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

There’s a lot of pressure on this app...
Huh?! Yup, you heard me right. There’s a pressure to constantly be traveling, have more followers, have the perfect Instagram worthy house, the perfect spouse. That in order to have a thriving business you have to be busy ALL THE TIME. It’s all a lot. And I’m guilty of sometimes falling into the trap of what the world wants of me.
But the older I get, I want to live a more simple life. I want to be focused on loving and enjoying the people in front of me. I want to laugh until my belly hurts, I want to go deep in conversation. I want to have the hard talks that come with marriage. I want to care way less about being perfect and more on being authentic.
Behind this app I’m a girl who is figuring it all out. I’m a girl who is trusting God in the big and little moments of life. I am a girl who drinks way too much coffee, looks a hot mess 80% of the time and someone who craves genuine friendship.
And deep down I think we are all looking for our place. So I encourage you to be true to yourself, be fearless, be bold, and love. Don’t let this app pressure you to be someone you’re not or convince you that unless you’re busy, you’re not living.
I hope you friends have an incredible Monday! 💕

One more because I don’t know if I’ll ever stop being obsessed with this engagement shoot. Literally can’t handle 😍☀️

completely obsessed with tonight’s engagement shoot with @_sarahdunham and @mann_dylan , like how are they even real? Can’t wait for their wedding next September. Thanks again for driving 3 hours to do this, y’all are amazing 😍☀️🔥

the other day I talked about first looks, and although there is no right and wrong way, I still love when couples decide to do them. I’m also honored to be a part of them 👣

it’s definitely sweater weather here in Southwest Michigan, but this picture makes me feel warm and fuzzy on the inside ☀️☺️

What’s your favorite thing to do on a cold day? For me it’s light candles, play music and snuggle up with my hubby or in my blue chair. Soon I’ll be snuggling with my baby corgi girl. We still haven’t picked a name yet so feel free to drop names too 🐶

If I remember correctly he kept saying:
"Nina you look amazing, wow, I like it, wow"

It’s always super special getting to be part of first looks. I’m not one to pressure my couple into doing one, but I will say I love them so much. Because it’s such a intimate moment between you and your boo. After that you’ll be going 100mph talking to guest, guest coming up to you to talk, and so much more. So if you’re getting married, Think about doing a first look, I doubt you’ll regret it 🤩

don’t know where I would be without the support of my husband. Although we aren’t a husband and wife duo, I receive some of the best encouragement and pep-talks from him, and that’s the BEST. Love you baby @rubenmnorman 😘
