We love a good ‘before and after’ transformation, an overnight success story. But barely anyone sees what it took to get there, and almost no one is ever really a true overnight success — so this is my attempt at showing you the in-between.

As I write this, I face a huge crossroads. The possibilities are endless. I’m setting out to be a photographer, but who knows where I’ll end up in a year?

The story of our engagement is a simple one — no fanfare, no bells and whistles. Just the two of us. And that’s exactly how I like it.
