proposal - Lesley and steven, houston, TX - april 10-11, 2026
Lesley & Steve,
Thank you for inviting me into what feels like a truly thoughtful, lived-in celebration. From a relaxed, music-forward welcome party to an evening at the MFA centered on people, atmosphere, and great energy, everything you described points to a weekend that values connection over perfection.
My approach is rooted in presence and trust, paying attention to the quiet details, the in-between moments, and the small human interactions that give a gathering its soul. Rather than refining or directing the day, my goal is to support the environment you’re creating and document it as it naturally unfolds, so the story that’s told feels honest, dimensional, and deeply personal.
Below you’ll find my proposal outlining coverage for the weekend. If anything evolves, or if there’s a way I can continue to support your vision as plans take shape, I’m always happy to be part of the conversation.
