Greenhouses = always an awesome idea for a wedding. Am I right? 🙌🏻 Aliza and Spencer seriously were so giddy and happy on their wedding day, it was infectious to everyone around them. I loved being a part of every minute of it.✨ — On another note, this weekend is actually going to be a little wild. Shooting 2 weddings starting in the OC, then up to Fresno, then ending in SF for an AWESOME engagement shoot. Gonna have some great alone time on the road in my 4-runner to spend time with Jesus and start preparing my heart for @rootedwrkshp in just a couple weeks! Honestly so stoked I could cry. — And then finally after this crazy weekend, I’m RESTING. Taking a day or two to rejuvenate and rest my body. Because if I learned anything this past weekend, it’s that my body, my mind, and my soul will really need it. 💕 — What are you up to this weekend? 🙈👇🏻 _______________________ #danipuringtonphotography #engagementphotographer #adventurousweddingphotographer #authenticlovemag #adventuroussouls #adventurouslovestories #dirtybootsandmessyhair #LOVEANDWILDHEARTS #belovedstories #twinoaksgardenestate #delightfulstories #truelovestory #staywild #wanderingweddings #photobugcommunity #californiaweddingphotographer #californiaelopementphotographer #destinationweddingphotographer #elopementlove #oregonelopementphotographer #washingtonelopementphotographer #utahelopementphotographer #arizonaweddingphotographer #arizonaelopementphotographer #weddingdress #weddinginspiration #greenhousewedding

Hustle. After this weekend, I’ve begun to seriously despise this word I once praised. — I got to spend the weekend up in Seattle with my good photog friend @alyssabrookephoto , and we had some great conversations about self-care. And guys, she’s doing SUCH great things towards self-care - it’s such a passion for her! I loved getting to sit down and talk about it. But anyways, she actually expressed to me how SHE isn’t fond of that word, and as I listened to her, I realized I have a serious problem in my life. — Hustle in our industry is translated to: GO GO GO, keep working, keep moving, don’t stop, do anything you can to make it. But like really... when are we actually supposed to rest and take time to SLOW DOWN? — Fast-paced hustlers have the hardest time slowing down. I know that because I have been one of them. And while from the outside, hustling looks like an awesome thing, it’s actually affected my health. More than I’ve been willing to noticed. — Since becoming full-time (a little over a year ago), I’ve struggled with: 1. Falling asleep and staying asleep 2. Eating 3. Crippling anxiety 4. Mild depression 5. Debilitating migraines And more.... all of which are NOT fun. — And these aren’t all a coincidence. I think at one point during wedding season last year, I became an actual insomniac. Just ask James - I couldn’t sleep at all. It was awful. — So why am I telling you this? Because you might be struggling with similar stuff. And I’m here to tell you to STOP IT. 👏🏻Hustling is not the answer for everything. 👏🏻Hustling doesn’t come before health. 👏🏻Hustling is not the end all that runs your business. Alyssa looked me in the eye and said- How can you expect to show up for your clients if you can’t show up for yourself? 🤯 — So, how are you showing up for yourself? For me, it’s sitting at a piano. Or taking a drive on PCH and getting an açaí bowl in Laguna Beach. Taking one or two days out of the week to step away and NOT work is something our industry needs to know, and something well needed. Am I right??? — Anyways, this is my heart today! And GO FOLLOW @alyssabrookephoto ! She’s literally changed my outlook on rest and she’s SO RAD! 💕
This Valentine’s Day, I’m sleep deprived, a little nauseous, extremely jet lagged, and missin my babe extra hard today. But I’m happy. And full. That’s my state right now. Plus it’s been raining all day today and it reminded me of Megan and Hayden’s stormy first look a couple weeks ago (how precious are they 😭)!! — I guess I really wasn’t expecting Australia to be much of a vacation, but it definitely was. Lots of rest, healthy eating (AUSSIES EAT SO HELTHY ITS UNREAL), and time away from screens. It was really just what I needed. — I’ve been going 100% since like February of 2017 (😂), and I really haven’t had a “vacation” to sit and actually NOT work in a while. It’s sad because I was still working real hard during my month OFF in January - something I wasn’t planning on doing but happened because I didn’t allow myself enough time to rest. Australia really opened my eyes to that. — So this year, I’m blocking out more time for ME, in complete relaxation. No thoughts of work, and no working happening during those periods. Away from screens, completely unplugged. Otherwise I think I might just have panic attacks like daily... kind of like right now 😂. — Anyone else ever feel super overwhelmed? What do you do to rest??👇🏻👇🏻 ____________________ #danipuringtonphotography #engagementphotographer #adventurousengagement #adventurousweddingphotographer #authenticlovemag #adventuroussouls #adventurouslovestories #dirtybootsandmessyhair #LOVEANDWILDHEARTS #belovedstories #delightfulstories #truelovestory #staywild #wanderingweddings #photobugcommunity #californiaweddingphotographer #californiaelopementphotographer #destinationweddingphotographer #elopementlove #oregonelopementphotographer #washingtonelopementphotographer #washingtonelopementphotographer #oregonelopementphotographer
Welp, I just made it home from my adventure in Aussie land, and I gotta say: I got a lot of amazing shots of Audge and Dan (believe me... there is more coming!), but I think this series is by far my favorite. (Trust me, you’re gonna wanna SWIPE LEFT to see these!!!) — Ever since James bought me my underwater camera carriage for our anniversary, I REALLY wanted to test it out with a couple! And boy, was a little challenging trying to get the “right” shot! I had to buy goofy goggles to try and see underwater - you should’ve seen how attractive I looked. 😂 but I’m REALLY proud of these and I’m just super stoked they are in focus tbh!! I also think it tells their story here in Australia in such a unique way - maybe that’s why I love it so much. ✨ — What do you guys think?!?! 🙈🙌🏻👇🏻👇🏻 ______________________ #danipuringtonphotography #engagementphotographer #adventurousengagement #adventurousweddingphotographer #authenticlovemag #adventuroussouls #adventurouslovestories #dirtybootsandmessyhair #LOVEANDWILDHEARTS #belovedstories #engagementphotos #engagement #engagementsession #delightfulstories #truelovestory #staywild #wanderingweddings #photobugcommunity #californiaweddingphotographer #californiaelopementphotographer #destinationweddingphotographer #elopementlove #goldcoast #australianweddingphotographer #thegoldcoast #goldcoastweddingphotographer #underwatershoot #hawaiiweddingphotographer #hawaiielopementphotographer

when the moment is perfect ✨ — You’ve probably seen a lot of these by now, but photos like this are my favorite to capture. It’s always a favorite of my couples too - I think it capture their love so beautifully. 🙈 — Also, today I’m playing with my under water camera carriage in the BLUEST water I’ve ever seen. It’s going to be INSANNEEEE and I can’t wait to try it out with Audrey and Dan!!! Stay tuned for some magic. 🙌🏻 _______________________ #danipuringtonphotography #engagementphotographer #adventurousengagement #adventurousweddingphotographer #authenticlovemag #adventuroussouls #adventurouslovestories #dirtybootsandmessyhair #LOVEANDWILDHEARTS #belovedstories #delightfulstories #truelovestory #staywild #wanderingweddings #photobugcommunity #californiaweddingphotographer #californiaelopementphotographer #destinationweddingphotographer #elopementlove #oregonelopementphotographer #washingtonelopementphotographer #utahelopementphotographer #arizonaweddingphotographer #arizonaelopementphotographer #elopement #bohobride #dressinspo #theiabridal
It’s crazy that I went from this beautiful winter & stormy wedding to tropical summer paradise within like 2 days. I just love where this job takes me! 😂 — And today, I’m EXTRA excited because we’re hiking some waterfalls and exploring some Australian jungle. ...Pray for me that we don’t run into any abnormally large spiders or bats that live here! 😅 ______________________ #danipuringtonphotography #adventurousweddingphotographer #authenticlovemag #adventuroussouls #adventurouslovestories #dirtybootsandmessyhair #LOVEANDWILDHEARTS #belovedstories #delightfulstories #truelovestory #staywild #wanderingweddings #photobugcommunity #californiaweddingphotographer #destinationweddingphotographer #elopementlove #oregonelopementphotographer #washingtonelopement #washingtonelopementphotographer #oregonelopement #bohobride #weddingdress #weddinginspo #weddinginspiration #elopement #elopementinspiration
Sooooo I’ve been keeping a secret. A realllyyyyyy big one. And it’s been a couple months in the making!!!! 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻 🙈 Let’s just say that one 15 hour flight and two days later, I was able to surprise mah girl @audreyguley IN AUSTRALIA yesterday as the love of her life PROPOSED to her!!!!! (SWIPE LEFT!!!) SHE’S AN ENGAGED WOMAN NOW!! 😭 But, um, Yeah. I’m in AUSTRALIA right now! 😂 And I got to capture one of the sweetest moments ever!!! It was so hard to try and stay stable as this happened - I was hyperventilating and crying so hard. BUT GUYS IT WASNT EVEN OVER THERE. 🤫 @dan__darling and I had also been coordinating with Audrey’s parents (@kathygee1 🙌🏻🙌🏻) who also flew out secretly to surprise her. And when arriving at our dinner place.... well let’s just say the waterworks started all over again!! (SWIPE LEFT EVEN MORE!!) 😭 WHAT A DAY IT WAS YESTERDAY !! It was so stinking tough to not updating y’all on my travel plans for this incredible trip, but it would’ve given it all away!! SOOOO if you wanna know everything, head to my story for allll the updates on!! And yes mom, I’m having a BLAST here in Australia (WHERE ITS SUMMER BTW), and I can’t WAIT to see Audrey and Dan again and go exploring even more! 🙌🏻 My only other wish while out here I guess is I really want to feed a kangaroo. So @audreyguley Let’s make it happen, yeah? 🙈✨ ___________________ #danipuringtonphotography #engagementphotographer #adventurousengagement #adventurousweddingphotographer #authenticlovemag #adventuroussouls #adventurouslovestories #dirtybootsandmessyhair #LOVEANDWILDHEARTS #belovedstories #engagementphotos #engagement #engagementsession #delightfulstories #truelovestory #staywild #wanderingweddings #photobugcommunity #californiaweddingphotographer #californiaelopementphotographer #destinationweddingphotographer #elopementlove #australianweddingphotographer #goldcoastweddingphotographer #goldcoast #goldcoastengagementphotographer #hawaiiweddingphotographer
If you work for yourself and have an extreme passion for what you do every day, I have a question for you. 👇🏻👇🏻 — What else are you passionate about that you do for fun? 🙈 — I’ve been taking a hard look at my life before I dive back into work full force again, and I’ve come to the conclusion that all I did last year for “fun” was actually all work related. Meaning it always had something to do with photography. Like, I’m pretty sure I’d qualify as a workaholic. In fact, I even reference that sometimes in client meetings... because ITS TRUE! — Friend, are you a workaholic too? If so, what’s something in your life you could do that isn’t work related, but drives you creatively? — For me, I guess that thing is music. Fun fact: I love to sing, play the guitar, the piano, and also the uke. Music has always been a huge part of my life. But honestly? Lately? Like within the last year? I haven’t done much with it besides singing in my car and leading worship for my high schoolers at my church. — But as I sit here in my quiet house with nothing but my thoughts and HIMYM on in the next room, I can’t help but long for the nice, beautiful sound of a piano echoing in my living room, like the one we had when I was in high school. Unfortunately, we had to get rid of that one, so there’s been no piano in our house for a while. — But you know what? I used to sit at that thing DAILY and just play. Sometimes songs I made up, sometimes playing songs I knew by ear. And it was always a time for me to REST. — So what am I doing rn? Looking and researching online for a nice used baby grand piano that I can purchase. Yep. I’m going to get one. Because the INVESTMENT in a time for rest and rejuvenation this year will reap SO many benefits in my life. — Friend, don’t be afraid to invest in your well-being. Don’t be afraid to be selfish sometimes. And don’t be afraid to NOT be a workaholic - it’s just unhealthy. Life needs balance. So what’s your balance? 😊
