from the gram

a night in laguna ✨ Felt moody here after our fun playful shoot at the beach during sunset. We decided to go up to Top of the World for some epiccc night time views, and the warm summer night set the perfect setting for our evening. Can’t wait to share more of their session soon. ✨ BUT IN THE MEANTIME , Im finally back from Zion, and if I’m being completely honest, I’m feeling more inspired, refreshed, and on FIRE for what’s coming next in my life than I ever have been before. On the 7 hour drive home, I had the opportunity to really take advantage of that time with education. AKA: I subscribed to @audible and it’s been the best decision of my life! I’ve been taking some hard looks at my business here, and let me just say.... BIG things are coming folks. I can’t wait to share more!!! Anyone wanna take a wack at what’s coming??!! 🙈🙈👇🏻👇🏻 ________________________ #danipuringtonphotography #engagementringinspiration #engagementinspiration #engagementshoot #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
I’ve got a bold statement for you. Wanna know what it is? You can be whoever you want to be. ✨ Yep. Guess what? You don’t HAVE to do something a certain way because that’s the way most people do it, or tell you to do it. ✨ I’m talking about college. The way you get married. Where you choose to live. What career you decide to chase. ✨ You know the saying, “You can do anything if you just put your mind to it!”? Well, to be honest, if there was ever a more perfect era or generation to apply this to, it’s this one right now. ✨ When I was in school, I originally wanted to major in Media Communications. I liked film, and I thought I’d be really good at it. But when reality set in and I told the lie to myself that it would “never be able to pay the bills” or “it’s not a feasible career,” I settled with the General Communications degree and 9-5 corporate marketing job. Guess how long that lasted. 😂 ✨ The lie that we tell ourselves - that we’re not good enough, we’ll never make it, we’re frauds because we don’t have degrees, we have to put on an impressive wedding for everyone to accept us - prevents us from really doing what we were really made (and want!) to do. I believe I was meant to find photography and build a business out of it. But if I had listened to the lies or the “warnings”, I would have never followed it, and I wouldn’t be where I am today. ✨ Friend, STOP those lies right now. The fact is: You CAN build a business doing your passion. You CAN make 6 figures and not have a degree. You CAN have a meaningful wedding day without having to keep the traditions. ✨ Just because it seems to always be done a certain way, doesn’t mean t has to ALWAYS be done that way. There are different paths to different destinations! So don’t be afraid to take the one less traveled - I promise you’ll enjoy it a lot more. 😊✨
I wanna chat for a second about seasons. And I’m talking about some of the life seasons we go through. Like, The abundant seasons. The dry seasons. The seasons of receiving. The seasons of giving. Seasons of winning. Seasons of losing. Seasons of waiting. Seasons of gratitude. — I guess this is fresh on my mind because I’ve been thinking a lot about my current season. I’ve been in a giant season of waiting. For a big move. For changes in my life. For direction. It’s just allllll kind of one big question mark right now. And I guess if I know myself best, I’m not one to wait. James can attest to this, but I have the WORST patience in the world! And on top of it all, I like to have control and go go go until I succeed and I’m done. — But if there’s one thing I’ve learned most in this process, it’s that I can’t (and shouldn’t) do anything without first taking it up with God, and waiting on HIM for direction. Which is why I’m still in a waiting game - waiting for him to direct my path. And diving FIERCELY into his word and prayer with him. — Sometimes, a season of waiting can be discouraging and disguised as failure. Sometimes stagnancy can look like failure - you’re not moving forward (or at least it feels that way). But whether you realize it or not, God is working and moving in your life - And it’s up to us to recognize that most. Because it’s easy to get in our own heads and make our own perceptions about things. — And if there’s really anything I want y’all to grab from this, it’s that you are not in this alone. No matter what season you’re in. You will never, ever be in this alone. So take courage in that friend! ✨The season you are in right now is right where you need to be. ✨ Remember your thoughts and feelings through this time - write them down! Pick up journaling! Keep track, and see the progress and how you come out in this season. Honestly, that’s what I’ve been doing and I can’t even tell you how amazing it’s been. 😊 Moral of the story: whatever season you’re in right now, you’ve got this. And it’s right where you need to be. 💕
I don’t think I’ve ever met a couple as goofy as Paul and Dani. I loved capturing their TRUE silly and wonderful personalities during this shoot! Lots of tag, giggles, silly faces, and misty wonderfulness! ✨ We originally picked this location because of the view (the LA skyline is usually visible from here!), but as you may know, when the smog mixes with the fog in the early morning in LA, you don’t get much of that view. 😂 So the lesson we learned: even though the setting and weather can be unexpected, we can still have a BLAST capturing beautiful love. 🙌🏻 _____________________ #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
Throwback Tuesday to that time my beautiful friend @katiekathrynkate threw on a wedding dress in the fjords and twirled for @hilaurenhello and I 💕 (and yes I guess I just made throwback Tuesday a thing 🤦🏼‍♀️😂). ✨ If I’m being honest, life lately has been strange. James has been working a lot at his new fire job, and I’ve been at the house working alone more often than not. It’s pretty lonely sometimes when you don’t have coworkers to chat with at the office... or have lunch with. ✨ It’s been a HUGE season of trusting God and seeing his plan in my life - and things are changing friends. BIG things. And I’m currently in the process of developing a plan of action that I’m excited to share soon. (And no I’m not pregnant. 🙈) ✨ But in the meantime, if you’re in a similar season, I just want to encourage you to trust. There’s always a plan for everything, and don’t be afraid to take action to change your situation if you’re feeling stuck in a rut. You have the power to change your situation. You have the power to create a different way. Just trust in the Lord and he will get you there! 😊✨ __________________ #danipuringtonphotography #engagementphotographer #adventurousengagement #adventurousweddingphotographer #authenticlovemag #adventuroussouls #adventurouslovestories #dirtybootsandmessyhair #LOVEANDWILDHEARTS #belovedstories #delightfulstories #truelovestory #staywild #wanderingweddings #photobugcommunity #californiaweddingphotographer #californiaelopementphotographer #destinationweddingphotographer #elopementlove #oregonelopementphotographer #washingtonelopementphotographer #norwayweddingphotographer #norwegianweddingphotographer #norwayelopement
Old ford trucks, the Tetons, and these two. Really doesn’t get much better. ✨ So much goodness from Allison and Clif’s quaint little bluegrass, backyard wedding. Like I’m legit considering building a vacation home out in Jackson Hole one day... honestly one of the prettiest places I’ve ever been. I really can’t wait to share more with y’all! AND CAN WE ALSO TALK ABOUT THEIR PUP?!? 😭😭 ✨ In the meantime, I’ve got 6 meetings and a bunchhhh of emails to get around to and it’s already 5pm. Send help. or coffee. or chocolate. or both. 😂 ________________________________ #danipuringtonphotography #engagementphotographer #adventurousengagement #adventurousweddingphotographer #authenticlovemag #adventuroussouls #adventurouslovestories #dirtybootsandmessyhair #LOVEANDWILDHEARTS #belovedstories #delightfulstories #truelovestory #staywild #wanderingweddings #photobugcommunity #californiaweddingphotographer #californiaelopementphotographer #destinationweddingphotographer #elopementlove #oregonelopementphotographer #washingtonelopementphotographer #utahelopementphotographer #wyomingweddingphotographer #wyomingelopement #jacksonwyomingwedding #jacksonwyomingphotographer #weddinginspo #elopementphotography
Grabbed some wispies and played with them during Lexi and Kevin’s romantics. I know it’s silly but idk it was a lot of fun and we got weird with it and laughed a lot and I’m not mad. 🤷🏼‍♀️😂 Meanwhile, sad to be leaving Wyoming, but excited to get home to my own bed and my pup and my husbabe. Even though we’re not even closeeeee to being done with wedding season (not until like Nov tbh 😂), it’s good to take breaks and be with the people you love and enjoy this life we have. Just a friendly reminder that your life shouldn’t revolve solely on your work. 😊 _____________________ #danipuringtonphotography #engagementphotographer #adventurousengagement #adventurousweddingphotographer #authenticlovemag #adventuroussouls #adventurouslovestories #dirtybootsandmessyhair #LOVEANDWILDHEARTS #belovedstories #delightfulstories #truelovestory #staywild #wanderingweddings #photobugcommunity #californiaweddingphotographer #californiaelopementphotographer #destinationweddingphotographer #elopementlove #oregonelopementphotographer #washingtonelopementphotographer #utahelopementphotographer #arizonaweddingphotographer #arizonaelopementphotographer
Perfect place at the perfect time. Idk, felt like sharing.. 😄 Back story: I was driving home from Yellowstone last night and was taken aback by the amazing beauty of this mountain range as the sun was setting - and then I saw it. An opportunity to get an extremely unique shot. And I had to sprint down an old dirt road to get it. And it only lasted for 30 seconds. But I got it. And I’m v proud of this shot. So I had to share it! 😊 P.S: if you’d like to make this your wallpaper (have had quite a few people ask!), go to my story! 😄 Okay but now back to your regularly scheduled program of wedding posts. ✌🏻 _______________________ #danipuringtonphotography #thegrandtetons #grandtetons #grandtetonnationalpark #elopementinspiration #wyomingweddingphotographer #wyoming #nature

sunrise romance ✨ Currently on my way to Wyoming for an amazing wedding in the Tetons! Can’t WAIT to see my lovely couple and celebrate with them!! 🙌🏻 Alsoooooo I plan on driving to Yellowstone all by myself and exploring the area (cause why not) and I’d love some recommendations on things to check out while I’m there (BESIDES old faithful because that’s like duh). I’ve never been before and I’m excited to explore!! 😊 ______________________ #danipuringtonphotography #engagementphotographer #adventurousengagement #adventurousweddingphotographer #authenticlovemag #adventuroussouls #adventurouslovestories #dirtybootsandmessyhair #LOVEANDWILDHEARTS #belovedstories #delightfulstories #truelovestory #staywild #wanderingweddings #photobugcommunity #californiaweddingphotographer #californiaelopementphotographer #destinationweddingphotographer #elopementlove #oregonelopementphotographer #washingtonelopementphotographer #utahelopementphotographer #yosemiteelopementphotographer #yosemitenationalpark #yosemitewedding #yosemiteelopement
To say that visiting this place was a dream is actually a huge understatement... because I had been dreaming about this moment since middle school (for 12 years, to be exact). ✨ I’ll never forget stumbling across a picture of this place on my first laptop ever (the ones that were white... I’m talking the OG MacBook 😂) and saving it as my desktop background. I’d look at it every day and dream about making the trek out to visit one day. And well, a couple of weeks ago, that dream came true. ✨ As you might know, I was given a fantastic opportunity to capture a beautiful wedding in a small village in France not far from this place, and getting to enjoy and explore because I was given this fantastic opportunity really puts into perspective how blessed we are as photographers. I got to fulfill a pretty big dream, and a lot of that is due to the career that I have. ✨ Don’t skip over on recognizing the little things! You are blessed and given opportunities that you might not recognize are great, but underneath the surface, they could be everything. You just have to be ready to see it. 😉✨ 1st and 2nd photo 📷: @hilaurenhello edited by me! _______________________ #danipuringtonphotography #adventure #adventureculture #adventureawaits #engagementphotographer #adventurousweddingphotographer #authenticlovemag #adventuroussouls #adventurouslovestories #staywild #wanderingweddings #photobugcommunity #destinationweddingphotographer #elopementlove #francewedding #montsaintmichel #elopementphotographer
Been busy away in my edit cave the past couple of days, off of Instagram and completely immersed in my work, and tbh it’s exactly what I needed. Now, I get to deliver this beautiful gallery today, and I sincerely loved reliving every moment of it when I was putting it together. From the moment we arrived, this day was special. Indy and Chad had waited YEARS for this day, and it was honestly nothing short of magical. ✨ Check more on my blog to see more of what I’m talking about (link in story!!!)! They had an incredible and emotional day! I promise - this isn’t one you’re gonna want to miss! 😉🙌🏻 ________________________ #danipuringtonphotography #clairepettibone #weddinginspo #weddingdress #engagementphotographer #adventurousengagement #adventurousweddingphotographer #authenticlovemag #adventuroussouls #adventurouslovestories #dirtybootsandmessyhair #LOVEANDWILDHEARTS #belovedstories #delightfulstories #truelovestory #staywild #wanderingweddings #photobugcommunity #californiaweddingphotographer #californiaelopementphotographer #destinationweddingphotographer #elopementlove #oregonelopementphotographer #washingtonelopementphotographer #redwoodwedding #redwoodselopement #nestledownwedding #losgatosweddingphotographer #elopementinspiration #elopementphotography
