YEAR ONE: So often people asked āhowās married life?ā and I didnāt really know how to answer that. How do you explain the billions of tiny moments that remind you why you said ā I doā?
Itās the leaving the front parking spot open when you know Iām coming home late, itās the honest conversations about the impacts of getting another puppy, itās the midday walks to get a little fresh air during the workday, itās the tough conversations at midnight about meeting each other where we are, itās experiencing the same things we experienced before we got married but with a new appreciation for it, itās in sickness and in health, itās frustration over simple things, itās constant and constant prayer, itās believing in one another, itās celebrating the wins and learning from the losses (and we had a lot of losses), itās learning each and every day about and from each other, itās sometimes going to bed upset because everything canāt magically just be resolved when youāre tired, itās napping on lazy Sundayās and signing I love you every time we leave a room. Thereās so much to say about #marriedlife and our journey as #newlyweds and most will be kept sacred between us.
The 3 words to explain year one: Supportive. Gentle. Limitless
Hereās to the next set of adventures in YEAR TWO! Traveling around the world, more surprises and trying new things, taking big steps, deep breaths and growing together even more ā¤ļø
Happy Anniversary my love!

In 2022, I learned that videography was more than adding music to visuals. The videography that I was interested in encompassed storytelling and emotions. As I looked back on the footage that I captured from a getaway weekend with some friends, I wanted to experiment more with meaningful storytelling. I hope you all take time out of your day to day to get away and take care of yourselves.
Special thanks to @sundaeink for the awesome logo!
