This year has been quite exhausting, mentally and physically. I know we all experience adversity but a lot of times I wonder if I’m on the right path. In case y’all didn’t know, I flipped my car about 4 and a half years ago(driving drunk.. yeah I know...) and decided to promise God I would give up alcohol because I literally walked away without a scratch. It was a giant setback but it helped form me into the man I am today. It was tough climbing out of the hole I dug for myself, but I pushed through and took care of everything I needed to legally and morally, while still photographing weddings full-time. I am doing my best to use that as encouragement to bring myself back up right now, but it has been extremely difficult. I know we need adversity to grow, but it’s getting to a point where I can no longer identify what these lessons are trying to teach me. I have always had strong faith in God and have remained spiritual, but it can be hard to stay positive when these trials keep coming our way. I’ve been doing my best to reach out to friends, family and God to vent and seek advice, and now I’m asking you. Please let me know what helps you keep pushing forward, what gets you back up when you’ve fallen, and what routines or actions you take to stay on track to be the best version of yourself. I think it’s safe to say that I’ve never been this vulnerable on Instagram, but it’s important for you all to know that being a wedding photographer is not always a thrilling adventure.
Thank you Alyssa, for this amazing photo 🙌🏼
