FAMILIA

Instagram is my favorite...follow along for updates, new pictures, behind the scenes at weddings and much more!

//Abby + Cody//
I am not even sure I have the words to describe how amazing today was. But what I can say is that, there is no better feeling then leaving a wedding and being sad that it is over. That was exactly how I felt leaving Abby and Cody's wedding. I felt like I was part of their family. I am beyond blessed to have been given the opportunity to see two beautiful souls commit their lives to one another. And Abby, guess what? It was finally your turn, and you looked BEAUTIFUL 🖤

a little unsolicited advice for my dating friends who have turned bitter:
_____
stop saying 'all men/women cheat' or 'men/women are all the same' or some variation of that. Take a closer look at who you're attracted to and who you attract. Figure out why you keep letting people treat you any less than what you're worth. And lastly, stop boxing yourself in. The amount of people who are uncomfortable with dating outside of their race/ethnicity/etc in 2018 is insane. Why set limits on who you can love?
k, I'm stepping down from my soapbox now 🎤⬇️

oh heyyyy. here’s a really close up picture of my face. and here are 5 random facts about yours truly. (because I’ve gotten quite a few new friends/followers so I just want to say “hiiiiii!!!! let’s be friends” like back in kindergarten 🙃)
__________
1️⃣ over the last year and a half I have developed a really bad taste for peanut butter. Even before then I wasn’t a huge fan 🤷🏻‍♀️
.
2️⃣ ice cream is my downfall. I can pretty much say no to a lot of sweets besides ice cream. My current fav is Trader Joe’s mint chocolate chip 🤤
.
3️⃣ I have a teaching degree and I am currently dreaming up ways to use that in this industry.
.
4️⃣ I was only engaged for 45 days before getting married to my best friend.
.
5️⃣ I dream of shooting a wedding or Elopement in the beautiful country of Spain. It’s like at the top of my bucket list. (so hit me up if that’s somewhere you’re wanting to get hitched 😉)
__________
k, that’s enough about me. comment below- let’s be friends. and does anyone relate with me? or maybe you’re polar opposite??? let me hear it. 😍👇🏼❤️

less than 50 days until these crazy love birds say "I DO" and I’m super pumped for their "love grows" themed wedding. Hoping and praying we get some beautiful golden light like we had for their engagement session 🌞

**insert happy tears here**
during portraits Andrew kept snuggling up next to his wife and smiling uncontrollably. Seriously just pure happiness, I love it and I love them! 😍

The back of yo dress is ridiculous 🔥
*if you don’t know where that’s from you’re probably too young**
Y’all, Rachael and Andrew were friggin amazing.

ENJOY THE PROCESS 👈🏼
a phrase I am constantly reminding myself of, because we only get it once. The journey is a gift—not a set back. It prepares us for longevity, it’s FOR us, not against us.
👣
Whenever you are in your process, I encourage you to intentionally choose to enjoy every moment of it. Don’t waste your time figuring out shortcuts. The process is the launching pad into greatness 🙌🏽
Can I get an Amen?

I was going to post a picture of a couple, but those blue eyes got me, I mean just look at them. No color was added to her eyes, I purposely wanted people to see how beautiful they were. This was Alla’s flower girl, her niece. She didn’t say much, but she for sure knew how to bust a move 👧🏼🌼 #realmoments #unposed
