I think a really important factor of wedding plann

I think a really important factor of wedding planning & just getting married in general is understanding that things are def not going to go as planned.⁠
⁠
We can create timelines, we can plan everything down to the minute, we can set systems in place to make sure EVERYTHING happens the way it was meant to - but guess what?⁠
⁠
It's not going to go as planned. ⁠
⁠
But that is totally not the same thing as being perfect for you & your partner. ⁠
⁠
It's so crucial to not sweat the small stuff & to not force timelines - it's what I tell every client of mine as we inch closer to their day - seriously, it's ALL good friends!! I'm going to create extra time if you want to hug a few extra people after your ceremony. I'm going to make sure that whatever time is lost because of authentic moments of just straight up CELEBRATION happen to put us a little behind - we'll make it work. ⁠
⁠
Regardless of weather or dramatics or whatever else decided to pop up to add a little sprinkle of chaos in your day -⁠
⁠
I can promise you that that sprinkle of chaos isn't going to take away from the downpour of joy that you are going to feel. ⁠
⁠
Let me handle the chaos & you just handle lovin' on your person. 😘⁠

In total awe that places like this exist in our world.

Tulsa is home & has the sweetest venues & most beautiful spots to make memories with my clients - but when two cuties inquire & ask if we can travel out to AZ & make an entire day out of them exploring this area for the first time?

ITS THE BESTTTTT

So whether you’re local or have a curious heart that takes you somewhere new - just know that I’m totally supporting whatever is aligned with your relationship & your story 🤗

The SWEETEST trip I ever did take

Seton had me fly out to photograph their proposal in Joshua Tree - TOTAL surprise to Megan. They stayed at the most beautiful Airbnb & we literally just walked right out & started shooting right in the desert. It was SO so fun!! You can seriously just feel the love between these two & I am so thrilled for their future together 🥲

Not ONLY did I get to shoot with the cutest people alive, but I’m also shooting their wedding too?? Yeehaw!!!

So over the moon for you both!

A reminder to you of how truly small we as humans

A reminder to you of how truly small we as humans are compared to the rest of our world.

This place was one of the most incredible sights I’ve ever experienced. Nature blows my mind.

@abbeyrose07 - it was SUCH a treat to get to know you both. We all spent the day exploring & shooting together - it was also their first time in AZ at this spot & I’m just so freaking happy that I was there to document it all for them. So many beautiful memories made.

Back in AZ this weekend & reminiscing about this incredible trip from the end of 2021. ⁠
⁠
Everytime I attend any kind of content day like this one, I am reminded SO quickly how collaborative this industry really can be. ⁠
⁠
I've made the most incredible friends through my working with my couples but also working with other photographers - everyone's usually all spread-out so it's honestly kinda fun knowing someone wherever I might end up (or at least close to it haha)⁠
⁠
& @alexmari_ never disappoints in ANY of her beautifully-done styled shoots. Grateful to have worked with you!! ⁠
⁠
These two are the sweetest. This shoot was SUCH a vibe - natural & carefree. I just LOVE this state ⁠

These two created the most effortless wedding day

These two created the most effortless wedding day ever. ⁠
⁠
The longer I am a wedding photographer, the more I have in common with my clients & these two were SO incredibly down to earth. HECK their ideal date night (which I found out from my sneaky questionnaire I send to all of my couples) is a long, wonderful comfort meal with lots of wine and dessert. Just being present and enjoying eachother. We are seriously kindred spirits. ⁠
⁠
Getting to know every single one of my awesome couples is reason #1321432 why I have the best job ever. I swear the planning/lead up process BEFORE your wedding is JUST as enjoyable for me as your wedding day itself. ⁠
⁠
Grateful to call the two of you friends. :) enjoy that married life!!! ⁠
