  • Social media and I have a hot and cold relationship. Because of this, every so often I feel as if I need to remind this platform (and myself) that humans cannot settle to live through a screen. Because life is not curated. It is chaotic and messy and sometimes just not picture perfect. These apps are curated. Tailored to fit a perception, or persona. As real as this picture was when I took it, I’m not there now. It’s a generated piece of content to make you stop your scroll and engage. So, let’s take a second to remember how important those beautifully messy moments are. Those ones that come and go when you don’t have your face in a phone. My hope is that you can look someone in the face today and really see them. And if not, then at least sit. Sit and take in the world, and the relationships that are right in front of you. I definitely need to at least, so if you do too, please join me! // #travelmariss

  • Shall I get weird on you and tell you that my dream last night consisted of a piece of toast, a paper cup, and the ocean? Or just let you enjoy the pretty flowers? I’ll just let you enjoy the pretty flowers 😂🙊. // #mdphotoweds #marissadeckerphotography

  • I don’t feel 29. Actually if I’m being honest, I kinda feel like a 45 year old mixed with a 14 year old. It’s a weird life I’m living, don’t yell at me. Whatever the age I feel the best I’ve ever felt. Not just physically but also mentally. There were moments in my twenties when I thought I had myself figured out, and then I’d hit the next year and realize everything about myself changed. I had this idea of who I always wanted to be and somewhere around year 27 I realized that my real self was kinda way cooler than that made up version. I know it’s weird. I mean, who in their right mind finds their own quirkiness cool? Welll, I do. I love that I sit cross legged in chairs, and secretly like being hugged. I enjoy dancing as I walk and watching the special features of movies. I wouldn’t change that I speak as if I’m a real life exclamation point or that I need to write my name on something if I’m holding a pen. I also don’t find it odd that I love my bed more than some human beings, nor that I strive to witness the sun rise as often as possible. These late twenties have been good for my soul, and I cannot wait to see what the last year of this decade brings! I have more quirks on the blog today (29 to be exact 😂🙈) so if you’re in the mood to read something - click that link in my profile and laugh on my friend, laugh on! // #marissadeckerphotography

  • I got to sit and drink wine with one of my 2018 brides this evening! Haha annnnnd I got to joke about how I feel like I know all the things about everyone thanks to social media. Which - I KNOW - is creepy, but this whole platform is wack like that. Allllll I can say is that seeing people in person definitely outweighs all these likes and insta stories. Sometimes it’s better to feel as if you are a part of something a little more solid! Mkkay rant over! I’m gonna go back to editing now. LOVE YOU KIDS! Go hug someone before bed! // #mdphotoweds #marissadeckerphotography

  • Beautiful story with ☝🏻 image guys. Kyle had this special necklace made for Reanna. In the bind of the ‘R’ holds some of her father’s ashes. The sentiment was so he could always be a part of their wedding day. Don’t mind me, just alll the happy tears 😭 forever with these two. Happy Family Day kids! // #mdphotoweds #marissadeckerphotography
