Day 1697 – Why Do I Blog Every Day And What’s The Deal With The Day?

Have you been reading my blog for a while but not sure why I note every day? Ever wonder why I blog every day?

I figured now was a great time to give y’all a refresher!

I am a wedding photographer.

I love it. Dearly.

But I believe that the real journey begins after the wedding is over. I want to continue sharing the joys and sorrows of marriage with my clients, friends and family. To that end, I take a picture of my wedding rings or something that captures what that day has meant to my marriage, what I learned, etc.

One of the core beliefs of our wedding photography business is a close relationship with each couple. We strive to be good friends after the wedding and we try to encourage them in their marriage. I had an idea in the spring of 2011, to take a picture with all of our rings, the bride, the groom, Bret and myself. Photographically saying, “we support your marriage.”

We are especially grateful for the clients who refer us to their friends. We had the joy of photographing 3 weddings from a group of friends (the Astaritas, the Fredericks and the Tiltons). The Tiltons were married last and at their wedding, we took a picture of all three couples and us. The Fredericks have a print of this on their wall. It has become one of the most meaningful pictures I have taken.

I hope that my journey through marriage will give you joy. That you’ll have a few laughs. Maybe a few tears. And ultimately, see how much I love my husband. So, come take a journey with me!

About a month ago, I blogged about the new Be More Inspired Wedding Studio. A few days later, I realized I didn’t share any of the pictures I took at the studio! So, here is that post again, but with pictures! Ah! Please note, these were taken before the final touches were completed! 🙂

You start your journey trying on dresses with the amazing stylists at K&B Bridals. They’ll help you find the dress that truly reflects YOU and your wedding.

This is my favorite dress in the store right now! What can I say, I love the bling!

While trying on your dress, Randie of Faye Daniel Designs can pop downstairs and help you accessorize your gown choice. She has so many of her samples on site to show you examples of what she can do. But if you need more options, you can walk upstairs to her workshop to talk about other options. She showed me drawers upon drawers of beautiful jewels, beads and all kinds of stuff!

Feeling overwhelmed with all of this? Need a little (or a lot) of help with your wedding? Moore & Co. Event Stylists is on site as well! They have styled and planned many weddings/events and bridal shows that I’ve seen (and photographed) over the years and are always so impressive!
