Story time ✨
I posted a poll on my story the other day, asking everyone’s thoughts on whether or not they would rather see less content, but intentional captions + photos, or more content more often, but shorter captions and less intention behind presentation of photos.
I was shocked by the results.
I thought surely everyone was expecting poetry for all of my captions and hands-down, the best photos in the most perfect order laid out in the most aesthetic way possible. But according to the poll, I was very wrong. I am learning in this season that for social media purposes maybe “done” is truly better than “perfect”.
And that’s a hard thing to understand as someone in the wedding industry who would literally pass away at the thought of someone not thinking their photos were perfect !!
Because the truth is I feel it in my soul, every wedding I shoot deserves poetry to be written in response — every couple and love story I document deserves to be told flawlessly. But I am often so overwhelmed by this that nothing I write feels good enough and I always have way too many photos I want to post for it to look aesthetic lol
So here’s to a season of leaning into the phrase “a photo can speak 1000 words” and not letting comparison stop me from sharing images that hold a special place in my heart. Even if the caption isn’t perfect. Even if they’re in a funky order. Even if I don’t use the scrll app to perfectly display each collection of images.
To the ones who voted more content, less intentionally — thank you for this little slice of freedom from social media 🫶🏼 and to the ones who voted less content, more intentionally — my heart is with you but I am choosing to listen to the people haha
So this is my attempt to give you more — let’s let the photos speak for themselves from here on out, shall we?
P.S. ILY Avery + Eli, your wedding was meant to be lived in color but these black and whites SPEAK to me
