Weekend Recap | Four Year Anniversary

Business Anniversary + Birthday Celebration!

What a weekend! It seems like this weekend was a popular one for most people, between summer vacations and weddings. The weather could have been more ideal as I was hoping to spend yesterday at the beach. 😉 That didn’t happen but my day off was wonderful! There is so much to celebrate this past week/weekend!

First of all, CONGRATS Brandon and Summer!!! Their Lexington wedding Saturday was seriously stunnnnnnning and we are beyond thankful the weather held up! Thank the LORD! Cannot wait to share more soon!

Secondly, Stephanie Messick Photography celebrated FOUR YEARS on Wednesday!!!! Wohoo!!! It has been an incredible four years and I truly believe this year is going to be the best year yet! So many sweet, genuine couples I have the privilege of documenting/get to know throughout our time together.

Happy Birthday!

Lastly, I celebrated my 28th Birthday yesterday!! 🙂 It was bittersweet… I have been dreading turning another year. Ever since I turned 20, I have been counting down the years to 30. Seriously, it has been a big joke in my family! Now that I’m only TWO YEARS away, I started freaking out a little bit until I watched “The Age of Adaline”. I could not have watched it at a more appropriate time of my life! I truly believe this year is going to be the best year yet! Everyone told me 27 was going to be the best year and it ended up being a roller coaster of emotions, but I really have confidence this year will be the best and life altering year. Why? My overall goal between personal and business is to grow my faith further than I have ever imagined. I am longing to serve, to love, to praise and honor God every day. Whether that is through serving my church or my couples, I want to glorify Him! This is going to be a great year. <3

Thank you for your endless love, support and encouragement! Love you all and excited to open this new chapter of my life!
