Lightroom is the easiest and most efficient way to edit your images. 

We're talking ultra-fast. You can edit one image and then paste those settings to the other images that were taken in the same setting!

I walked through the ballroom and upstairs, chatting away with Madi. I think I hugged Madi and Amy a good 3-5 times before I let them get back to work! I had never met them before, but we already felt like good friends. That's what Instagram is for, right? Riiiight?

I unpacked all of my styling boards, ring boxes - just all of the styling essentials, really - and flipped through the paper suite from Megan. Two words: envelope...

I use this every time I open Lightroom. While you’re editing, keep it open next to Lightroom and get consistent edits every single time.

Which film type are you? Are you more of a vibrant Portra shooter or a cool-and-neutral Fuji shooter?

First things first: you get to decide! There are no wrong answers here. The only thing I want you to do is get rid of every image you have in your head right now.

Ruthie sat on the cozy couch in her Aunt's bedroom, pen and paper in hand. The whole house felt like Christmas morning... excitement, anticipation, and the kind of peace you dream about. She scribbled a few more words in the letter and carefully folded it up.

In reality, there were hundreds of people celebrating Johnna & Joe. They create an intimate atmosphere around them because you're drawn in and feel like family before you even get to the second hug.

They laughed, kissed, and held

Because there's a peace when they are holding each other. Because there's a stillness when they are together. Because there's a joy that they have when it's just the two of them and the rest of the world fades away...

From the window I could see the changing leaves falling to the ground. There was one tree, just outside the house, with vibrant red and orange leaves that seemed to frame the farmhouse on the hill. I could hear her bridesmaids in the other room laughing with Elizabeth, who could not have...

Confession: I love getting emails about the Light & Airy preset because you all love it just as much as I do. I really needed to keep our editing consistent and also be able to hand my presets over to our team editor and get the same results. I created a whole suite and then I started wondering. What if I shared this preset, which is changing my whole business, with the whole world? 

I knew this preset would change businesses, but I had no idea how far it would...
