2 Simple Words Of Advice A Desert Botanical Garden Wedding

Photography… that’s easy. Writing a blog? HARD! Seriously, you would think the hardest part of my job is the actual job. But nope! That’s easy & I was BORN to do it! I walk into a wedding with a huge smile and walk out with a smile and a limp. haha. Blogging is so hard for me though. I’m always racking my mind with what do reader want to know and what should I say about my clients!? So here I am sitting at my desk thinking about these endless unanswered questions yet again!

Well… my readers need to know the message I repeat again and again.

1. Weddings? Do them YOUR way.

And that is exactly what Jessica and Mo did!

This couple is another example of not letting Covid destroy their happy day. Instead they had a small happy day (small ceremony only) and a BIG happy celebration day! And today’s photos are from their big happy day at the Desert Botanical Garden with all their friends and family celebrating their phenomenal love story… and a ska pit… Yeah the dancing was my FAVORITE. Everyone was totally into it and the playlist was to DIE for!

This couple is nothing shy of awesome. I’ve shot hundreds of weddings but this was the first black dress, combat wearing , ska dancing fun loving couple I’ve met! And I’ve never had more fun!!!! I couldn’t wipe the smile off my face and I couldn’t be more excited to show off the photos!

2. Let Your Photographer In- Emotionally

It’s a weird feeling to be a wedding photographer sometimes. You are a creative artist there to capture something special, but sometimes you feel like you are in the way and the client just wants you to do your job and move on. Maybe you seem expendable and just another “vendor”.

But being a photographer is such an emotional job. It’s not about “taking a snapshot” at all. You are all up in the couples space trying to capture the intimate feelings they share the entire day. And if the client doesn’t let you in on an emotional level it’s very hard to capture it.

I felt beyond appreciated, cared for, and wanted at this wedding- They couple made it so clear they were glad to have me there and they fully let me into their own special awesome.

I couldn’t be prouder to have photographed this day for these amazing humans. They let me into their relationships & lives and I was able to capture so much because of it! I am SO stinking lucky to have such amazing clients. I can’t get enough!!!!!

So my two simple words of advice… Do your wedding your way- Let your personality, love, likes and style show up in every possible way. And let your photographer into those intimate real moments. You will be SO glad you did.

Enjoy the photos friends! And stay tuned because it’s wedding & family season and I’m going to try my best to keep posting!

Hugs!
