The cake table lady had my back at Anne and PJs wedding. I must have been shifting my gaze between the coconut cake and dark chocolate cake too many times because she cut me a little slice of two heavens. 🤤 #pleasedontmakemechoose ⠀

Tell me your stories about your wedding day jewelry. Is it your something borrowed? If you're already wed, do you still wear the pieces you wore down the aisle? ⠀
⠀
I ordered a pair of large fake pearl dangly earrings from Etsy from a seller in Austraila and was so excited. I anxiously watched the tracking information hoping they would arrive in time. Nowadays, my taste is a little more subdued (absolutely loving this dainty necklace on Latalia), but of course I still love those earrings and will occasionally break them out for a date night.

Advent is meant to be a time to prepare your heart for the coming of a savior. As I try to ready my home for the ten merry guests that will be staying with us the week of Christmas, I can’t help but notice the similarities in preparing my mind and heart. Step 1.) clean the dirt and clear out the junk. 2.) fix the broken pieces left behind from the wear and tear 3.) THEN I can add decoration and adornment to try and make my home more celebratory. If I try to skip to the decoration, I may run out of time for the things that will actually make my home more hospitable, more useable. Advent is the same for my heart and conscious- steps 1, 2, 3. .⠀

☑️✋Let's have a vote- tie or bow tie? ⠀
⠀
My husband wore a real deal tux and bow tie and I gotta say, he was smokin'! Of course, I still think he looks super handsome when he wears a tie with his suit for court. 😍 #scuseme while I #mancrush ⠀

I had a FaceTime meeting yesterday and at the end of our talk the bride said something that really struck me. Earlier the couple had been running down the lists of expenses with her father and trying to stick to a budget, when they came to the photographer category. Back when he had married, the bride’s parents hired a friend with a camera to take some snapshots and called it a day. (I thought the next sentence was going to be, “so he doesn’t understand why we want to hire you.”) ⠀
Now, he remarked, he would pay ten thousand dollars to have a few nice images from that day. The bride’s mom passed earlier this year and images of her, of their love story, connect this man still so in love with his bride. I’m so grateful that this bride shared her story. It’s these kinds of stories that renew my faith in photography being a truly important medium for the extraordinary everyday. ⠀
