The Heart Behind Teardrop

Planning should feel supported, not stressful.

I created Teardrop to design experiences that feel personal, intentional, and unmistakably yours.

Some of the most meaningful moments at a wedding are never scheduled. A shared laugh. A quiet pause. A breath in the middle of the movement. Thoughtful planning creates the structure that allows those moments to unfold naturally.

With calm direction and steady leadership, I guide couples with clarity, care, and deep respect for what this moment represents, supported by a trusted team and a versatile design approach that adapts to each vision. Every celebration is shaped into a cohesive, editorial experience that feels timeless and true to you.
