MARRIED BY ARKWRIGHT.

Whether you're planning an intimate elopement or celebrating with everyone you love, I'm here to create a ceremony that feels genuine, meaningful, and completely you.

As a photographer, I've spent years documenting some of life's biggest milestones, but I realized I wanted to be part of them in a whole new way. Becoming a wedding officiant allows me to do exactly that.

I love getting to know couples, hearing how they met, what they love most about each other, and all the little details that make their relationship one of a kind. Then I have the privilege of weaving those moments into a ceremony that feels genuine, personal, and completely their own.

Your ceremony shouldn't sound like it came from the internet. It should sound like your story.

CEREMONY OPTIONS

  • Perfect for couples planning an intimate celebration with just the two of you…or a small group of your closest family and friends. I'll help create a simple, heartfelt ceremony that focuses on what matters most: your love story.

  • Every love story is different, and your ceremony should reflect that. After getting to know you during a consultation, I'll create a personalized ceremony that celebrates your relationship, your personalities, and the journey that brought you here. Whether you'd like to include family traditions, personal vows, special readings, or meaningful rituals, we'll create something that feels authentically you.

  • Need someone to legally marry you without planning a full ceremony? I also offer simple signing ceremonies for couples looking for a quick, stress-free way to make it official. Whether you call it a license signing or a courthouse alternative, I'll make the experience easy, personal, and joyful.

  • Celebrate how far you've come together with a heartfelt ceremony that honors your journey and the next chapter ahead.
