Welcome to State of Amor, where every love story is celebrated with the warmth and authenticity it deserves. We believe in crafting wedding experiences that are as heartwarming and inclusive as they are stunningly beautiful. Our philosophy is grounded in the idea that every couple deserves to be seen, inspired, and joyously celebrated.
I'm not just a wedding planner; I'm a curator of love stories, a believer in the power of unique journeys. Nestled in the serene Pacific Northwest, I live a life that mirrors the bespoke and heartfelt touch we bring to each couple's special day. My own journey in love and life reflects the individualized and meaningful celebrations we aspire to create for every couple. I'm drawn to the road less traveled, to narratives rich in depth and authenticity, just like the stories of the couples we work with.
Boasting over 10 years of experience in sculpting dream weddings (time really does fly!), I've had the honor of witnessing love stories that resonate with passion, depth, and individuality. These stories are the pulse of State of Amor, driving us to craft a sanctuary for couples who embody confidence, creativity, diversity, and a grounded spirit.
In a time where weddings can often feel superficially curated for social media, we at State of Amor recognize the deeper, more authentic essence of your story. Your journey is more than a series of snapshots; it's a rich collage of genuine emotions, shared experiences, and distinctive paths. Here, we offer an inspirational, inclusive, and refreshingly real approach to wedding planning. Every couple finds their niche with us, a place where their unique tale is not just told but celebrated in every aspect. Welcome to State of Amor, where your love story is our canvas, and every detail paints a picture of your unique bond.
hello! I'm Stephanie.
the voice behind State of Amor
Just like the content we share, our voice is all about balance. We balance inspiration and experience with relatability and authenticity in our every communication. While we’re confident in our role as event experts and industry pros, we’re also honest, engaging, transparent, and—above all—human.
here's what you can expect
In an aesthetics-driven industry with so many voices pushing perfection, the State of Amor brand voice is a much-needed breath of fresh air. We won’t tell you event planning is easy or promise perfection—but we will guide you through making the process seamless, approachable, and do-able. Our communication gives you both the stunning and the substance behind it. We’re open, honest, and generous with the advice we offer, the behind-the-scenes peeks we provide, and the in-depth interviews we conduct. You won’t find promised perfection or empty aesthetics at State of Amor—but you will find substantive content paired with a tone that’s real, relatable, and fresh.
It is not perfection-driven.
All are welcome with open arms at State of Amor. From the inclusivity pledge our vendors uphold to the diverse representations of love we feature as inspiration and real weddings, we are incredibly passionate about ensuring all are included, represented, and empowered on our platform. Love isn’t limited to a certain gender, ethnicity, or ability—and our content isn’t either. Above all, though, our diversity and inclusivity efforts are so much more than empty lip-service or boilerplate paragraphs that are void of personality—we communicate our unwavering passion (and serious love!) for love of every kind in a way that’s authentic and legitimate. We love nothing more than celebrating love in all of its beautiful forms—and we’re proud to shout that from the rooftops every chance we get.
It is all about accessibility and inclusivity.
At State of Amor, professionals are always approachable and experts are always inviting. Whether we’re writing an email campaign or speaking one-on-one with a bride or groom, we use a tone that’s personal, human, and real. Through intimate interviews and honest conversations with vendors, we feature content that’s incredibly engaging and highly personal. Our content and communications are about so much more than a faceless CTA or surface-level blog post—we get in front of the camera; we grab the mic with purpose; we allow couples to see, hear, and connect with us; and we pull back the curtain as we invite them to feel our passion and learn about the labor of love that is being a wedding vendor or industry expert.
It emphasizes a deep personal connection and common ground.
