⚠️ MORE ENGAGEMENT PHOTOS⚠️ let’s talk about how it’s been like being on the OTHER SIDE.👇🏽 if you don’t know, I am also a bride to be/COVID bride/all of the above. I got engaged to my high school sweetheart almost a year ago + it has been the absolute best season of life so far. I cannot wait to marry him in september 🤍 I wanted to chat with y’all about how it’s been for me, personally, to be on this side of things though: 👉🏽I feel like because i’m also going through all of this, i’m able to relate so much more to my couples and I LOVE that because i have this huge thing in common with y’all + it helps me grow as a business owner! 👉🏽I can totally relate to feeling awkward in front of the camera 😅 you’d think that because I photograph couples as my job, i’d know what to do... WRONG. Joel was way better at it than me lol 👉🏽communication is KEY. I have always been a communicator, an over-communicator i’d even say. as a bride myself, I appreciate when people respond to me, promptly, whether it was an away message giving me a date they’d be back in the office or just a response, it makes a big difference. 👉🏽you don’t always have to have EVERYTHING together. during this time, COVID especially, we’ve all had to be flexible, be understanding + all do our best to make things work and do what’s best for all parties. being flexible + understanding of everyone during this time is so important. 👉🏽DO WHAT’S BEST FOR YOU. gosh, I cannot preach this enough!! again, with everything going on, everyone’s situation is different. everyone has different factors that come into play. there is NO right or wrong answer/way of doing things. do what makes you and your partner happy, this is YOUR day. I have been so honored to be able to go through this part of life alongside my own couples! feeling the excitement, the ups and downs, and just being able to relate to them on a whole other level has been such a blessing. 💫 ANYWAY, which one out of these is your fav!?👇🏽

one thing I have loved while getting to know Morgan + Chad is their little family. like myself, they are extremely family oriented and I absolutely LOVE that. they have two little ones: Zane + London and let me tell you, they are the freaking cutest. (just SWIPE + you’ll see!) morgan, chad, the kids + their families are the kindest, selfless + most welcoming people + I can’t help but think about how blessed I am to call wedding photography my job. the idea that I get to capture a couples best day + celebrate with them + their families is the absolute best; truly so thankful 🥺 PSA: I will be posting some more engagement photos over on @ais.malayter tonight! 💍 I’m really going to try to use this account more to share more of my life behind the camera, so make sure you give my personal page a follow if you want to keep up 🥰

officially awake + not feeling too bad 😅 the numbness is gone; i just have a little swelling in my cheeks and am still a little sleepy, but other than that, feeling pretty dang good! let’s talk about lastnight though: if you guys remember, i shot a proposal back in December + it was with two old high school friends. well, lastnight we photographed their engagement + it was SO fun! we hiked (i know, rare for me, but i did it 😅), and after a full day of clouds + drizzling, all clouds cleared up for a beautiful sunset 💛 i am taking the rest of the day off today + will be back responding to everyone tomorrow! thank you for being so patient ✨

TO ALL THE 2020 BRIDES OUT THERE👇🏽 I am with you. I am in the same boat as you + I am here for you. for those of you who don’t know, I am getting married in September. to all the brides out there, I know what you’re going through. the stress of the uncertainty, having to make decisions so quickly you don’t even know if it’s the right one, stressing about the day you’ve been dreaming about for so long now, let me tell you: no matter what, it will be okay. ✨ today, my maid of honor and i replanned my bachelorette party for the 3rd time.. It was originally supposed to be in Chicago, but due to it going back a phase, we moved it to Indianapolis. Well, Indiana is now cracking down and so we decided just to move it to a weekend on the lake. as long as i’m with all of my closest friends, nothing else matters. I was one of “those” girls who has had her wedding planned since I was 16. I had a wedding binder, pinterest boards for every event, everything. now that the time has come and life has thrown so many curve balls our way, ive had to be flexible. i’ve had to shift my mindset, and it has helped me so much. 🙌🏽 WHATEVER YOU DO, DO IT FOR YOU. If you and your babe want to have that big wedding + party and you choose to postpone, do it. if you and your babe just want to be freaking married already, then do it. DON’T let anyone tell you that one decision is the “right” decision. Everyone’s situation is different and we need to be reminded of that sometimes. I understand what you’re going through, it sucks, but when you’re handed lemons, let’s try to make some lemonade 🍋. the world needs a little more positivity now more than ever ✨
