It feels impossible to sum up the hundreds of articles I shared in my time at Brides. As real weddings editor, I was able to tell hundreds of love stories through both my words and photo selection.

• Actress Elizabeth Lail and Partner Nieku Manshadi's Intimate Spring Wedding

• Ashley Greene and Paul Khoury's Wedding in the Redwoods

• Chanel Iman and Sterling Shepard's Stunning Beverly Hills Wedding

As the brand’s main representative in the wedding industry, I was always the first to introduce trends, predict what dresses were the next big thing, and guide couples as they planned every element of the their day. During COVID, I took on the responsibility of updating our readers through how to postpone, cancel, or safely get married, and how to deal with the emotions (and expenses!) that went along with that.

Later in my career, I focused on contributing to our tentpole franchises, including The Brides Best Photographers and The Brides Best Wedding Planners and digital issues such as The Launch Issue, The Groom’s Issue, and The Royals Issue. For digital issues, I was responsible for selecting the issue theme and talent, creating the editorial line-up, providing creative direction for the cover shoot, and top-editing all stories.
