Fun collaborations and guest posts are always welcome.
When I first started the blog, all photos were taken by my friend and fellow wedding vendor Clay Austin! Then my friend Carrie Elizabeth. Now either my hubby takes the pictures or I use a tripod! 🙂
Before, I shot with a Canon 6D and 50mm 1.4 lens which I LOVED until I broke my lens. Thank goodness for that though or I wouldn’t have found/fell in love with my Olympus EM10 Mark III (you won’t believe the price)! I use it with a Sigma 30mm 1.4 lens and I’m obsessed with it! I tell everyone to get it since it has Wi-Fi, interchangeable lenses, touch screen, 4k video and an awesome iPhone app for remote picture taking!
When I’m not using Lightroom to edit my blog photos, I will absolutely use Facetune to soften and clarify my photos and add shading and highlights if needed. I love high contrast images that are bold!
When my husband and I were planning our honeymoon back in 2012, we used a travel agent and made monthly payments of $150 for the year engagement and that was super helpful! My first work trip for the blog, I reached out to a lot of hotels to see if they wanted to collaborate as we had my birthday trip planned for Costa Rica-we got a 3 night stay comped! From there on, we’ve partnered and/or saved up the money to travel as it’s important to us.
Lightroom! I customized my own presets, but there are plenty of great ones like VSCO on the market.
