Hey — I’m Mal! I’m so happy that you’re here.

I've always loved taking photos. My favorite thing about them is how they can quietly capture times that you didn’t know would be THE moments. The core memories. The times that you didn’t know were important until the seasons change and life goes on.

A photographer that I look up to recently wrote:

“Nostalgia is what I’m always after. I’m not trying to do anything but really give something to people to remember this time in their life. What I have found talking with past clients: They don’t ever remember what they were actually stressed about, but they do remember how it felt.

I’m always advocating just to let go.

We’ve had our own wedding too. Many who have had weddings can attest. That little hiccup, it wont even be a blip when you celebrate your tenth anniversary or when your child is born, or when you do that first Christmas as a married couple with your family. The future is letting go. So let the present you do the same. Because it will become the past you, and that memory is all you have.

Remember nostalgia is always the warm feelings. Not the worried ones. So think of how you will want to remember this. It might not be perfect. But it’s always from the heart.”

When you think back on THE memories, I hope that you can find some photos that look as warm as the moment felt.
