WOLVES WHO WANDER : YOSEMITE, MONO LAKE, BODIE, CA

 

here we are…finally jumping back into a little journaling not only on the stunning weddings that we’ve been a part of but also the journeys we love to take with our kiddos. we feel so lucky that our clients share so much of themselves with us that it is important to share our journey with you all, as well. there is a lot to catch you up on but we will start with our latest trip to yosemite.

we travel a lot for work and usually bring our pack with us . but its exceedingly rare for us to go on a work-free trip as a family. by november, we are always a little frazzled and exhausted. shooting season winding down and delivery season in full swing. so we decided to escape to one of our favorite places to tap back into the universe and re-center our souls…YOSEMITE! this trip was a little different than usual. instead of hiking backpacks we brought our bikes and decided to keep things really chill.

we started in the south entrance at the mariposa grove which was extremely special since we haven’t been since our wedding weekend due to closures and renovations. then we went to dinner at the wawona for a little ode to our wedding reception, then slowly made our way into the valley. little did we know it would not only be super quiet from off season but lit by the full moon. the next day we took our time biking, hiking and picnicking around the valley then finished up the night watching the full moon rise at glacier point. on our last full day we decided to head out of the park to mono lake then north to the ghost town of bodie. worth every minute of the drive. a place like no other.

it was just the trip we needed. always remember to give yourself time to turn off and reconnect with nature. we couldn’t be more thankful that our children are so adventurous and always up for the adventure, especially to the outdoors.

THE SWEETEST KIND OF LOVE IN NEW ZEALAND

 

we’re always excited to head to new zealand for some epic love. on this journey got to shoot the sweetest of all the love stories: two strawberry farmers. maybe it was their SURREAL kiss. maybe it was their homemade ice cream on their farm. maybe it was the vintage cars they pulled up in. or maybe it was the dress that hannah’s mom made just for her. but there’s something about this wedding that we just adore. maybe it’s because it reminds us a little bit of our own shindig? it felt like a total labor of love and we ended up falling head over heels for the whole affair.
