"The Divorced Wedding Photographer" has a nice ring to it, don't you think?

I'M KIDDING.

But that's how this all came to be. The first time I got married, I was very young and the relationship went up in flames. And because I'm a wedding photographer, it got me thinking differently about the wedding industry, marriage, and relationships in general. 

Let me be clear, I did not create this to bash my ex-husband or to trash my marriage. This is a place where I'll share the lessons I've learned from personal experience, as well as from being a professional in the industry. You'll also hear from some of my past couples, friends, and experts about what it means to cultivate conscious, healthy relationships. 

I see people all the time, getting so wrapped up in the wedding planning process, that they miss the whole essence and purpose of the day. The work that a relationship requires does not stop the day you get married, that's when it truly begins, my friends.

Your wedding day is just one day. Your marriage is every day after that. I believe in love. I believe that we all have a person we're meant to be with, and I believe we all deserve to find that and experience it to the fullest. I'm no relationship expert, nor do I claim to have all of the answers. I just want to see more people planning the marriage, not just the wedding!
