Anna & Michael
Wedding Party
Madison Haller
Maid of Honor
Madison and Anna have been friends since 2013 where they met in high school. They lived together in college for three years and studied the same major. They have got to experience some of life's most monumental moments together like from popping champagne on snow days to exploring new hiking trails around Louisville and now getting married. Madison currently lives in Louisville, KY with her now husband Jack Oakey, where they love to explore unique restaurants and take their only dog child, Louis, to new parks. Madison and Anna now own homes down the street from each other so they are always able to visit each other on surprise notice. Anna is so blessed to be able to do life with such a wonderful friend and inspiration.
Rebecca Deason
Maid of Honor
Rebecca is Anna's little sister. Growing up, Rebecca was the 'typical' little sister, always stealing Anna's clothes and annoying her. Although she is the little sister, Rebecca has achieved some outstanding endeavors. Rebecca is currently studying at the University of Kentucky to get her Bachelors Degree in Bio Systems Engineering. Alongside working towards her degree she has been presented with many opportunities to travel. In 2021 she completed a cross country self tour, driving from Georgia to California. Once Rebecca graduates, we know she will end up in California to live out her dreams and will continue to drink overpriced wine.
Baylee Tabler
Bridesmaid
Baylee and Anna have been friends since college where they meet over drinking tequila and eating tacos. Yes, tequila and tacos are great but Baylee and Anna were really able to connect over the love they share for some good music and good vibes. Anna would go as far to say that her and Baylee are soul sisters. Baylee has recently taken on a new life adventure and moved to Mississippi to pursue her career as the worlds best second grade teacher! Living her whole life in KY and knowing it like the back of her hand, she felt empowered to go somewhere new and do something different for herself to get out of her comfort zone. Although she has made many new friends and lives miles away, Baylee will always be one of Anna's best friends.
Kristen Deason
Bridesmaid
Kristen is Anna's sister in law and is a very close friend. Kristen and Anna's brother, Matt, got married in October 2019 where Anna was apart of their wedding. They also have the worlds cutest baby boy, and Anna's first nephew, that was born in July 2021. They currently live in Hays, KS - which if you ask me is too far. Anna and Kristen did competitive cheer together back in 2009 where they got to know each other before Matt asked Kristen to his winter high school dance & the rest is history. Anna is so excited to have Kristen be apart of her big day!
Faith Shepherd

Faith and Anna met at the University of Louisville where they had classes together in the College of Business. A couple months before graduation, Faith lead Anna to get an internship at a real estate broker where Faith was already working. Everything fell into place and with a couple more additions the 'Dream Team' was born. Faith has been dominating the Louisville Real Estate Market ever since getting her license & Anna would recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home! Faith and Anna have overcome some challenging situations that have crossed their paths but side by side they have been able to overcome them together - in turn only making their bond stronger! Faith recently got married at the end of July 2022 where Anna was one of Faiths bridesmaids. They will continue to learn, grow, and conquered so many different things together - Anna cannot wait to see where life leads them!
Lauren Thomas
Bridesmaid
Lauren and Anna met during a 'season of change'. Lauren moved to Louisville, KY in 2019 when her and her husband, Matt, had a new job opportunity. Little did she know, when she was hired at a real estate agency - she really joined the 'Dream Team' (a group of besties who ran the office). Although Lauren is newer to Louisville she loves finding hidden gem restaurants and always knows what was happening around town. Her refined taste and good style helps keep Anna up to date! Over the past couple of years, Lauren and Anna have been able to really get to know each other and have grown together so much from when they first met. When Lauren adjusted to life here in Louisville, so seamlessly, Anna knew Lauren would always be a special part of her life!
Emily Wolff
Bridesmaid
Emily and Anna actually grew up across the street from each until they were about 10 years old. Conveniently, when it was time for Emily and Anna to go to college, they somehow both ended up in Louisville, KY. While Anna was at the University of Louisville, Emily went to Bellarmine University. Being so close to each other and staying connected through the years, they decided to meet up for some long awaited dinner and drinks. Long story short, they picked up right exactly where they left off, only this time, they had cars, their own place, and most importantly their fur babies. Some would say its an obsession's but they would say its just true love and the love they share for each other fur babies makes their bond irreplaceable. Emily recently made the decision and move to Denver, CO to explore a new city and take on new adventures. So although she is not 10 minutes away anymore, we know distance will never break their friendship.
