I began what I call my "Labour of Love" in 2005 on the pristine Gulf Coast of Florida. I would meet couples on the beach at sunset and officiate their ceremony. In 2014, my husband and I moved to the lush and beautiful state of North Carolina, which I happily call home. Since then, I have presided over hundreds of weddings on mountaintops, Farms, Barns, Country Clubs, Estate Homes, Botanical Gardens, and more. I believe that your ceremony should be both sacred and celebratory and one that incorporates your beliefs and values and creates a ceremony infused with love and joy, but most of all - Uniquely Yours.

At the heart of Kindred Unions is a simple belief: every milestone holds meaning when met with intention. Our mission is to bring that intention to life — through ceremonies that reflect your truth, coordination that carries your vision with grace, and guidance that brings ease to the process. We don’t just plan events or recite passages; we create experiences that feel personal, grounded, and full of quiet beauty.

I am an ordained minister based in the Charlotte metropolitan area. I've served a local church as a minister and music director in the region for over 20 years. I've had over 30 years experience of helping couples plan and facilitate their wedding ceremony, in grand or intimate venues, either as an officiant or as a musician. I grew up in a small town outside of Athens, GA and graduated from the University of Georgia (GO DAWGS) in 1995 with a Bachelor of Music degree concentrating in piano and voice. I've been married since 2006 to my wife, Ellen and we have three beautiful children: Kate, Meredith, and Owen.
