We hope your wedding day is NOT the best day of your life. We hope it’s the 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 best day. We hope for so many “best days” after the wedding day — the honeymoon, the dancing in the living room, the first Christmas, the 20th Christmas, the anniversaries, the spontaneous ice cream runs, the movie nights, the first house, the celebrations, the empty nest, the adventures. Your wedding day won’t be perfect, but it’s the first best day. And that makes it perfect. Don’t just plan a wedding. Plan a marriage & a dang good party to celebrate it 👏🏼

They almost didn’t make it to their own elopement 😱 Vanessa + Jake had quite the adventure. Their Bali elopement turned into a Sedona elopement and finally turned into an elopement in Tulum. A tropical storm hit Tulum 2 days before wedding day. Just so happens, their flight was scheduled for that day😱 Vanessa randomly woke up in the middle of the night before their morning flight & saw an email saying: CANCELLED. They quickly booked another flight & made it to stormy Tulum. The sun was shining the morning of their elopement and the day couldn’t have been more perfect. Rain drops started falling as Vanessa was reading her vows and honestly, it couldn’t have been more perfect. 😭 It was such a picture of their story. Rain or shine, they were getting married. Between COVID, lost deposits, hurricane warnings, cancelled flights — here they were. On their original wedding date. Exchanging vows and rings and sealing it with a kiss. Nothing mattered. A little rain wasn’t going to stop it. Rain or shine, choose each other. We are still so in awe of this day & how perfect everything came together — even if it looked imperfect on paper, it was everything and it happened exactly as it was meant to🥺🤍

The things I wish I could’ve told myself before starting a business: 👉🏼 You’re not a fraud. 👉🏼 It’s not about YOU or how much you can make. It’s about serving others. 👉🏼 Get legal. Right out of the gates. 👉🏼 Second shoot and learn like crazy. 👉🏼 Choose a photographer you admire, who not only has pretty photos, but who has great insta engagement, reaches the clients you dream of having, gives a great client experience & hire them to mentor you. 👉🏼 It’s hard. A 9-5 job would be a lot easier. You don’t get to come home from work and leave work at work. 👉🏼 Outsource BEFORE you get overwhelmed. As soon as you have more than one client, get Honeybook for goodness sake. 👉🏼 Have fun and try new things, don’t try to be like everyone you admire. Whether you’re just starting or you’re 10 years in, it’s not too late to put these things into motion. 🙌🏼🤍

These two are getting married todayyyy🙌🏼😭🙈 So we’re giving our favorite marriage secrets we’ve been told: 1. Never stop adventuring together. 2. Champion each other. Fight for them. Always, ALWAYS be on their side, even when they’re wrong. And then tell them that they were totally wrong when it’s just the two of you 😂 3. Put each other before family. Before kids. Before friends. God first, & at the center, then each other. Then everything else. Always. 4. Make time for date nights. Even when life is crazy, prioritize date night. 5. Make coming home special. Make your home a sanctuary. Look up from your computer, get up, greet each other. This one seems small, but it sets the tone for every day/night. We’ve heard so much wisdom from married couples we adore & it’s time we share some of their wisdom. There are so many more “secrets” we could share, but the big one is this: Choose each other. Keep choosing each other. What are your marriage secrets? And who did you learn it from?! Your parents, grandparents, just from experience?! Share the wealth👇🏼
