Jane Rose Events

NC Wedding Planner

AH! I am so EXCITED to share with you one of my very favorite branding sessions from the year of 2020! Today, March 1st, is the LAUNCH DAY for Jane Rose Events! Yall, I have to tell you a background story of how I met the owner, Amanda, early on in my career—and how we got to now.

I met Amanda while she was interning with a local wedding planning company in Raleigh, NC. On my very first “big” wedding day, she was helping out as the planner! This was circa 2014-2015. She was a breath of fresh air, a lovely conversationalist, and a great person to have on the day of. Later, after she graduated from ECU, she started a job as one of the Events Coordinators at my favorite Durham wedding venue—the Rickhouse! I have to admit, Amanda is probably the reason that I was able to join the Rickhouse’s bridal show that year! She basically swooped in and saved me a spot as a vendor. For that, I am forever grateful for her.

Later, she felt her calling in Washington DC. This lady followed her dream and moved to DC to start her new career as a Corporate Events Planner. I was so happy for her, and honestly still am, that she dropped everything to pursue this. I admire that so much. I remember sending her an email to the tune of “follow your dreams! But, if you get tired of DC we will gladly take you back in NC! Dont rush, though!” Well, last winter came and Amanda reached out to me. She was officially moving back to NC to start her actual dream career—her own wedding planning business! Yall, I about gasped when I read the email! I was so excited to have her back!

With a new company comes new headshots and branding photography. And, Amanda wanted ME to photograph her! Yall, to say that I felt honored was an understatement! The place of honor for the backdrop of this session?! The Rickhouse! I know, full circle! Amanda’s branding session was so fun to be a part of, both of her grandmothers were part of it and were just a hoot to be around. Jane Rose Events gets its name because of her grandmothers names “Jane” & “Rose”. Take a look at some of my favorite images from their session and make sure to go look at Amanda’s new website!
