Romance over reels. Sunsets over stories. Adventures over the algorithm. Crafts over captions. Dogs over doom scrolling!
Iโve fallen out of love with social media, hence not posting much lately. Itโs exhausting isnโt it? Not just as a small business owner but as a human being with family and friends and things to do in the real world! ๐
Somethingโs changed since losing Cooper last year and moving in with Chris recently. Iโve really been assessing whatโs important and where I want to put my time and energy, and IG isnโt it! Yes, I know I need to get my work out there to book more amazing couples but honestly, I get most of my bookings from Google and more importantly, word of mouth so whatโs the point in me spending hours on posts to please the algorithm?!
Iโd much rather spend my time with the people I love, travelling, walking on the beach with Chris, looking after friendsโ dogs, playing footie with the kids, doing crafty workshops, listening to the birds, tending to the garden, even decorating! ๐
So, whatโs this got to do with weddings? Iโm not sure really! I want to be more present in my personal life and I suppose that goes for weddings too. I donโt do a lot of content creation / behind the scenes stuff at weddings (I certainly wonโt be using those awful Meta glasses ๐คฎ)
I rarely even remember to get my phone out to take a photo, let alone make reels! No shade to the photographers who do that, loads of people do it really well, the whole thing just gives me the ick!
Iโd rather spend any spare time I get at weddings chatting to people, my couples, their guests, other suppliers and venue staff. This has served me well all these years, building real connections with real people! ๐
Anyway, Iโm still here and I will be posting but Iโm no longer stressing over views and likes. Lifeโs too short! Enjoy the sunshine folks! ๐
