About 365 days of marriage

I started this blog in April of 2011. At the time, Bret and I were wedding photographers and it was a way to share how marriage is more about the day to day and so much more than the wedding day itself. For about 5 years, I blogged about the joys and sorrows of the Christian walk, marriage, work, family and friends. I’ve blogged every day since a few weeks after I started. In May of 2015, we photographed our last wedding. Now, I have become passionate about simplicity, particularly in marriage, Christianity, business, travel and life. For a number of reasons, we have become minimalists. I’ve found that having simplicity makes life so much deeper, refreshing and joyful. I hope that this blog will help others see the benefits of living simply.

Day 2148 – Schaffer Behind The Scenes

The first thing I want to say about this behind the scenes is how awesome the staff at Gramercy Mansion is! At the last minute, since the rain had stopped, they set up the outdoor ceremony site! What a great way to show the bride and groom that it truly IS their day!

Here’s a look at how things go behind the scenes at a wedding….

We try to block out your kids in photographs…
