from the gram

Well, I turned 25 today. Quarter of a century. Like when was I allowed to grow up?? 🤦🏼‍♀️😭 — But for real, if I had to share the one things that’s really stuck with me in my old age (😂😂), it’s to: DREAM. BIG. And I don’t just mean dreaming for money, a big house, a nice car, and materialistic things, but more along the lines of PASSION. What’s your passion? And what are you doing to actively achieve that passion? — I personally believe that life is too short to be wasted doing something you aren’t 100% about. Whether that’s being stuck at a dead end job or stuck pursuing something you’re not totally passionate about. Why waste the energy chasing something you really don’t even want to be doing? This was a hard wake up call I had when I was 22. — When I was 22, I decided to leave my stable Marketing 9-5 $40k annual salary job to pursue something I really wanted to be doing. I didn’t know that it would actually end up being Wedding Photography, but I did know that it wasn’t something sitting in an office... working for someone else. — I feel incredibly blessed to see where my career has taken me at age 25: Running my own photography business full-time. Being able to pay my bills without fear of not making enough. Traveling the world and seeing incredibly beautiful places. Meeting so many other incredible humans in the photography industry (too many to name because you’re all my friends!!) — Not only that, but I got married to the best man in the entire world. And he’s my best friend. And he’s taken up almost half of the first quarter of my life so that’s cool too 😂 — I’m excited to accomplish even more in this second quarter: To expand my business even further. To start a family with the hubs (not now, but soon 😉). And too get even older with James. Praise God for giving me life for 25 years!! ✨✨

I think @indiaearl said it best: 90% of the photos you take with your tilt shift lens will not turn out, but the ones that do are just pure magic. And yet, even though this one is still a little imperfect and the focus is off a bit, I find it so intimate and unique. ✨ Don’t be afraid to try new and creative things friends! 😊 __________________________ #danipuringtonphotography #engagementphotographer #adventurousengagement #adventurousweddingphotographer #authenticlovemag #adventuroussouls #adventurouslovestories #dirtybootsandmessyhair #LOVEANDWILDHEARTS #belovedstories #delightfulstories #truelovestory #staywild #wanderingweddings #photobugcommunity #californiaweddingphotographer #californiaelopementphotographer #destinationweddingphotographer #elopementlove #oregonelopementphotographer #washingtonelopementphotographer #utahelopementphotographer #arizonaweddingphotographer #arizonaelopementphotographer
I have a fun fact for you, and it will honestly probably surprise you. Ready for this? — I was a videographer before I was a photographer. 🙈 SAY WHAAA? — But it’s true! I’ve been creating videos ever since I was a little girl. I loved (and still love!) to document through moving pictures. I would document our family vacations with my “of the age” Canon point and shoot camera, create home videos where we would write scripts and pretend to be legit movie makers with our newer Canon Rebel T3i DSLR cameras (which was my first DSLR camera EVER!), and then eventually, I started my freshmen year at @plnu as a Media Com (aka FILM) major with empty pockets and a heart full of passion. — Now, if you know me, you know that’s actually not what I majored in. I got my basic Communications degree because I thought “there’s no way I’m going to go to LA Film school and spending another 3 years in school for a job that’s probably impossible to get,” and yet, here I am, a creative with a camera, running my own business and able to support my family with my income. I’m not offering video as a service currently, but creating this video actually made me realize something. And GET excited because here it is: — Next year, I want to bring more video into my business. Yep! I want to not only capture through still moments, but also moving moments (which are seriously just as beautiful). Starting with engagement videos. It’s a goal I’m setting for next year: more video, and more projects I want to be taking on. Crazy how this stuff turns out, huh? 🙈 — Who else is super stoked for this?!? I seriously can’t wait to dive into this again! 😄 📷: @hilaurenhello (PS: see the full video on YouTube or IGTV!) ________________________ #danipuringtonphotography #adventure #adventureculture #engagementphotographer #adventurousengagement #adventurousweddingphotographer #authenticlovemag
“In order to pass you must kiss!” 🙈 probably the cutest thing ever from Rebecca and JR’s wedding this past Saturday, it’s fine. 😭 — Alsoooo you might’ve seen on my story, but yesterday was no bueno. I had been going and going for too many days straight, and my body shut down. Literally. — I had the WORST vertigo (like every time I turned my head even a millimeter the room would spin), and it made me so nauseous that I couldn’t eat, sleep, or keep any food down. I thought I was dying. — After a panicked call to my mother (because let’s be real I call her on the daily for help), she told me to take a Dramamine and sit still for an hour. Do you know how difficult that is to do???! — Needless to say, I picked up my phone maybe once yesterday and decided to give my body the rest it needed by sitting down and enjoying Christmas movies. I’m happy to say I’m doing a lot better today, but this was a huge wake up call for me. I haven’t really been exercising, and I’ve been sitting for days and days staring at a screen editing my freaking brain out (not healthy habits friends!), and I haven’t been eating the best. Something needs to change. So, starting this week, I’m taking a jog before lunch to get the blood flowing. I’m limiting my sugar to 1 sweet a day (because holidays am I right). And, I’m setting a hard cut off time for Instagram at 5pm. No exceptions (even before bed). — Friends, what are you doing to take care of yourself? What needs to change next year to keep you healthy - mentally, physically, and spiritually? Share below to inspire others, and let’s start a conversation about it! 😊🙌🏻
I HAVE SUCH BIG NEWS TO SHARE BUT I CANT SHARE IT YET BECAUSE NOT EVERYONE THAT WE WANNA TELL KNOWS BUT I WILL AS SOON AS CAN (and no we’re not pregnant for those already assuming 😂). Stay tuned, we couldn’t be more excited!!! Also, HAPPY FRIDAY! 💃🕺🏼😊✨ _____________________ #danipuringtonphotography #engagementphotographer #adventurousengagement #adventurousweddingphotographer #authenticlovemag #adventuroussouls #adventurouslovestories #dirtybootsandmessyhair #LOVEANDWILDHEARTS #belovedstories #engagementphotos #engagement #engagementsession #delightfulstories #truelovestory #staywild #wanderingweddings #photobugcommunity #californiaweddingphotographer #californiaelopementphotographer #destinationweddingphotographer #elopementlove #oregonelopementphotographer #washingtonelopementphotographer #utahelopementphotographer #arizonaweddingphotographer #arizonaelopementphotographer
Sent off this beautiful urban wedding yesterday and I already miss hanging out with these two. 😭 — Sending off a photo gallery to me is like giving away a piece of my heart. If taking photos could be considered a love language, then it would be my top one. Every gallery I create I pour my heart, time, and artistry into. I grow to know their day, their story, and their love so well. And it helps me put together an incredible story to tell all over again for the people that want it told the most. It’s such a special job - I get to create something beautiful while celebrating with the coolest people on the world - and I hope that my clients truly see how much I love what I do through the product they receive. Just another reason why this really is one of the most special jobs in the entire world, and frankly, why I was meant to be a photographer. ✨ ___________________________ #danipuringtonphotography #engagementphotographer #adventurousengagement #adventurousweddingphotographer #authenticlovemag #adventuroussouls #adventurouslovestories #dirtybootsandmessyhair #LOVEANDWILDHEARTS #belovedstories #delightfulstories #truelovestory #staywild #wanderingweddings #photobugcommunity #californiaweddingphotographer #californiaelopementphotographer #destinationweddingphotographer #elopementlove #oregonelopementphotographer #washingtonelopementphotographer #utahelopementphotographer #weddinginspo #weddingdressinspiration #wedding #weddingdress #sandiegoweddingphotographer #sandiegowedding
I’ve been editing and listening to romantic movie scores as I go, and it’s just about the best thing ever. Almost like I’m in the scene with them, and then I start oozing inspiration and excitement again. Serious magic! ✨ — What do you love to listen to when you create? 🙈👇🏻👇🏻 _________________________ #danipuringtonphotography #engagementphotographer #adventurousengagement #adventurousweddingphotographer #authenticlovemag #adventuroussouls #adventurouslovestories #dirtybootsandmessyhair #LOVEANDWILDHEARTS #belovedstories #delightfulstories #truelovestory #staywild #wanderingweddings #photobugcommunity #californiaweddingphotographer #californiaelopementphotographer #elopementlove #utahelopementphotographer #arizonaweddingphotographer #arizonaelopementphotographer
All I want for Christmas is a plane ticket to somewhere like this again. ✈️ — I keep telling my family that their money for James and I’s gift this year is better spent on experiences - not things. Because MY GOODNESS we have so many things!!! That’s the last thing we need more of! — I’m asking for gift cards for date nights, cool events/concerts that we can go to, a trip somewhere rad in the US or international (or at least a plane ticket to somewhere on our bucket list), because as a married couple, we don’t need things to make us happy. All James and I want is to spend time with each other, and experience this wonderful world together. That’s when we feel closest - through experiences! — SO friends and fam, if you’re reading this, now you know. Materialistic things will make us happy for maybe a week, but an experience where we can explore God’s beautiful creation makes us feel closer to Him and each other. It’s something that we’ll never really forget! ✨🎄What are you asking for this Christmas? 🙈 ___________________________ #danipuringtonphotography #adventure #adventureculture #adventureawaits #engagementphotographer #adventurousengagement #adventurousweddingphotographer #authenticlovemag #adventuroussouls #adventurouslovestories #dirtybootsandmessyhair #LOVEANDWILDHEARTS #belovedstories #engagementphotos #engagement #engagementsession #delightfulstories #truelovestory #staywild #wanderingweddings #photobugcommunity #destinationweddingphotographer #elopementlove #oregonelopementphotographer #washingtonelopementphotographer #banffnationalpark #banffelopementphotographer
I just have this huge love for golden hour. The warmth and golden tones are just magiccc. Anyone else feel? ✨ — ALSOOO let’s talk cyber monday. It’s tomorrow and I feel SO unprepared.
