What to wear

[AND HOW TO PREPARE]


I WAS RAISED BAREFOOT AND KISSED BY THE SUMMER SUN...

I grew up roaming through the unpaved world outside of city limits and among the wild flowers. My hair was tangled and I was wild.


I've known for my whole life that I belong where the sun hits the horizon and makes everything new again.

If you're a little bit spirited, a little bit free, and a whole lot adventurous, we'll get along just fine.

"You can just edit that out, right?"

"You can just photoshop that later, right?"
"You can fix that in post, right?"
The list goes on and on, but it all means the same thing.

Yes. I can.
I have been working with photoshop for over TWELVE years. I have high school transcripts and the college credits to prove it. HOWEVER, if you are investing in memories... invest in YOU. These moments will last forever and you have the opportunity and time to prepare correctly.

So get those nails redone. Match your earrings correctly. Fix your hair the way you want it to be. If you don't like your roots showing, get them done beforehand. Encourage, your family members to do the same.

This is a day, that you will remember forever, take the opportunity to make it one of joy and bonding. Treat it as a day of togetherness and not one of last minute rushing. That's what you deserve.
