from the gram

This is my last day on the gram for a while!!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻 And to all you lovely folk asking where we will be headed on our road trip 🚗, I’ve listed our itinerary below (thought it would be fun to share!): 1. Pismo Beach, CA 2. Big Sur, CA 3. Salt Point, CA 4. Redwoods NP, CA 5. Crater Lake, OR 6. Olympic National Park, WA 7. Mt. Hood, OR 8. Mendocino, CA - All within 10 days (😱)! We will be in our rooftop tent trekking along, and our expenses will be in food, gas, and campsites. That many destinations for not a lot of money and time in the outdoors = always always always worth it. 😊 . NOW FRIENDS, we are looking for diner/bar/restaraunt recommendations! If you have any in these areas, share below!! 👇🏻👇🏻 Otherwise, I’ll see you back on July 1st! 👋🏻👋🏻 #peaceandblessings ____________________ #danipuringtonphotography #adventure #adventureculture #adventureawaits #engagementphotographer #adventurousengagement #adventurousweddingphotographer #authenticlovemag #adventuroussouls #adventurouslovestories #dirtybootsandmessyhair #LOVEANDWILDHEARTS #belovedstories #engagementphotos #engagement #engagementsession #delightfulstories #truelovestory #staywild #wanderingweddings #photobugcommunity#destinationweddingphotographer #elopementphotography #californiaweddingphotographer #sandiegoweddingphotographer #desert #elopements
Who knew that San Clemente had some EPIC slot canyons?!? I think I found my new go-to place for beach shoots! 🙌🏻✨ . Also road trip update: t-minus 48 hours until departure and I’m going a little whack. Checking lists on lists to make sure we have everything, making sure I wrap up everything I can with my business before we leave, and trying to remember to eat today. But really - can we talk about taking a vacation when you own a business? . As a sole proprietor, I am the only person currently working and running my business. When I leave for a vacation, no one else is manning the desk in my place. The amount of planning, emails, and preparations I’ve had to make for just a 2 week vacation is something they don’t tell you when you get started with your own business. It takes lots of thought, hard work, and forward thinking to be sure that everything is taken care of. And all of this is so I can unplug and BE for a couple days - something I haven’t done in like 2 years of running my business. 🙈 . Needless to say, I’m excited for our trip and to get off the gram for a bit, but to all my clients needing me, fear not! I have systems in place to take care of you. You have been thought of. You have been considered. Just remember that I’m in need of a little grace for these two weeks and that I love you all so much! 😊 . PS: if you need me urgently, I will be responding to emails in need of immediate attention. ✔️ _______________ #danipuringtonphotography #adventure #adventureculture #adventureawaits #engagementphotographer #adventurousengagement #adventurousweddingphotographer #authenticlovemag #adventuroussouls #adventurouslovestories #dirtybootsandmessyhair #LOVEANDWILDHEARTS #belovedstories #engagementphotos #engagement #engagementsession #delightfulstories #truelovestory #staywild #wanderingweddings #photobugcommunity #californiaweddingphotographer #destinationweddingphotographer #sandiegoweddingphotographer #elopementphotography
This. This wedding, this moment, it was perfect. ✨ . There were so many special details included throughout their day, like the bride’s dad building the sweetheart table and the ceremony backdrop, or all of the hand written escort marble tiles that the bride had made. Not to mention alllll the tears, laughs, and beers shared. . Brianna and Danny, thank you for letting me capture such a special day! I’m so incredibly blessed to have been able to dance with you, walk all around Liberty Station with you, eat Baked Bear with you, and capture your love in the most authentic way - even when we escaped to get a beer at a bar away from your venue. Check out some more sneak peeks in the story! ✨🙌🏻 ______________________ #danipuringtonphotography #adventure #adventureculture #adventureawaits #engagementphotographer #adventurousengagement #adventurousweddingphotographer #authenticlovemag #adventuroussouls #adventurouslovestories #dirtybootsandmessyhair #LOVEANDWILDHEARTS #belovedstories #engagementphotos #engagement #engagementsession #delightfulstories #truelovestory #staywild #wanderingweddings #photobugcommunity #californiaweddingphotographer #destinationweddingphotographer #sandiegoweddingphotographer #thebricklibertystation
This moment with my dad was one I’ll never forget. I’ve never seen my dad actually break down and cry, but when this happened on my wedding day, I was overwhelmed with emotions. When he started crying, I started crying, and it was just a huge mess. Dad, I love you so much. Thank you for being my encourager, my role model, my advisor, my financial aid when we need it, and most importantly, the best darn dad there ever was. I love you. Happy Father’s Day.
Today calls for adventure. Get out there, explore with your favorite person, and see the world’s magnificence. ✨🌎 __________________ #danipuringtonphotography #adventure #adventureculture #adventureawaits #engagementphotographer #adventurousengagement #adventurousweddingphotographer #authenticlovemag #adventuroussouls #adventurouslovestories #dirtybootsandmessyhair #LOVEANDWILDHEARTS #belovedstories #engagementphotos #engagement #engagementsession #delightfulstories #truelovestory #staywild #wanderingweddings #photobugcommunity #destinationweddingphotographer #elopementphotography #banffnationalpark #banffphotographer #elopementphotographer
I’m really excited about this one. I just blogged our Yosemite adventure with Marlee and Austin! Started in the valley and ended at the best place in the world. Check it out on the blog (follow the link in the bio!) 🙌🏻 . Also.... guys. I’ve sent out FIVE galleries in THREE days and my brain hurts a little but I’m feeling a bunch of momentum so I’m just going to keep going til I fall asleep or my husband makes me dessert (if you’re reading this babe...🙃). _________________ #danipuringtonphotography #adventure #adventureculture #adventureawaits #engagementphotographer #adventurousengagement #adventurousweddingphotographer #authenticlovemag #adventuroussouls #adventurouslovestories #dirtybootsandmessyhair #LOVEANDWILDHEARTS #belovedstories #engagementphotos #engagement #engagementsession #delightfulstories #truelovestory #staywild #wanderingweddings #photobugcommunity #elopementphotographer #destinationweddingphotographer #californiaweddingphotographer #yosemitephotographer #yosemitenationalpark #elopementphotography
Two loves dancing in the desert. ✨ . Currently looking for some fun creatives to take some photo and video of my husband and I! Head to the story for more, or message for details! Especially if you’re looking to shoot in Yosemite or Joshua Tree... 😉 ________________ #danipuringtonphotography #adventure #adventureculture #adventureawaits #engagementphotographer #adventurousengagement #adventurousweddingphotographer #authenticlovemag #adventuroussouls #adventurouslovestories #dirtybootsandmessyhair #LOVEANDWILDHEARTS #belovedstories #engagementphotos #engagement #engagementsession #delightfulstories #truelovestory #staywild #wanderingweddings #photobugcommunity #destinationweddingphotographer #elopementphotography #californiaweddingphotographer #joshuatree #joshuatreenationalpark
Couldn’t have pictured a more perfect night. ✨ . I’ve been really diving into challenging myself with blue hour/night time photos lately, and honestly, it’s been the most rewarding thing. I now bring a tripod to every shoot, and use these photos as almost a “cool down” from the session. To bring us back to reality, soaking in the last few minutes of daylight, and afterwards celebrating a successful shoot with a nice fat burger and ice cold beer. 🍔🍻 . BTW, if you know me, you know I LOVE getting food with people, especially my couples. Food is my love language. So if you’ve booked me... be prepared to be spoiled with a nice dinner after our shoot. And I’m paying, no questions asked!!! 🙈 ________________ #danipuringtonphotography #adventure #adventureculture #adventureawaits #engagementphotographer #adventurousengagement #adventurousweddingphotographer #authenticlovemag #adventuroussouls #adventurouslovestories #dirtybootsandmessyhair #LOVEANDWILDHEARTS #belovedstories #engagementphotos #engagement #engagementsession #delightfulstories #truelovestory #staywild #wanderingweddings #photobugcommunity #destinationweddingphotographer #elopementphotography #coloradoweddingphotographer #utahweddingphotographer #californiaweddingphotographer
Editing like a mad woman this week to prepare for our super exciting road trip to Washington next week!!! 🚗🏔🏕 I’m seriously looking forward to unplugging from everything and getting to be with my husband, enjoying national parks without having to work. 💆🏼‍♀️ THAT SAID, if you’re thinking of reaching out for a wedding/engagement/adventure session, please do so this week! I will be unavailable for the next 2 weeks starting next Wednesday, so let’s chat before I leave! 🙌🏻✨ _________________ #danipuringtonphotography #adventure #adventureculture #adventureawaits #engagementphotographer #adventurousengagement #adventurousweddingphotographer #authenticlovemag #adventuroussouls #adventurouslovestories #dirtybootsandmessyhair #LOVEANDWILDHEARTS #belovedstories #engagementphotos #engagement #engagementsession #delightfulstories #truelovestory #staywild #wanderingweddings #photobugcommunity #destinationweddingphotographer #elopementphotography #elopementphotographer #californiaweddingphotographer #utahweddingphotographer #coloradoweddingphotographer
How many times have you checked that follower number today at the top of your account? How many times today have you refreshed your posts to see how many likes they got? How many times today have you told yourself “I’m not good enough” or “I’ll never be as good as he/she is”? I’ve probably done this 15 times in the last hour alone. . I have to share something on my heart this morning. I have a problem with defining my value in numbers. By “how many likes my life is worth” to quote the Chainsmokers. I honestly could agree more with that - I’ve fallen into a pattern of defining value, importance, and what my life is worth by how many people are liking my “highlights” in life. . I can’t help but think that this culture we throw ourselves into each day in this virtual world has some type of influence on the way we view ourselves emotionally, physically, and mentally. I hate that it influences me personally this way, but what’s even more heartbreaking is I don’t think I’m alone in this. I’ve always struggled with mental illness - with anxiety and self-worth. But I’m reminded that I was created for something bigger than just Instagram. And I want to share that with you if you struggle with this too. . I am not defined by numbers. I am not defined by how many followers in this virtual world I have. I am not limited to the amount of people I can impact because of the number of people that follow me. I am beautifully and wonderfully made by a Creator that loves me more than anyone on this planet. I am enough. And so are you.
I like stopping traffic on wedding days for moments like this. 😊 . Soooo I have today off. One of the only Saturdays this summer I decided to take off and enjoy with James. Sometimes it’s hard to think about unplugging when your job is your passion and one that you actually WANT to be working at all the time. Here’s how I’ve combatted wanting to work 24/7: by turning off ALL notifications. That means emails, Instagram, Facebook, and any other apps trying to steal my attention. I can’t tell you how many times those notifications dictate my life!!! 😞 . It’s honestly eye opening to take a step back. So friends, remember to rest. Remember to bring it back to what TRULY matters. Remember to BE with who truly matters and is most important in your life. __________________ #danipuringtonphotography #adventure #adventureculture #adventureawaits #engagementphotographer #adventurousengagement #adventurousweddingphotographer #authenticlovemag #adventuroussouls #adventurouslovestories #dirtybootsandmessyhair #LOVEANDWILDHEARTS #belovedstories #engagementphotos #engagement #engagementsession #delightfulstories #truelovestory #staywild #wanderingweddings #photobugcommunity #destinationweddingphotographer #sandiegoweddingphotographer #californiaweddingphotographer #elopementlove #elopementphotography #elopementphotographer #sunsetcliffs
I finally got around to blogging!!! 🙌🏻 ✨ JP and Chiara were glowing. Engaged the night before, soaking in the moment of where they were, watching the sun set on a fantastic day exploring one of the prettiest places on the coast. We were all glowing. ✨ Follow the link in my bio for more of our adventure in Big Sur! ✨ ___________________ #danipuringtonphotography #adventure #adventureculture #adventureawaits #engagementphotographer #adventurousengagement #adventurousweddingphotographer #authenticlovemag #adventuroussouls #adventurouslovestories #dirtybootsandmessyhair #LOVEANDWILDHEARTS #belovedstories #engagementphotos #engagement #engagementsession #delightfulstories #truelovestory #staywild #wanderingweddings #photobugcommunity #elopementlove #elopementphotographer #bigsurweddingphotographer #destinationweddingphotographer #californiaweddingphotographer #pnwweddingphotographer
