Would you want a photographer like this?

I have done a lot of things for photos for clients! Was it always worth it? Maybe. Maybe not 😂 but you don’t know until you try!

At least I hope the effort is appreciated

Drop a ❤️ for the crazy ones out there!

I probably wouldn’t have listened, but…

I was a procrastinator and felt like everything was “good enough”

My effort in my relationships, my effort in my work, my effort in life.

I thought I had it all figured out by doing “good enough” at everything.

Turns out you should try harder than that.

I thought I totally knew who I was (lol sure)

It all changed when I got divorced. I had to learn a lot of things at that point.

How to be organized.

How to define myself.

How to be more intentional. With EVERYTHING.

Because “good enough” wasn’t good enough anymore. If I wanted any chance at success, I had to get my head out of my ass and focus.

Because even though I had support from friends and family, no one was going to put in the work for me.

To be a dad
To be a business owner
To be a whole person

I may not have everything figured out now, but at least I know I’m headed in the right direction.

Drop a ❤️ if you needed this at 21 too

Life advice motivation thoughts 31, all the photos included in this post were from when I lived in China and traveled Asia in 2017 when I was barely 22 years old, married, no daughter yet, no career, and literally no goals or plans in life.

It’s the design and texture on this dress for me.
And how special is it to see each other at the beginning of the day?

Your wedding day will go by faster than you know

That’s why I always encourage couples to remember it in more than one way. You need the TRIFECTA! Photos, videos, and…

Photos give you the visual memories. The moments you’ll frame and put in an album. The images that can last 1,000 words.

Video gives you the sound, movement, and little in-between moments. The voices, the vows, the laughter, and all the moments that photos can’t fully replay.

And finally: journaling. This gives you something even more personal — your own words, your own perspective, the way the day actually felt. What you were thinking that morning. What surprised you. What you never want to forget years from now.

And the best part is, journaling can happen anytime.
Before the wedding.
During the wedding.
After the wedding.
It’s the one thing no one has to pay for.

When you have all three, you’re not just documenting a wedding day.
You’re preserving the story, the emotion, and the meaning of one of the most important days of your life.

Share this with a friend getting married soon who cares about preserving the feeling of her wedding day ✨
