9.6.26 — I officially joined the married club! 💍🤍
I married the love of my life, Sawyer, and spent the last couple of weeks soaking in all the newlywed bliss!
As we get back into “real life” today, I’ve been reflecting on just how much the last few weeks have taught me… not only personally, but professionally, too.
I’ve photographed countless weddings over the years, and I’ve always known just how much goes into making a wedding day happen. But let me tell you… it hits different when you’ve been through it yourself. 😂
I have a whole new appreciation and respect for every couple planning their wedding, every amazing vendor working behind the scenes, and every little detail that comes together to create one unforgettable day.
Being on the other side of the camera gave me a perspective I didn’t know I was missing. I experienced the excitement, the nerves, the little things that feel very important, the moments that go by way too fast, and all the love and effort that happens behind the scenes to make the day what it is.
I’ll be heading into future wedding days with an even deeper understanding of what my couples are experiencing, and an even bigger desire to help them feel comfortable, cared for, present, and completely themselves while I’m there capturing it.
So, after a couple weeks of being a newlywed, adventuring with my husband, and living in our little wedding-and-home bubble… I’m ready to get back behind the camera! 📸
To all of my amazing clients, thank you for trusting me with your biggest moments. I cannot wait to get back to capturing the real, messy, joyful, emotional, beautiful little pieces of your stories that you’ll get to hold onto forever.
