We’ve been sharing a few tools lately that actually make things easier for planners and couples and this is one that we love in particular — it’s called The Wedding App.
It’s designed to take guest communication off your plate — real-time updates, group chats, travel plans, even shared photo albums — all in one spot. Guests feel informed, and you don’t get 47 texts asking what time the shuttle leaves.
Pure joy ✨ This is how you should feel during your engagement session ✨

Eight years ago, I decided to start a wedding inspo account because I was so invested in planning my own wedding. I never intended to become a wedding planner. But then it happened. And it was incredible. I met couples that would change my life forever. Their families, friends and vendors welcomed me with open arms.
It was the best time. 💕
Today I’m in my chapter. And although I don’t have the same energy to dedicate to engagements, I’ve handed off my passion project to a woman I know will take it to new heights. I met Katelyn from in 2018 when we did an elopement giveaway in San Diego. She’s creative and inspiring, so smart and just a joy to be around. I’ve collaborated with her on styled shoots and weddings. What she’s created is impressive and I just really love her as a human.
Which is why I was thrilled when I heard she was interested in taking over . The perfect addition to her portfolio. And a safe place for me to send my small business.
To everyone who’s been a part of the network since the beginning. Thank you for making me feel on top of the actual world. This has been so much fun. A roller coaster ride of learning and growing and I wouldn’t trade it for anything.
Cheers to , To true love and epic floral arrangements. To golden hour, live music and specialty cocktails. To first looks and first dances. To parents and besties with teary eyes. To unforgettable, life changing days and the hard work and planning that leads up to them. Cheers to every single couple who let me be a part of their best day ever. Thank you letting me in, for changing my life. I am forever grateful.
Lastly. Cheers to Katelyn for making it easy to pass the torch. I can’t wait to see what you do. 💕
XOXO, Jess

I’ve loved weddings for as long as I can remember. I love attending them, watching movies about them, and more recently, helping my friends and family plan them. When I planned my sister’s wedding in 2014 I found myself thinking, “Maybe I could do this full time someday…”.
When I got engaged, nearly everyone else I know also did (#thisis30). Friends started sending me contracts to review and asking for my advice with vendors, venues and decor. I quickly learned SO much, from planning my own wedding and helping others. I wanted to share the great vendors I’d met and cool ideas I’d stumbled upon so I created an Instagram account, @engagedlife. I had no plans to start a business, I just needed somewhere to unload all of my excited energy.
As my Instagram account grew, I started building the most incredible little community of engaged couples and wedding vendors. EngagedLife quickly turned into a website, blog and now a wedding planning business. My husband and I wanted our wedding day to be the best day ever, and we look back on it as even more than that — it was the most beautiful celebration that began the rest of our lives together. I want to help others experience that same warmth. Meeting engaged couples, learning about their stories, and helping bring their dreams to life on their wedding day has brought me SO much joy and happiness, it’s my favorite thing.
