FTW // The theme of this week is thankful exhaustion; evidenced, in part, by how late I managed to get this post out tonight. Megan started the week by getting her first Covid vaccine. We’ve heard the second one knocks people down, thankfully this first one just caused a bit of soreness in her arm for a few days. Madison is super close to crawling. She’s a happy baby on her tummy and kicks kicks kicks her way across the play mat. It’s adorable. And terrifying, ha. The time to baby-proof the house might come sooner than we thought. Visits to INO might be less frequent now that a CHICKFILAAAAAA just opened 20 minutes away. The closest one before was about 1.5 hours from us. An oasis in the desert this is. I had two afternoons free between weddings to work on the construction house. Made the most of it and managed to build one of the bathroom walls. We’re counting the days until we get to move in. Fingers still crossed for December this year. I got to photograph six couples this week, and tried our hardest to squeeze in beers with friends, chores around the house, and beach runs with Rover. So thankful to be busy. Feels good to be exhausted on a Sunday. Bed time can’t come soon enough. #hellobrandonscott #leica

Favorite bit of direction I’ll sometimes give couples: give each other the best hug ever. Cutest damn photo every time. #hellobrandonscott #wanderlust #adventurewedding #elopementphotographer #anotherwildstory #wildhairandhappyhearts #radlovestories #crazyloveandwildkisses #adventurouscouples #carefreecouples #loveandwildhearts #wildloveadventures #adventurouslovestories #loversgettinglost #belovedweddingstories #bhldnbride #lookslikefilmweddings #dirtybootsandmessyhair #bigsurweddingphotographer #bigsur #bigsurelopementphotographer #bigsurelopement

Currently editing the very last wedding shot with my Canon gear, which means retiring my old go-to presets and starting fresh, rebuilding them from the ground up. To those who aren’t photographers, this might mean nothing, but my fellow comrades know that this basically means reaching the highest highs of thinking everything looks incredible, to the lowest lows thinking everything everyone else makes looks so much better. Up and down, up and down, until you land on something that works. A creative identity crisis, so to speak. Can’t wait to take you all on that journey with me 🙃 #hellobrandonscott #wanderlust #adventurewedding #radlovestories #adventurouscouples #wildloveadventures #adventurouslovestories #belovedweddingstories #bhldnbride #lookslikefilmweddings #dirtybootsandmessyhair #santacruzphotographer #aptos #redwoodwedding

FTW // Not gonna lie, I was worried that there wouldn’t even be 10 photos to choose from this week. Working on the house (trying to get it move-in-able by December), a bunch of weddings and elopements scattered throughout the week, kept me away from the fam more than I’ve been accustomed to. The winter lulled me into a rhythm that’s wrapping up soon. This little creative push has made me realize just how quickly weeks fly by. Before I know it, Sunday’s here again. Madison’s a week older. We’re a week closer to that aforementioned December deadline. I’m a week farther behind on my todo list.
 I put a lot of pressure on myself to be a high-production human. Certainly a fault sometimes. Similar personalities are known as workaholics. It sometimes leads to burnout. Sometimes creates a life imbalance that’s hard to recover from. Definitely causes loads of stress. I know there are many us out there. I’ve heard from some of you over the last few weeks about how this FTW idea has caused you to pause and pick up a camera again, or perhaps take the camera you always have pointed at couples and turn it every once in awhile on the people who share life with you. I’m super thankful for that. And need to remember to keep up with that myself when this FTW *idea* becomes an FTW *challenge* as the months get busier. Madison went to bed early once this week. We caught up on a few episodes of New Girl as a result, just the two of us, like the before times. We got a heat wave for a couple days and made the most of our tiny front lawn. Megan cut my hair for probably the 20th time since quarantine began. I doubt I’ll ever go to a barber shop again. And Rover’s ever-present need to run forced us to the beach this morning for some zoomies. Here’s to remembering to make the most out of this week. 🍻 #hellobrandonscott

A year ago - Robert and Megan’s wedding fell on

A year ago - Robert and Megan’s wedding fell on one of the first days of Covid shutdowns. It was sort of the season where I didn’t know what to do as a photographer… like… do I go? How serious is this? Some couples are cancelling, others are pressing on. Am I an asshole if I say we have to postpone? It was the eeriest drive down to Big Sur. The beach that’s normally swamped was deserted, save for one errant dog-walker and lone surfer. What an apocalyptic time that was. I’ll never forget it. It’s remarkable what a photo can do though to shape one’s memory. You’d never guess the true state of the world from this one picture. I think about this a lot as a photographer. In a way, whatever I choose to take a photo of, with the passing of enough time, is the bulk of what people remember from their wedding day. To fellow photographers, remember that responsibility and don’t take it lightly. Talking to myself here too. The epic mountaintop photos matter, but even more importantly, all the little in-betweens that are the quickest to forget, or heck, even go unnoticed altogether. Jeez, OK, Brandon’s stream-of-thought post is now complete. Going back to enjoying an evening whiskey. 🥃 #magnoliarouge #wedphotoinspiration #heyheyhellomay #risingtidesociety #greenweddingshoes #theknot #smpweddings #stylemepretty #junebugweddings #rusticwedding #realwedding #indiewedding #weddingdress #bigsurwedding #montereywedding #californiawedding #bigsurweddingphotographer #carmelweddingphotographer #carmelwedding #pnwwedding #pnwweddingphotographer

FTW // This was the last week before the calendar

FTW // This was the last week before the calendar gets crazy with weddings and shoots, so we started it off by heading north to my parents’ for a long overdue visit. It was both my Mom and my birthdays (she’s on the 23rd, me on the 24th). That pairing has always been something special. One afternoon up there, the wind was really making the prospect of going outdoors pretty unappealing. Rover’s apparent sadness got us motivated to take him to the park down the street. Same park I used to play soccer games at as a kid. Played Rover’s favorite game. Fetch. We got back home and spent most of this weekend doing chores. Also the ritualistic beer with friends. The brewery down the street from our house is getting more and more lively with each passing Covid tier. Madison is starting to sort out the dynamics of crawling. #hellobrandonscott #fromthisweek
