Halfway through 2021 and I’ve had the humbling honor of photographing 55 couples… What the heck. I’m floored and stoked that I’ve been able to share a wee bit of their life with them. Counting the days until instagram lets me post 55 photos in a post instead of just 10. #hellobrandonscott #wanderlust #forest #bigsurwedding #palmspringswedding #junebugweddings #windandsea #bigsurelopementphotographer #heyheyhellomay

FTW // Flew to Kauai this week to photograph an amazzzze wedding and took Megan and Madison along for the ride. It was Madison’s longest flight to date, and gotta say, all things considered, she did amazing. She’s currently teething. She swam in the ocean for the first time. Her favorite thing right now is ripping sunglasses off my face like a thug. It was the week somewhere else that we needed. We’ve been traveling a lot lately, but going somewhere that could so easily just be another country felt like we were *really* traveling. Wanderlust quenched for a bit. #hellobrandonscott #hellobrandonscottftw

Back in the CPA days, I savored the 14 days gifted

Back in the CPA days, I savored the 14 days gifted to me by the firm to do with what I pleased. The sacred vacation time. I always used that bit of time to travel, with the fourth and final trip being a trip to Iceland. It was there I realized this lifestyle wasn’t for me. I didn’t want to remain beholden to billable hours; I didn’t want to work 8-5, my best work happens before and after those hours anyway; I couldn’t sit with the idea of only receiving a few weeks each year to explore our infinitely outstretched world. My first year at the firm, I ran into dozens of co-workers, most much older than I, who accrued hundreds of vacation days (they’d often brag about this) and it just blew my mind that they never used them. After a few years in that world, I understood why. It’s a very high-output, highly-competitive industry, as most are, and if someone doesn’t meet expectations, someone else will. It made using those golden PTO hours and leaving for a couple weeks impossible, culturally. On that last trip to Iceland, my mind was basically turned into mush by the sheer scale of this other-worldly country. I just had a moment there, on the shores of a black sand beach, watching icebergs cleave off a glacier and plunge into the sea, where I knew I was done. All the schooling, the boatloads of stress that went into each and every licensing exam, the depression of failure, the elation of success - it wasn’t worth spending my life that way. I came back on a Friday and gave my two-weeks the next Monday. I had been shooting weddings on the weekends for two years by that point, and thankfully had enough bookings on the calendar to make quitting a possibility. That was eight years ago. For a decade, you, couples, have gifted me one of the most amazing gifts I’ll ever receive - freedom to work in a way that lets me be my best self. To live my best life. That’s defined so differently by everyone, and even changes throughout our lives, but for me, this is that life, and I’m so thankful for every single wedding, engagement, family, proposal, portrait sesh I’ve ever photographed. Every single one. #hellobrandonscott #wanderlust #hawaiielopement #junebugweddings

FTW // A day or so late for this batch of photos from last week, but here they are at last. I’ve been traveling a ton for shoots and weddings these last few weeks and I’m SO thankful Megan and bebe Madison have been able to join along for all the fun. Last week we sweat it out in Palm Springs for a few days - 115 degrees - and loved every minute of it. We got a real summer fix staying at the Ace while we were there. Pina Colada’s are my summer drink fav and they happened to have plenty of them. Definitely felt strange living in swimwear for a few days, since we live in a place that usually requires layers and jackets year round. Didn’t hate it. At all. We wrapped up the week back at home by taking Madison to the aquarium that finally reopened. Pretty cute watching her observe these sea creatures she knows nothing about yet. #hellobrandonscott #hellobrandonscottftw
