Wedding Inspiration

I’m Learning That Home Is More Of A Feeling Than A Place, And Adventures Don’t Have To Be Outside Of Your Zip Code. I Used To Get Jealous Of All Of These Photographers Living In Cool Places Like California Or Utah- “of Course Their Portfolios Are Amazing, Mine Would Be Too If I Had That As A Backdrop!” I Was So Envious Of The Locations They Had At Their Disposal, And Lamented The Unfair Correlation Between Notoriety And One’s Home Base. And While It’s Definitely True That Dramatic Landscapes Garner Likes More Easily, It’s Absolutely False That You Need To Live Somewhere Cool To Create Magical Photos. Not That Florida Isn’t Cool, I Guess- It’s Just So Flat😭 I Thought I Hated Our Sea-level Elevation, And Unpredictable Weather, And All Of Our Freaking Palm Trees Everywhere. When I First Started Setting Up Shoots And Would Brainstorm With My Peers, They’d Say, “where Do You Want To Go?” And My Response Would Always Be, “somewhere That Doesn’t Look Like Florida.” I Wanted Mountains And Valleys, And Tall Grasses And Pine Trees, Red Rocks And Cliff Faces And Redwoods And Moss! (so I’m Moving, But That’s A Different Story!) I Was So Busy Wanting What I Didn’t Have That I Never Stopped To Appreciate This State Of Mine. I’m Going To Miss The Beach. I’m Going To Miss This Incredible Sunrise Lighting, Even Though I Have A Love/hate Relationship With Early Alarms. I’m Going To Miss The Incredible Couples I’ve Gotten To Work With! But It’s All Taught Me An Important Lesson: You Can Find Adventure Anywhere. That’s True For Absolutely Everybody, But Photographers, I’m Talking To You Here: Try Something New. Manipulate The Light Differently, Add Foreground, Be Strategic About Your Background, Invest In A New Posing Course. When You’re At The Beach, Get Away From The Water! Look For New Angles And New Opportunities. Do One Thing At Every Shoot That You’ve Never Tried Before. Edit A Photo Without Using Your Presets. You Can Find Magic Everywhere. You May Just Have To Get A Little Creative😉✨

This Week I Got To Spend A Magical Evening With Andrea & Ted In Yosemite National Park. They Asked Me To Photograph Their Vow Renewal In A Place They Love The Most. You Could Tell Yosemite Means A Lot To Them. They Walked With Reverence And Joy. It’s Hard Not To In This Place.⁣ ⁣ I Can’t Believe I Get To Call This Mountain Range My Home! And Let Alone Photograph Amongst It! Gah. Thank You @hey.clementine.floral For Having Me A Part Of Your Day.

Navy Blue Beauties 🤍 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’m A Big Fan Of Incorporating A Touch Of Tradition Into Your Wedding. Adding Blue Into Your Wedding Invitations Can Be As Subtle As The Ink Color To As Bold As Blue Card Stock, Or As Modern As A Blue Belly Band Or Wax Seal Embellishment. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ How Would You Include Blue In Your Invitation Suite? 💌

That Just Married Glow! 💖 Regardless Of Whether Or Not My Couples Opt For A First Look, I Always Love To Still Sneak In Some Portraits After The Ceremony Or During Sunset To Capture Those Romantic Shots That Are Actually The First Photos Taken As Husband And Wife! These Are Some Of The Very First Photos Of You After Saying “i Do” And They Are Oh So Special! I Love Prompting My Couples To Tell Each Other Their Favorite Part During The Ceremony Or Whisper What Part Of Their Vows Were Their Favorite!! It’s Also One Of The Few Times During Your Wedding Day That You Both Will Get To Spend Alone Together And I Think A Lot Of Couples Don’t Realize How Much That Will Mean To Them! During This Time I Love To Capture The Emotion And Love My Couples Have For Each Other In Natural And Candid Shots, But I’ll Also Get A Few Of Them Looking At The Camera, Smiling, Because Let’s Face It, Mom And Grandma Are Gonna Want Those Shots! 💖 What Are Your Favorite Kinds Of Wedding Photos? To My Brides To Be, Which Ones Are You Most Excited For? Comment And Let Me Know!!
