How travel changed my life…⠀ ⠀ ⠀ In 2017,

How travel changed my life…⠀
⠀
⠀
In 2017, I let go of society’s timeline of what “life should look like” & started designing the life I dreamed of. I began taking solo trips around the globe and through that process discovered the REAL me.⠀
 It was during one of these trips that I met the man of my dreams, Carl. He came into my life when I least expected it & it has turned into the greatest blessing I could have ever asked for.⠀
⠀
From road trips to global explorations, travel is what brought us together and has continued to play a vital role in our relationship and journey together.⠀
⠀
We met in the place that captured both of our hearts 🏔 and It has been such a joy to reflect back on how our journey together has come full circle—from meeting in Denver in 2017 to getting engaged in Rocky Mountain National Park in 2019 and FINALLY celebrating our special day with those we love at the beautiful @sprucemountainranch in the mountains of Colorado this year.⠀
⠀
Natalie Cole said it best in her song “This Will Be”: ⠀
 “Loving you is some kind of wonderful⠀
Because you showed me just how much you care⠀
…⠀
You brought a lot of a sunshine in to my life⠀
You filled me with happiness I never knew⠀
You gave me more joy then I ever dreamed of⠀
And no one, no one can take the place of you⠀
….⠀
This will be an everlasting love”⠀
⠀
HUGE shoutout to Sarah of Golden Moments Co. for capturing our day perfectly and celebrating our love story. Sarah is a dream to work with, she loves to have fun and is an expert when it comes to capturing joy and connection. Working with her was such a joy & I cannot recommend her enough 🙌🏼⠀
⠀
Now sit back & enjoy the magic that Sarah created ✨💗⠀
⠀
Thank you to the rest of our amazing vendors for helping us create the most perfect day!⠀

“Our deepest fear is...⠀ ⠀ not that we are i

“Our deepest fear is...⠀
⠀
not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. You playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightening about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just some of us, it’s in EVERYONE. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to the same . As we are liberated from our own fear our presence automatically liberates others.” #MarianneWilliamson⠀
⠀
The first time I read this quote my jaw dropped. I had to re-read it several times to let the words truly sink in.⠀
⠀
What intrigued me most about this quote is how Marianne discusses this topic from the opposite perspective from what we are use to hearing. She touches on the imposter syndrome we all have, but states that that isn’t our true fear. Instead, it’s our own light! She delves into how we are meant to share the gifts we were born with. In doing this, it disables your fear & in turn also encourages others to do the same. How cool is that? ⠀
⠀
Have you ever truly thought about that concept? In being authentically you & sharing your talents with others you are creating magic—you are helping others learn to let go of their own fear & shine through their own gifts. This behavior then creates a waterfall effect & is continually passed down from one person to the next. And that is what I think is super special about this mind shift & the perspective this quote brings to life.⠀
⠀
So here’s my proposal to you—Let’s start to share our gifts & talents with others, let’s encourage & share others’ gifts & talents with the world, let’s promote collaboration & kindness & lend a helping hand to those who need it.⠀
⠀
Tag someone below who encourages or motivates you? Let’s give each other some love & share more about the people who make a difference!

I’ve been as silent as the “g” in lasagna—

Best day ever 🤍

Words cannot even begin to describe the love, happiness and gratitude we have felt over the last week.

It was the absolute perfect day with family and friends and most of all—my husband🤍. It truly was better than we could have ever imagined.

Thank you to all our family and friends who traveled near and far to help us celebrate our love. We wouldn’t be where we are today without you in our lives. And thank you to everyone who reached out to send words of “congratulations” our way 🥰

Thank you to @Sprucemountainranch for giving us a beautiful venue with stunning views to celebrate our special day.

Hiii from Saguaro National Park 🌵⠀
⠀
✨If you are new around here, my name is Caitlin, the founder and voice behind Scenic Days, and I am so happy you are here! I wanted to take a moment to introduce myself 👇🏼⠀
⠀
🗺 I am a small town girl & physical therapist turned travel entrepreneur, photographer & content creator. I am currently living the digital nomad life in an RV with my husband road tripping around the U.S. 🚎⠀
⠀
🌍 In 2017, I broke up with society’s timeline of what “life should look like” and decided to design the life I wanted to live. I hopped on a plane and never looked back. I started doing regular solo-trips, during which I met my husband and we have been traveling around the world together ever since.⠀
⠀
🤓I love traveling, hiking, nature, yoga, aesthetic spaces, intentional living, London Fog tea lattes, dairy free chocolate chip cookies, Downton Abby, history, self growth and encouraging others to follow their dreams.⠀
⠀
📷 I have a travel and adventure blog where I share tips on traveling around the world, exploring the outdoors, photography, taking road trips, and incorporating health & wellness into travel.⠀
⠀
🌿 My mission is to help other sophisticated explorers blend outdoor adventure with inspiring luxury accommodations.⠀
⠀
🤍 I am proud of the community we are creating here and am so happy to have you along for the ride!⠀
⠀

Props are the easiest way to make your photos better. ⠀
⠀
✨At an over photographed travel destination or location—props can help your photos stand out from the rest, make it your own & put a spin on a popular destination.⠀
⠀
✨Feel like your location is boring or lacking intrigue—props bring your attention to the subject drawing the eye away from a “boring” background.⠀
⠀
✨Not sure how to pose—props can help make you feel more comfortable in front of the camera allowing you to fall into more natural poses & body positions.⠀
⠀
✨Not sure what to do with your hands—props keep your hands occupied reducing the chances of awkward hand placement in your photos.⠀
⠀
✨Not loving your outfit—incorporate props into your wardrobe to spice up your look & outfit.⠀
⠀
⠀
Not sure where to start? Here are the best props to use in your next photo shoot:⠀
⠀
💐flowers⠀
🥕food⠀
👒hats⠀
👜bags⠀
🎈balloons⠀
📚books⠀
📷camera⠀
🛁bubbles⠀
🧺picnic basket⠀
🎲board games⠀
🪞mirrors⠀
🎸musical instruments⠀
Or anything laying around the house! Get creative with it. Try something new! You never know what magic you might create by thinking a little outside of the box✨⠀

One month until we say “I do” round 2!⠀ ⠀

One month until we say “I do” round 2!⠀

Can you imagine the reactions I get when I tell people that MY HUSBAND and I are getting married in a month #covidbride 😂⠀
⠀
⠀
Let me explain! For those of you who are new around here, my husband and I had to postpone our wedding on May 1, 2020. We chose to reschedule it for one year later, but we didn’t want to wait to make it official. We decided to legally get married in our own private ceremony in the mountains of Colorado on what would have been our special day in 2020.⠀
⠀
⠀
In one month we get to do it again, but this time with family, friends, dancing, toasts & marshmallow roasts (🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 for the s’mores bar) We cannot wait!⠀
⠀
⠀
I never imagined what it would like to marry the same man twice, but if there’s one thing I know for certain it’s that I’d marry this man over and over and over again—every year for the rest of my life! I am more grateful each day for that weekend trip to Denver 4 years ago when he came into my life and never left. @cemiller13 I can’t wait to marry you again in the place where our journey began🤍 #blessed #pinchme #lovestory⠀
