Getting lost in an ocean of white 💭
ATV wine tasting at @hahnwines, feeling like a kid at @montereybayaquarium, and endless photo opps on Highway 1 — uncovering @seemonterey on my blog today! Follow link in profile. #seemonterey
California sunsets set the bar for all other sunsets 🌅 Missing #sonykandotrip! Thanks for capturing me in my element, @kathryn_dyer ✨ #sonyalpha #alphacollective
Spent a lovely, memorable weekend in Austin with my soulful friend @rachel__moye. No plans, no agenda — just enjoying one another’s company (oh, and ordering donuts from Ubereats at 2 AM). So blessed to know your beautiful heart Rach, and endlessly inspired by you ✨
Ummm... did I really just do that?! Spontaneously went skydiving yesterday for the first time — watch my Story to see how it all turned out! I was SO nervous but @skydivetruckeetahoe made the process so amazing and FUN! This is not a sponsored post — genuinely love supporting local small business 🤘🏼 Everyone should try skydiving! I want to go again!!!
I could sit and watch the Nemos at @montereybayaquarium all day long! What’s your favorite sea creature? 🐠🐋🦑 @seemonterey #seemonterey
@alanaciera — it was a little over a year ago that your now-husband (!) asked me to hide in a shed and photograph his proposal to you. You were genuinely surprised — you kept repeating over and over that it was the happiest day of your life. Now, fast forward a year later, and you’re @jmcelroy23’s wife! 👰🏽 It was an honor to stand by your side yesterday as your Matron of Honor (and hold your heavy-ass/gorgeous bouquet) and celebrate your union before God. I am praying for you both as you transition into this exciting new season. You guys are the best, Mr. & Mrs. McElroy! I love you both! Have an amazing time in Cabo! ☀️🥂 #ohlordyalanaandjordy
@meganmhines and I recently paddled, hiked, cheersed, and belly-laughed our way through gorgeous @seesiskiyou. Recap of our adventures now up on the blog (link in profile)! 🚣🏼‍♀️ #DiscoverSiskiyou #SeeSiskiyou #SiskiyouPartner
Not a bad way to spend Memorial Day weekend! 🇺🇸✨ #AlanasGettingHitched
Our big travel plans this summer? Get outside, explore our backyard, and sleep under the stars as often as possible. Where’s your favorite place to camp? 🏕 #drinkcoffeedostuff
I shot this photo from my kayak a few weeks ago, while paddling around a little lake near Mount Shasta. @meganmhines and I had just lugged our ‘yaks five hours — determinedly learning (and relearning) how to tie down both of them on her Subaru in the process — and this was the precise moment I began to settle in and relax. Insert self-care monologue here. Lately, anxiety and depression have been creeping in more often than not, and it’s been these sorts of peaceful moments with dear friends that have made everything a little more beautiful.

Five years ago today... . It was a Thursday. The day started out sunny, then turned to typical Pacific Northwest wet. We had decided to exchange our vows on our favorite hiking trail in the mountains outside our home in Seattle — just the two of us. As we approached the top of the mountain that day, the impending clouds gave way to a voracious thunderstorm — and we were alone. Adam and Eve, in our own Eden. Unbeknownst to us, the photos and video from this day would go on to spark an entirely new trend in the wedding industry... the adventure elopement. . This is not something I’ve ever talked about publicly before. Our day has always been incredibly intimate to me: a symbol of the highs and lows of our union, a day between us and God. While the internet thought they knew our marriage, we’ve battled and fought for one another. It has not been as easy as Pinterest has made it look. We’ve since changed careers. We’ve since lived in two other states, and bought and sold houses. We’ve since traveled the globe. We’ve since started two businesses, and learned about financial success just as much as financial hardship. . Throughout it all, I will always choose you, Nick. Every single year, every single month, every single day. Happy Anniversary my love 🌿 . 📷: @benjhaisch
Already can’t wait to go back! Had a blast working with @seemonterey / @travelmindset this past weekend 🌾 Have you driven the gorgeous Pebble Beach coast? #seemonterey
I grew up visiting @seemonterey. The @montereybayaquarium was a favorite first date spot, and my love affair with salt water taffy began here — more importantly, my love affair with California’s coastline began here. There aren’t very many places as special as this one. When was the last time you visited #seemonterey? 🌊🐠
