Today’s episode is an exploration of presence, play, and the moments that shape us. I sat down with my dear friend and photographer, Diana, to talk about the art of capturing time—not just through a camera lens, but through memory, through feeling, through being fully in it.

We talk about love notes and inside jokes, about the beauty of documenting the in-between moments, about the unspoken ways we hold each other close. We dive into the emotional landscape of weddings—how joy and grief coexist—and what it means to be truly seen in a photograph.

This conversation is a gentle invitation: to feel, to remember, to collect the moments that make up a life well-lived.

In This Episode, We Explore:

• The magic of unposed, unscripted, deeply real moments

• The ways we try to capture time—through photography, words, and presence

• How weddings (and life) are never just about joy, but about the full spectrum of feeling

• The importance of play and why we need to relearn it as adults

• How photography isn’t just about taking pictures—it’s about seeing

Reflection Questions:

→ How do you capture and treasure important moments in your life, and are there specific practices you follow to preserve these memories?
