Celebrations & Intimate Weddings

So intentionally planned, you'll actually get to be there.

Plumeria is a boutique planning and photography business creating meaningful gatherings through thoughtful event design and fine art photography.

Our Vision

Celebrations mark the moments that shape our lives.

Weddings, gatherings, and milestones are the moments when people come together to pause, reflect, and celebrate one another.

Plumeria was created to help people experience those moments fully.

We focus on a limited number of celebrations each year so that every event can be designed with care, creativity, and intention.

Our goal is to curate gatherings where people feel present, connected, and truly at ease with one another.

The Celebrations We Design

We specialize in gatherings that feel intimate, joyful, and thoughtfully designed.

Many of the celebrations we support include:

  • Intimate weddings allow space for deeper connection and intentional design.

    We work with couples who want their wedding to feel personal, calm, and meaningful. From venue selection and ceremony flow to the smallest visual details, we help shape a celebration where every moment feels considered.

  • An engagement gathering is often the first celebration that brings families and friends together.

    We design warm and welcoming events that reflect the couple’s story, whether that means a dinner party, garden gathering, or creative evening with loved ones.

  • Welcoming a child is one of life’s most meaningful milestones.

    We help families design thoughtful baby showers that feel relaxed, joyful, and beautiful, creating space for loved ones to celebrate together.

  • Not every meaningful gathering fits into a category.

    From milestone birthdays to anniversary dinners and intimate celebrations, we help hosts create experiences that feel intentional and memorable.

  • We also design creative gatherings that bring people together around ideas, art, and shared experiences.

    These events might include workshops, retreats, collaborative dinners, or community celebrations.

Event Planning

We guide clients through the planning process from the earliest ideas through the final moments of the event.

Our work includes shaping the vision of the celebration, coordinating vendors, building thoughtful timelines, and ensuring the day unfolds smoothly so you can be fully present with the people around you.

Fine Art Event Photography

His work blends natural moments with intentional portraiture, creating images that feel both authentic and timeless.

Planning & Photography

Our signature offering brings planning and photography together into a single seamless experience.

With both elements working in harmony from the beginning, the celebration can unfold naturally while every meaningful moment is captured with care and artistry.

Our Story

Plumeria was founded by Aaron and Tamara, a husband and wife team who share a love for celebrations, storytelling, and bringing people together.

Their own relationship, as well as the milestones they have celebrated together, inspired the idea for creating a business centered around intentional gatherings.

Tamara leads the creative direction of celebrations, shaping the atmosphere and experience of each event. With a background in facilitation and psychotherapy, she brings a deepened understanding of how people gather and connect during meaningful moments.

Aaron leads the visual storytelling of Plumeria, capturing the emotion and beauty of each celebration through photography.

Christabel leads operations and planning systems, a Wharton graduate whose background in positive psychology and event design is rooted in a genuine belief that how we gather shapes how we thrive.

Together, the team brings warmth, creativity, and thoughtful organization to every event.

Our Approach

  • Milestones deserve to be honored. Weddings and gatherings create space for people to pause, reflect, and celebrate life together.

  • From the flow of the ceremony to the atmosphere of the space, each celebration is shaped with care so it reflects the people at the center of it.

  • Through thoughtful planning and clear coordination, we create environments where guests can feel present, joyful, and at ease.


“I find myself coming back to work with Tamara time and time again because she creates such beautiful and safe creative spaces.”
