grove in Leavenworth, Washington. Just the two of us, our kids, and the mountains surrounding us. It was simple, personal, and full of love.

If you’re lucky enough to find love again—if you’ve met someone who makes your heart feel full—you know how special that second kiss is. This new person, this new season in life, deserves to be celebrated. In fact, this marriage might mean even more… because maybe you once thought you’d never experience this kind of love again.

So why not make this second kiss epic?

Say your vows on a mountaintop at sunrise. Stand hand-in-hand on the edge of a forest, or by a quiet alpine lake. Let the waves crash beside you as you promise forever, again. No stress. No pressure. Just the peace of nature and the love between you.

If you’re dreaming of something intimate, meaningful, and truly yours—I’m here to help.

After planning my own intimate wedding and beginning a new life chapter, I realized how important it is to create memories you can look back on with joy year after year.

So if you’re ready to celebrate this new beginning with your whole heart, let’s make it happen.

Here are a few images from our own wedding day in July 2020.
