” Never give up. Today is hard, tomorrow will be worse, but the day after tomorrow will be sunshine.”

~ Jack Ma ~

Amen to all of that! One sentence, all the meanings for many different aspects of life. Sometimes we find ourselves in places and think ” self, how in the hell did I get here? ” We constantly pile on emotion, responsibility and business and often times lose sight of the path we busted our asses on to be where we are in our journey. It’s in these moments we have to remind ourselves that whatever lies ahead is going to be better than what was previously lived. We do what we do because we have to, but always remember we also do what we WANT because we need to. We WANT a better life, happy little kids running around, our dues paid and at the end of the trail someone to share it with over coffee and Skittles. The dynamic of family is incredibly beautiful and to be able to combine those is a gift like no other. Jesi and Isaac’s OLLIS RANCH REDLANDS WEDDING had every aspect of awesome and was an amazing wedding with that incredible family dynamic.

When Jesi first contacted me about their OLLIS RANCH REDLANDS WEDDING she was stationed in Germany planning the wedding! I can only imagine the amount of stress it is to do this while overseas being deployed, if I had a dollar for every gray hair I had pop up while planning my own I’d have…I don’t know like $200 bucks haha BUT THAT’S A LOT!

I actually wasn’t available to shoot Jesi and Isaac’s OLLIS RANCH WEDDING. So I let her know about my associate program and how they could still rock it with her. AND DAMN DID THEY ROCK IT! The way this works is my associates show up ready to rock-n-roll, kick butt and have a great time with you getting amazing images. I take care of everything else from communication and contracts to edits and delivery. It’s a nice seamless process for when I’m booked already. Oh and did I mention it starts at $1999? Just check out Jesi’s awesome review ~

When I read that…my eyes swelled. Seriously you two.

Someone asked me not too long ago why I write the way I do. It took me a while to really pin down a decent answer but I’m pretty sure I have it now. You see, everyone has a story ( ohhh so deep and cliche haha ). You, me, that person over there, everyone. It’s so easy to go through life not understanding this and believe me when I say I spent many years not able to care less. When I realized this though so many new things started to occur to me.  It wasn’t about growing up it was more about being in tune with what we all have to endure to reach our goals, the struggles we all have getting there and the empathy needed to fully embrace it. A part of what helped me find this peace was being in customer service for 15yrs. I met so many people with 1000 stories to tell, each one with different outcomes. The reason I write the way I do is because this is how I talk. I don’t like to pump the bullshit or lies or say how light and airy life is. I get my fulfillment from meeting super rad people, documenting their incredible weddings and then writing about how kick ass they were. I care more about the moments of human interaction then the tiny details that will eventually die away, not the other way around.

Damn. Ok so I got a little off topic there, let’s get back to Jesi and Isaac’s OLLIS RANCH REDLANDS WEDDING! The ranch is AWESOME! Unfortunately they have no website or really any info at all about the venue BUT let me tell you, if you are thinking of booking here go ahead and do it. There are so many wonderful areas throughout OLLIS RANCH REDLANDS. Ceremony is by the lake, they have a dope rustic bar area and the reception is held under the many strands of twinkly lights. It’s super nice.

I wish I could have been here to see how the story played out, but my associates did such a great job that going through all of the images I get to feel like I was there partying with them!
