Happenings from Instagram

i can't even begin to describe the road we took to get up on this mountain. let's just say I didn't breathe until we got to the top 🤣 but damn was it worth it👏🏼 officially done taking weddings for 2019, but still open to doing 1 or 2 more elopements (must be a weekday/ message me)❤️
I'm a big believer in self love and self help. Everyone's jobs and lives are different but most of us have those same insecurities and most of us work our butts off and sometimes don't necessarily get the reward we're looking for. Doesn't mean you're not a badass ass and amazing at what you do. But maybe you should measure your success a little differently than someone that is at the top. We all started somewhere so comparing your stage 2 to someone's stage 10 isn't quit the same thing. Every time I book a shoot or finish a wedding I feel such a sense of accomplishment. I'm so proud of the business I've created but it definitely comes with doubt just like any other job. Comparing yourself to everyone in the industry and when you don't get the job immediately beating yourself wondering why they didn't pick me? Am I good enough? First of all, hell yes you're good enough! Just remind yourself to keep putting out the work you want and being who you are and it will all fall into place. For some good self love / life advice / self love hop on over to @taylorprusa because she's amazing 👌🏼❤️
just laying in bed feeling super pumped to sleep in my own bed. part of this biz of mine involves quite a bit of traveling and I absolutely love that part, but nothing beats wearing an oversized T-shirt with your dog at the end of the bed and my guy next to me. how could I forget our noise machine that is our favorite feature of our bedroom 🤣 home is a pretty great place to be. I absolutely love that we decided to get ready there together on our wedding day. it was one of my favorite parts of the day. 📷: @hannahhicksphoto // edit: me
this bouquet seriously makes me so happy 😍 @evergreenflowerco // what are some of your favorite flowers to see in a bouquet?
headed back east. missing these trees already ✈️ can't wait to see my guy and my pup ❤️
today's vows in the redwoods involved their dogs and eating cheese. so pretty much my life. feelin reallll good about my people 👌🏼❤️
today starts my 31st year in this pretty badass world. older and wiser ehhhh maybe, but I'm just trying to enjoy the time I have with the people I care about most. I'm so damn thankful for all the opportunities I've been given and the chances I've taken. if your life isn't playing out like you want to then I suggest you make a change. you're in control. do what makes you happy. it may be hard, but it's always worth it and when you have a pretty kick ass support team that makes all the difference.🎈 thanks @erika_brooke for capturing the true me🤣👌🏼
In bed early because I'm headed back west early in the morning for an amazing wedding in the Redwoods!! Cannot wait👏🏼 feel free to follow along in my stories ✈️
headed back west tomorrow morning so it only made sense to finish this BLOG post of Mitch and Diana's wedding in Balboa Park 🌴 follow the link in my profile for all the goodies👏🏼
trying to remember what he was actually saying at this time but I'm pretty sure he was just making animal noises and I thought it was hilarious 🙃🤣 📷: @hannahhicksphoto // edit: me
the question everyone gets asked after they get married is 'does it feel any different?' Honestly most people I've asked or have heard talk about it have said 'no' it feels the same, but I'm going to have to disagree. I'm not saying it's a life altering event that changes the entire course of how you feel about your significant other, but I am saying it feels different in the best way. We've kind of done our own thing our entire relationship so I've always kind of thought of us as a team. But now that really feels true. Knowing that he's my person and we'll be there for each other just seems more real. It's almost like a feeling. Literally I feel more 'whole' inside (not the kind of full feeling like I just ate pizza, but I'm always down for that) more like full of happiness. That is cheesy AF I know, but I just can't help looking at him thinking how much I love that guy and know that we chose each other to do this whole thing called life with. That's my two cents. Yes I'm a sappy romance person but shit I tell people's love stories for a living, it only makes sense🤣❤️ 📷: @erinyaegerphotography // edit: me
