Bridal party goals♥️
I hardly ever take pictures, including selfies-funny how that works out as a photographer-but we took this because 1) my office hadn’t been set up yet so we had an empty room this past weekend, and 2) this was my first time getting ready and wearing something other than jeans and sweatshirts since the ending of last year lol
“Your life may not unfold in the way you want it to. You may have to reimagine some dreams. You may have to be more tender or more gentle with yourself. You may realize that all your best laid plans may have been born from a need to prove to others how good you were at being good. Maybe some of your dreams were other people’s dreams you assumed should be yours. Maybe you worked really hard only to find you didn’t want what you thought you wanted. Maybe you want something simple. Maybe you want a grander life than you think you’re capable of having. Maybe. Maybe. Maybe. It’s never too late to want something new. It’s never wasted energy if you’ve been able to know yourself deeper, to see the edges of your desire and joy just a bit cleared. Life isn’t supposed to be a straight line. You can zig. You can chart off course. You can lose yourself and find yourself again. You can rise from disappointment. You can change your mind about everything you thought was certain. It’s your life. Yours. In all your iterations of self, never forget how simple the truth it: your life. Yours.”
-Jamie Varon
“I hope you find the kind of love that makes you a softer person. The kind of love that makes you want to be a better man or woman, the kind of love that believe in you and supports you, that stands by your side. I hope you find someone who quickly becomes your favorite thing — someone who makes the fall less fearful, someone you can’t help but choose every single day. I hope you find someone who shows you just how deeply you can feel, just how deeply you can love. I hope you find something real, because nothing is more beautiful than loving someone who loves you back. Nothing is more beautiful than loving someone who builds you a home in their heart.”
Spent the last month and a half fixing up our new home-which clearly explains my lack of posts lol- but it’s officially moving week over here, and I can’t even believe it! Overwhelmed, but so dang excited🖤
Still dreaming of this amazing wedding on the Maui coast🖤
