Success starts before guests arrive. From collaborating with venues, DJs, and specialty vendors to coordinating timelines and scouting locations, I work behind the scenes to ensure every partner is aligned and ready.

Timeline Planning for Photo & Video Teams. In unique locations like this redwood grove, timing matters. Our custom timelines help your photography and videography teams capture every moment efficiently—ensuring there’s enough light, space, and time built in to get the shots you want without rushing the day.

Cool guests. Cooler treats. Bliss popsicles brought the flavor to keep one clients event sweet from start to finish.

Staffing Support. For larger events, I bring in trusted staff to help execute the details seamlessly. While the couple covers the cost, I handle the sourcing and coordination, so the right people are in place when it matters most.

Golf cart? Secured. Timeline? On track. We coordinated with venue staff to get the couple exactly where they needed to be for their first look, without the stress or scramble.

There is a large mirror behind them reflecting the room, which is filled with people sitting at tables. The setting appears to be a wooden hall or lodge with high ceilings.]()
Vendor Coordination in Action. This shot may show the DJ mid-set, but the real work started long before the first song. From confirming power needs and equipment placement to mapping run-of-show details, plus collaborating to address unexpected A/V issues.

Collaborative Flow. Behind the lens and casually posted up, this photographer may look relaxed, but our coordination was nonstop. A solid planner-photographer relationship means better flow, fewer missed moments, and the freedom to let each other do what we do best.

Offsites. Scouting the site for a startup town hall offsite, where stunning views met startup practicality. Factoring in setup logistics, vendor needs, and guest flow to make sure the space worked as hard as the team behind it.

Site visit in progress. Once this venue was selected for a corporate holiday party, I immediately began drafting the timeline and coordinating vendor logistics to align with the space’s layout and guest flow.

Event Layout & Vendor Coordination Support. As part of our standalone services, we helped map out electrical access and sign placement during a venue walkthrough—identifying outlet locations and marking them on reference photos sent directly to the lighting vendor. This helped streamline setup and avoid delays on event day.

Vendor Collaboration. While not my staff, I worked closely with the 25 Lusk team to ensure dinner service flowed smoothly. Great events depend on seamless collaboration, especially, when working alongside professionals outside my own network.

Catering Logistics. Even when we’re not onsite, our custom timelines help DIY clients think through real-world details, like where a food truck will park, how long setup takes, and when to alert guests. We help map out logistics ahead of time so your vendors know exactly what to do and when to do it.
Moments in Motion. From rehearsals and first looks to grand entrances and intimate celebrations. Every scene captured here reflects the behind-the-scenes intention that makes it all flow seamlessly.
Event Setups & Styling. Whether I’m directing final placement or setting tables myself, every detail is intentional. I use proven methods from seasoned professionals to ensure each setting not only functions for guests but looks stunning in every background shot.
Workplace + Venue Operations. From country clubs to internal workplace functions, I specialize in social media content, branding, marketing and seamless execution across diverse environments where my time along Michelin-trained chefs and perfection-demanding executive teams has led my training.
