— officially wedding week and it all still feels as surreal as it did six months ago when Rich asked me to be his forever. I am so giddy to do life with my best friend☺️ Dress has been picked up, beach houses stocked with food, and now we just wait for our friends to arrive!!! AHHH I CANT WAIT :-))))

six days until forever 😍

— from second-shooting with @emily.magers a few weeks back
💫
Things have been slow in the photo end of things these days. Some days I allow comparison to take over, though, on most, I continue to learn that this slow season is a blessing in disguise, a time to rest, to pour into relationships, my future marriage.
💫
Though my clients have been few, they have been the most thoughtful and sweet of them. I am learning to practice the spirit of gratitude while defeating the spirit of comparison. That’s all.

— I’ve fallen in love with reading. Maybe it was my tube commute into work that forced me into it, or having a park to go lay and read, or simply a thirst for knowledge. I love highlighting and writing on the margins, going back and re-reading things that stood out to me.
💫
Meaning of Marriage by Tim Keller is one of those books I couldn’t put down. I opened it a few days ago as I started to think about my vows and I was hit with the power of words.
💫
Marriage is a reflection of the gospel. It’s a covenant, a commitment, a promise of future love. To be known and fully loved is a lot like being loved by God. Send help because I have no idea how I’m gonna get thru my vows :’)

— SEPTEMBER. I turn 24 tomorrow. For some reason that age sounds so cool, like I’m officially in my ‘twenty’s’. Honestly I feel like I’m still 12 sometimes with my stubborn moments, but also feel 57 when I realize my idea of fun is reading a book and cuddling @richturnbul 🤷🏽‍♀️ anyways; this month is about to bring some fun stuff. Other than being birthday month, it’s also WEDDING MONTH. wow. ok. now im stressed. g2g plan a party.

— ok last one. I couldn’t bring myself to keep this picture all to myself... :-)

— once upon a time a young lad took wee 18yr old Alba on a date at this very spot. though the relationship was short lived, I’d still call it a win since I got finding this place out of it 💫

— last night’s session’s got me all sorts of 🤤 also, props to @princesafleming for bouldering in heeled sliders ;)

— from our trip to the Cotswolds in May 💫 check out the full post on the journal.

— currently putting together a timeline of mine and Rich’s relationship for my visa app... it’s kinda fun going back to every picture, text, and feeling from the last year and a half. Pretty nostalgic tbh!! Anyways, catch me making cheesy photo collages on google docs!

the girliest of weekends spent with my favorite people all in one place! Crazy thankful for these girls that make me feel so incredibly known. I couldn’t imagine this season without you all by my side! 40 days until wedding day🎉🤪💛

— after a few months of polishing and updating my site, IT IS BACK ON LIVE!!!🎉🎉 I am so thrilled to be sharing new work on it and making it easier for my future clients to see my heart behind each image. 💫
ALSO- i am thrilled to announce a new feature... CITY GUIDES. The people have spoken and there’s currently three cities on the site: London, Salzburg, and Barcelona. I am thrilled to be adding some more in the coming weeks.
💫
Thanks for following along on this fun journey and for allowing me share this tiny corner of the internet i get to have. Pumped for exciting things coming ahead! Xx, Albs.
