Meet Shawna

Meet the Detail-Driven Dream Maker: Shawna Jorgensen ✨

At Storybook Love Events, every wedding day is layered with intention, emotion, and those unforgettable “wow” moments. And behind so many of those beautifully curated details? Shawna.

A former Storybook Love bride turned planner, Shawna Jorgensen brings a unique, full-circle perspective to every couple she serves—because she’s been exactly where you are.

From Bride to Planner 💛

Shawna joined the wedding world two years ago, but her story with Storybook Love started long before that.

After planning her own wedding and working alongside Jenny, she knew she had found something special—not just in the experience, but in the heart behind it all.

She loved it so much, she didn’t want it to end.

So she joined the team… and never looked back.

The Moment It All Becomes Real

For Shawna, one of the most magical moments of a wedding day happens before the aisle:

When the bride steps out from hair and makeup and sees her vision come to life.

It’s that first glimpse—the moment where everything she’s dreamed, planned, and pinned suddenly becomes real.

And later in the day? It’s the collective emotion that gets her every time—watching parents, family, and friends react as the bride walks down the aisle. (And yes… a groom tearing up doesn’t help either 🥹)

A True Partner in the Process

Shawna’s approach to planning is rooted in one simple truth:

You shouldn’t have to do this alone.

She shows up as a partner—someone couples can lean on through every piece of the puzzle, big or small. Whether it’s a major decision or a random last-minute detail, she’s there to step in, support, and guide with care.

Because weddings aren’t just about logistics—they’re about feeling supported every step of the way.

The Behind-the-Scenes Beauty Keeper

While timelines and coordination are a given, Shawna has a special talent for something couples may not even notice:

✨ Keeping everything looking beautiful, all day long.

From straightening chairs and refreshing tables to quietly moving gifts and resetting spaces, she’s constantly maintaining the aesthetic of the day—even as guests mingle, celebrate, and (lovingly) touch everything.

The result? A space that feels just as stunning at the end of the night as it did at the beginning.

Shawna, Off the Timeline

Shawna brings passion and intention into everything she does—on and off the wedding day.

• ☕ Go-to drink: A good iced latte… or three 😉
• 📝 Three words: Intentional. Passionate. Supportive.
• ✨ Signature detail: Perfectly straight chairs, beautifully set tables, and that “wow” moment when everything comes together
• 💛 Instant mood boost: Seeing the joy and excitement on her couple’s faces

Her emergency kit? Stocked and ready with tissues and stain remover—because weddings are emotional, joyful, and sometimes just a little messy.

And on her days off, you’ll likely find her at home with her four dogs or out camping and exploring new places with her husband.

Her Advice to Engaged Couples

Shawna’s advice is both grounding and heartfelt:

Take a deep breath—we’ve got you.

And more importantly:

Make decisions based on what you want. Not what mom, your sister, or Susan down the street thinks you should do. Choose what brings you joy.

The Details That Make It Personal

One of Shawna’s favorite trends right now is all about guest experience—and making sure everyone feels part of something special.

From live illustrations and food trucks to intentional, interactive moments, she loves seeing couples create a day that’s not just beautiful—but memorable for everyone involved.

---

A Wedding Moment She’ll Never Forget

Every planner has that one moment that sticks with them forever…

For Shawna, it was Jeremy & Josh’s wedding—a day filled with pure, contagious joy.

At one point, the couple spontaneously jumped on stage when “Hot To Go” came on, and the entire room joined in—singing, dancing, and celebrating together.

A moment of pure happiness. The kind you can’t plan—but will never forget.

The Story Behind the Story

Shawna’s love for weddings is rooted in exactly what you’d expect:

She simply loves love.

Her own wedding experience opened the door—but it was the connection, the emotion, and the joy of being part of something so meaningful that made her stay.

Now, she gets to step into that role for other couples—helping them experience their best day ever.
