Reel Special

We don’t rest very well. Between Willow, work, and weddings, life has been moving at a million miles a minute so we decided to slow it to a crawl and just. Breathe. • We boarded a plane on New Years Day and headed to Mexico. Cell service has been spotty and Wi-Fi has only worked in certain spots in our room, so being present has been our priority and it has been SO refreshing. And so needed. • We are going to soak up a few more days of sunshine. Until then, the inquiries and consultations and editing and bills and taxes and all the other things will have to wait. Hope that’s okay. (at Seadust Cancun Family Resort) https://www.instagram.com/p/BsQdH4Eh-tG/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=m8qbb3zdh5d0

Stephen posted a video to Instagram: Joshua Tree. What better way to prepare for the long drive home to Ohio for Christmas than to imagine being back in this moment. The sun beating down. The windows cracked open. The dry, desert air. It was magical. 🚙: @ryanworthen 🎥: @GoPro http://bit.ly/2SXrCpe

Is it just us or was autumn here and gone in a hot flash? Thankfully, as the trees were turning our cameras were rolling (and the drone was flying) to capture JP + Beckett’s gorgeous wedding and reception. 🎥 Footage from this incredible wedding will be debuting this week! 🙌🏼 (at Idle Hour Country Club) https://www.instagram.com/p/BrMCEcbhX8Q/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1a9vc4ujcdb14
