Got to celebrate beautiful Natalia & Andrew last weekend! What a joy it was❤️🥹

I’m usually behind the camera at weddings and I genuinely can’t remember the last time I got to just be a guest. I really missed putting on a pretty dress, crying at the ceremony, eating, drinking and dancing with absolutely zero responsibilities:)

If you’re getting married anytime soon… invite me. I’ll bring a gift and the best vibes haha🥂

P.S. So much love to the newlyweds🤍 I can’t stop thinking how perfect you are for each other!!! by @mrs.gilman

1000/10 sunset spot🏜️

happened to come here all alone and honestly it was pure joy, peace and presence. I just sat there until it got dark, nibbling on my Reese’s and quietly repeating words of gratitude. With dozens of people around, somehow it still felt like this view was just for me. Front row seat to one of nature’s best creations. taken in Horseshoe Bend by @mrs.gilman

they say it got its name because “only an angel could land there” still can’t believe I did too🪽🥹

got into the lucky 20% and won the permit the night before hike

scout’s lookout 💚

point where the chain section becomes no joke and you either clock in or end up on the news

when I made it to the top I couldn’t believe it😭 honestly I sabotaged myself so much before going, the fear I have built up in my head was so much bigger than reality. I almost turned back a few times

unreal

me and 2 Ukrainian guys I met on the top:)

strangers took the best pics of me haha. honestly love hikers, always helping each other, offering help, water, snacks, pics🥹

so he planned to do Angel’s Landing in this outfit🙈 I left him at scouts and went by myself, was sending messengers who were going down to let him know I am alive:)

I made it to that top!!!!

other 2 Ukrainian guys who I met 2 days in a row!!! I met so many Ukrainians during my trip🫶🏻 taken in Angels Landing by @mrs.gilman

30, flirty & thriving 🦋✨💖

I always dreamed of having a backyard of my own and throwing a party like the ones in 2000s movies. But I guess what I was really hoping for was having my people here in the US. People I can dance with, laugh with and be completely myself around 🥹

For my next decade I don’t wish for much - just to keep the ones I love close, make new friendships along the way, and finally have my besties and family from Ukraine come visit

Everything else in my life is just a plan. And you know me, I plan a lot😅 So bring it on, 30s. I’m just getting started😌 by @mrs.gilman
