Yes, you totally read that right! What started as a casual day trip to Philly in order to celebrate Emma’s birthday, turned into our public television debut! As I am sure you know, I am a huge shopaholic. Clothes, shoes, food, whatever you name I have way too much of. So it was only fitting that we started the celebrations shopping at Anthropologie in Philadelphia, PA! After money had been spent we walked outside just in time to see a pretty fancy camera crew walk by obviously in search of something.

If you’ve learned anything from my blog yet, it should probably be that I am a huge sap. And with that comes a love for writing, a love for expressing my feelings and finding deeper meanings and a love for finding a lesson in everything. I think that’s why I love travel so much, because I always learn something in the end. Before this trip I really started to think about my business and how it was affecting my life. Of course this thought began while in a car (that’s important to know for before I begin this metaphor).

As some of you know, I recently just shot my first destination wedding. Before even shooting this wedding I knew that this would be one I would feel passionately about. A wedding that would make my heart rate speed up and make happy tears free fall. Because of this, I decided to share WHY! Why are destination weddings so important to me? Why do I want to branch out and start shooting more destination weddings?

Last week I had the opportunity to travel with Karena Dixon Photography to shoot a wedding in Charleston, SC! Karena has always been a huge influence in my life and is an even bigger influence when it comes to photography. I mean she did teach me photography (hence why I call her photo mom).
