I equip purpose-driven entrepreneurs and photographers to turn their story into connection—and their gifts into lasting impact.

hey friends, i'm katelyn

Wow… today is the DAY!!!!!!!! What a CRAZY 7 days it has been. Voting began this time last week and we have been absolutely blown away by the excitement and support that people have poured throughout this while process!!! We are SO thankful for everyone who rallied around contestants and helped them fight for the top 5 spots. We’re also thankful for the 65 friends/family of the vendors that made the final decision. It’s a decision that we knew we couldn’t make ourselves. We are so thankful for ALL of the contestants. We love their stories, their personalities, their hearts and their excitement!!!

It’s SURREAL to be announcing this today. It was only a few weeks ago that Jill and I were hanging out in their living room just chatting about ideas and dreams. We talked about wanting to give away a wedding and now it’s happening!!! It’s really happening! And it’s happening with some of our best industry friends!!

Last night the vendors that were able to get together had a little party at our house and we filmed this little video…… where we announce the WINNER OF THE WEDDING COLLECTIVE GIVEAWAY!!!!!! AHHH!!! Watch watch watch!!!!!!

Ps. HUGE thanks to Shaina Koren and Mike for working SO hard to make this video happen OVERNIGHT!!

We’re so thankful to have so much support from such amazing and admired friends in the industry!! Thank you!!
