OKOTA

It's a beautiful thing when a career and a passion come together. That’s my every day!

I live for the love stories, the Pinterest boards, and those ‘we did it’ hugs at the end of the night.

I want you to know working with me means more than just emails and calls — it means building a genuine connection. You can feel confident knowing your wedding memories are in the hands of someone who genuinely cares.

When you choose OKOTA as your wedding photographer, videographer, floral designer, invitation designer, or all of the above — you’re in the hands of a team that really gets you and your vision.

My work takes a lot of heart, but some technical training is necessary too!

I earned degrees in photography and graphic design from Xavier University, as well as a certification as an International Wedding Planner from QC Event School. In 2013 (YES, I was still a teenager!), I started gaining hands-on real wedding experience, and set out with the goal to lauch a wedding design business that offers a whole new level of ease and comfort for busy couples trying to plan their dream weddings AND enjoy their engagement.
