Intention. The word a lot of our couples use to de Intention. The word a lot of our couples use to describe their plan for their wedding day. They want to be intentional about the details, the flow and the experience of their guests. They want to fuse in moments and little details that celebrate their love story and this next chapter.

And they want a photographer who approaches their day with intention, too.

To anticipate moments, to be intentional in composition, lighting, angles and storytelling. To guide and direct a wedding day without overstepping, allowing real moments to unfold. To celebrate trends and styles but will choose to put more emphasis on what will be timeless.

Wedding photos are the first heirlooms you will pass down to the next generations. Let us celebrate that with the intentionality you deserve.

STORY TIME 14 years ago, I photographed my first STORY TIME

14 years ago, I photographed my first solo wedding.

I was 20 years old and had 2 years of wedding experience, but never as a lead. The clients knew this, agreed to this, and I charged them $500 for a full 8 hour day (just so it wasn’t “free”)

And in the end… they hated the photos.

The bride described herself as very expressive. Asked for multiple re-edits, expected photos we did not discuss prior (They were not industry standard photos, but my inexperience showed in how I handled her expectations), and nearly asked for a refund.

I almost quit wedding photography all together.

Maybe I wasn’t cut out for this.

But I persevered and I’m so glad I did. My second couple was an absolute BLESSING. Their wedding was the experience I once wished I had instead for the start of my career.

But now I think otherwise.

There is no way to redo a wedding and I’ve never taken that lightly. For years, I felt shame over these photos.

But I have a new understanding of it all now and appreciate how much I’ve grown.

I actually think I did a pretty good job, too, all things considered (shall I list all the things I had to pivot through, like my 2nd photographer I hired to help me who left during dinner without notice??)

I’m sad that they were unhappy, but I’m still grateful for the experience. 

This is a passion that runs so deep that even when I crashed and burned that first time, I got up and did it again.

I worked harder, communicated better, became more prepared.

I learned from every lesson in which I failed.

A lot of my journey has been exciting. But most of it hasn’t been easy… it’s been earned.

I love this industry down to my bones.

Now, when June 23rd rolls around, I’m not haunted by the memories of failure. Instead, I’m reminded of the resilience I see in this industry, and also in myself. 💛

Something has shifted in how I show up. Anticipati Something has shifted in how I show up. Anticipation has always been part of how we work. Reading a room, sensing what is about to happen before it does. But this season it has gotten sharper and more instinctive.

I think the balancing act of motherhood and being a business owner created that shift. It has taught me to slow down pay attention differently.

Ultimately, storytelling has never felt more important to me than it does right now. Not just on a wedding day but in everything I choose to document and why.

That belief has also found its way into the team, into the way we all read a room, hold space, and tell a story. tmInspired is made of real people, in real seasons, showing up fully.

We have always believed that who you are outside the work shapes everything inside it. This season has found to be proving that more than ever.
