Cheers to weekend and whatever adventure lies ahead of you! #nycblues #getit
I think I love NY in all forms. Summer, winter, night, day, in the city, upstate, in all its various forms of transportation 🙈 I love that it never ceases to beat you up and surprise you. I love that you can stumble upon an organized outdoor wedding ceremony in one of the craziest parks and walk two blocks and watch someone pee on the street. It's beautiful and rare and full of so much personality, perspective and individuality. I want to meet each person and hear their story but also respect their hustle and need to not give a flip about me 😂 I'm thankful for the chance to visit again, for my amazing best friends and hostesses, and the chance to do a little bit of what I love in a city I love. Until next time NYC ✌🏻
Packing (last minute whoops) for NYC and super pumped to have some fun with my best friends along with a little work 😉 Its all fun, inspiring and exciting work though so I'm pumped!! There are many things dangerous about this trip. 1. It's NYC restaurant week 😳🙈 2. My bf's photography studio is right by @bhphoto #dangerous 3. I'm meeting up with so many people that make my heart so happy 🤗 4. I shopped at Whole Foods today and feel inspired to attempt paleo again (which lasted all of two weeks last time before I started blacking out). Suggestions for all the above are welcome 😂 My brain is spaghetti and I'm ready for a weekend away ✌🏻out bham! #lovebetravels 📷: @katemaxstock
If you're not a photographer you might ask, What do you do when you're not photographing weddings on the weekend? Do you work during the week? Outside of shooting a wedding there’s thousands of photos that get sorted, color adjusted, retouched, made perfect, exported, and uploaded. Then there is client meetings, vendor meetings, emails, blogging, book keeping, organizing and all the other fun things that come with running a business. About a year ago I was in over my head and figuring out that I was to the point where I need some help. I realized that I couldn't do it all and was venting to friends about how I needed two of me- someone to edit while I could do all the other things to not just make it but be able to grow my business. That’s when sweet Ryane came offered to learn and as a result literally came to my rescue! She learned then mastered my editing style. She is another friendly and encouraging face to keep me company each week, and she is now shooting most wedding weekends with me. Not only is she a dear friend of mine pre-working for me but she’s still a good friend one year into working for me 😉 She spends her weeks working part time with me and part time as a very talented marriage and family counselor. We dream, problem solve, create, and brainstorm together and to say her being on my team is a blessing is a huge understatement. This weekend I'll leave to go to NYC and I worry way less knowing that weddings will continue being edited while I'm gone and delivered right on schedule. Having her helps me AND my clients get better served, and I’m so thankful that she took a leap and joined the Love Be team. @ryanerice , I love you and you can never leave. #lovebebts #lovebeteam
Things that are better than a rainy Tuesday (that feels like a Monday): coffee, puppy snuggles, editing gorgeous details like the one above, time with other wedding vendors at #tuesdaystogether and checking tasks off your to do list. Things that are worse: med clinics and getting diagnosed as officially sick #imissmypediatrician
In your love you see only your two selves in the world, but in marriage you are a link in the chain of the generations, which God causes to come and to pass away to His glory, and calls into His kingdom. In your love, you see only the heaven of your own happiness, but in marriage you are placed at a post of responsibility towards the world and mankind. - Dietrich Bonhoeffer
