Real Weddings celebrated it’s 10th anniversary in 2017 and in honor of this milestone, we are checking back in with our beautiful cover models! We’ve been so lucky to work with over 60 local brides these past 10 years and we’re eager to see where they are now.

When did you get married?
September 14, 2013
Any children (fur or human)?
Bailey – a beautiful, loving Wheaten Terrier! Hopefully she will have some little ones of our own to play with in the future.
What is your career?
Director of a Global Operations team for a prominent technology company in San Francisco.
What do you enjoy doing with your family?
We will visit Murphys and Arnold, and we love to eat at Aria Bakery and Serafina.
I have been fortunate to travel to some amazing places since we got married including Kauai, Ireland, Scotland and a spent month in Tokyo! Seeing how other cultures live, approach their day and celebrate with their loved ones gives me a greater appreciation of humanity and those universal experiences that unite us all.
How was your cover model experience?
Being a Real Weddings cover model was an amazing bucket list experience that honestly has made me hope it is not my last chance to be a “model.” It has also given me a fun thing to share when I play Two Truths and a Lie that usually leads to me sharing my story. My husband is still really proud of my magazine and has it proudly displayed on our coffee table. His cover model forever!
The cover model finalist contest photo shoot Real Weddings Magazine team members who produced this editorial feature include: Aimee Carroll, Morgan Cásarez, Kelle Collier, Kathryn Frels, Caitlin Herrera, Desiree Patterson, Emily Peter, Brittany Schroeder, Gloria Schroeder, Wendy Sipple, Leah Sturgeon and Megan Wiskus.
