So it’s August today and yesterday was Friday... And if you’re paying really close attention you’ll notice my Fun-Fact-Friday that was supposed to start yesterday didn’t. I was at the beach all day with friends (socially distant don’t worry) and sometimes those real connections are just more important than a militantly timely insta post. That being said, the thought of posting Fun-Fact-Friday on a Saturday really makes me twinge. So thanks for hanging in there and for your patience - my new mini series is going to start next Friday! Hope you’re getting to go out and enjoy this weekend in the great outdoors! I will be nursing this sunburn all week 😅

Happy hump day everyone! You've made it half way through this week - virtual high five! And I'm excited to announce a new mini series coming out on Fridays for the next several weeks - woohoo! I'm calling it 'Fun Fact Friday' and it'll be all about how my *other* job is a huge bonus to you on you elopement/wedding day! (And also for adventure sessions, engagements, proposals, anniversaries, all the couples in love!) So not only are you getting all the great photographic goodies (like epic images, tons of planning guidance, and a uber fun wedding experience) but all these extras you never knew about. So before I let the cat out of the bag, any guesses on what my other job is?! Let me know your guesses in the comments below!

Let's start the week off with a little vitamin SEA shall we? 😉🐚 I want to know, are you more of a beach person or a mountain person? Let me know in the comments below! I love the ocean beach, but I always cheat on this question and say my favorite is a mountain lake. That way you get the beach and the mountains! Whether you're up for a stroll through the tide pools with the smell of salt in the air, a hike through the forest with a vista at the peak, or a sail across an alpine lake with pines on the horizon, you know I have you covered for the perfect location for your adventurous, outdoor elopement! And you guessed it, but California has a HUGE coast line, two massive mountain ranges filled with forests a plenty, and almost innumerable mountain lakes. All that in addition to the deserts, canyons, islands, and lush countryside! It's a pretty great state to tie the knot in, I'd say 😉 Ready to start planning your California elopement? Let's get in touch!

Hope you're as pumped for the weekend as Ozzy pup's high jumps! We're getting away for the weekend to Sequoia to camp, disconnect, and spend some good quality family time. Can't wait! PS - Please bring all your dogs to everything - engagements, elopements, adventure sessions, weddings, all of it! Sadly our beagle can't join us for camping this weekend because Sequoia is a national park, but there are plenty of awesome nature playgrounds where dogs are more than welcome! Yep, bringing furry friends to your special day will be an extra level of effort, attention, and more treats to pack, but you know I'm more than willing to play and hold leashes all while making sure you guys have the best day ever! Because sometimes the best day ever definitely includes furry friends!

If you could get married anywhere and anyhow right now where/how would it be? Yes, 2020 has thrown a wrench in a lot of our plans, BUT on the bright side it's also made us reflect on what's truly important. Getting married is ALL about who you're committing your life to in the presence of God not at all about the fluff around getting married. At the end of your wedding day folks, you're married to your best friend! That in and of itself is the most important part of your wedding day. So don't let changed plans rob you of joy! Plan-B, plan-C, plan-D, etc might be so much more awesome, fun, intentional, and so much more *you guys* than your original plan! And you better believe I am with you the whole way as your photographer, planner/guide, and biggest cheerleader/friend helping your small wedding or elopement be that much more meaningful!

There's a pretty big misconception out there that having a small wedding or eloping is somehow a *lesser, not REAL* way to get married... That it's a *fraction* of the experience of a traditional wedding... That couldn't be further from the truth. Choosing a smaller wedding or elopement does not mean you are compromising in any way. Instead you're prioritizing what's important: your relationship and your sacred commitment. (And also perhaps fun, privacy, less stress, being financially wise, awesome locations, adventure/travel, and the list goes on!) The big thing here is that a wedding day perfectly reflective of your love and intentionally about your commitment regardless of the number of guests is a BEAUTIFUL way to get married. What makes your wedding day valuable is how you two feel about it and during it all really being able to soak in the importance of what this celebration is about - you committing your life to your best friend. So, no, eloping or having a small wedding isn't a consolation prize wedding to having a larger traditional wedding. It's just a different experience in the best way possible!
