Love a classic portrait! So will your moms, grandparents, and that Christmas card!

Also peep our planner turned bride.. πŸ€πŸ‘°πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ

The classic, timeless portrait.
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
You know I love to capture those in-between candid moments that showcase the love and emotions of your special day. However, I also believe that classic and timeless portraits are equally as important.
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
These portraits will be cherished for generations to come, and they serve as a beautiful reminder of the love you shared on your wedding day. They capture the beauty, elegance, and glamour of your wedding, and they are a timeless addition to your photo album.
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
By mixing in both candid moments and classic portraits, we can create a beautiful and comprehensive story of your wedding day.
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
PSA time, don't forget to have your wedding planner build in plenty of time to pose for those classic portraits, because trust me, you'll be glad you did!

If Monday was a quote this would be it. We either do it or we don't, we push forward through the week or we dwell on the fact that the weekend is over. Let's all push through today together because tomorrow is February! We've made it through 1/12 of the year! Keep on moving forward because there are great things ahead this year.

Personally I think B&W photos are crisp and tend to be some of my favorites. When you are booking your vendors and more specifically your photographer make sure you look through their portfolio to ensure that their style matches your style. Light and airy, dark and moody, candid or posed, make sure that what you are looking for and like is what you are going to get!β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €

Hey there! My name is Kayla Bruns, the gal behind Dot the i and soon to be bride myself. My fiancΓ© and I get married THIS YEAR and I cannot wait to finally marry my best friend. β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
We got engaged in June of 2020 after being together for eleven years. We tie the knot in October this year, 2022. Everyone's stories are different and all are equally important. Our story is one of my favorites because it is ours and you should love yours as well. β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
I'd love to hear your stories! How long were you with your partner before getting engaged? How did you and your partner meet? Did you get married right away or take some time to plan? β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €

01/06/2022

There is a statist that states only 75% of people that set resolutions are still keeping up with them by the end of the first week. The percentage continues to drop as the weeks go along and by the end of the year less than 10% of people have kept up with these said resolutions. β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
All this to say that if you fall in the 90% that don't stick to their resolutions know that you are in good company. Also, don't worry because if you fail you can try again. Each new day is a fresh start and you don't need to wait for a Monday, a new month, or new year to set those goals! Together let's motivate one another this year and help each other achieve those goals!
