I’m BACK from my week long beach trip! Although, I’m not quite mentally back in my office today as I realized that I could not budge myself to get out of bed at 7 a.m. like I anticipated. A little readjusting to do this week for sure! Let me just tell you that this beach […]

Lol! I wanted to write a “no blog post” today because I’m finishing up my final day at the beach before heading home for tomorrow’s wedding day … but I cannot write “no blog post” because technically there is a blog post if I’m writing this at this moment! I guess it’s just an excuse […]

Ian and Jessi met with me a month prior to their wedding to discuss their final details so I know exactly what to expect for their wedding day. One thing they mentioned to me that caught my attention off the batt was the “salt ceremony”. I’ve never heard of this before so it sparked my […]

This starts a very exciting new tradition for Stephanie Messick Photography! It was only just 2 years ago I took on my first ever mud run. Now, let me be straight forward … I am NOT a runner. I do it to work out. But of course, a piece of me needs adventure in my […]

Dustin, Brooke and Brookes mom first met me in my office space months ago and I immediately fell in love with this bunch! Maybe it was the fact that they were excited to see Pixie? 😉 I could chat with them for hours and lose track of time easily! Dustin and Brooke have such a sweet […]

I hope everyone had a fabulous weekend! 🙂 This weekend was my first weekend “off” from weddings since March I believe? So instead of a wedding, I hosted a 5K Foam Run with my brides on Saturday!!! I cannot begin to tell you how much fun it is to hang out with them and go […]

All photos are edited, packaged, backed up and shipped out of my office! I made it a goal of mine to have everything completely done before taking off for the beach tomorrow and it looks like I’m just about there minus a few other tasks. But I’ll be honest … I am SO ready for the […]

Marc, Caity and I go back to the high school years … which honestly feels like FOREVER AGO. One thing I love about my “job” is that I get the chance to reconnect to those I knew from my past and catch up! Obviously, they are always doing great because … they found love! 🙂 I […]

It was finally the moment that they both have been waiting for … Josh was waiting around the corner waiting for the tap on his shoulder. He turned around and immediately grasped her into his arms tightly. Immediately, my eyes filled up with tears. To witness such a powerful and intimate moment like theirs was a treasure! […]
