Day 1489 – Vacation!

We are currently on vacation! I plan on updating the blog every day, but we’ll see how that goes! 😉 We are actually on vacation with previous clients! Tif has been a friend for over 20 years…which always makes me feel old to say! I am so excited to kick back and relax.

I didn’t realize how badly I needed a real vacation until yesterday. It has been a very full few months and I am more drained than I realized. I’m very much looking forward to chilling with good friends! We had such a blast just getting down here (which is a blog post in itself!) I know it will be a super great time.

I mean, look at the view.

Day 1481 – I Wasn’t Lying When I Said This…

On my website, I say this… “Since we believe in cultivating a friendship with our couples, we really get to know them and keep in touch long after the wedding.”

Some couples we’re able to keep in contact with pretty regularly, some it’s not so often.

For Melinda Honhke, it was far too long. Five years in fact!

Tonight, I had the great joy of finally seeing my sweet bride. And you know, the best part was it felt like no time had passed at all. I’m so thankful for that connection with my clients!!

p.s. We set a date on the calendar while I was there! I shot the Hohnke wedding with my brother, not Bret, so they haven’t met him yet! I can’t wait til they do! 🙂

Day 1480 – It’s About The Marriage To Us – or – 50 Years and 0 Years

The main reason I started this blog was because I wanted to share: about our marriage, about our client’s marriages, advice on marriage and generally to honor marriage.

We love photographing weddings. Photographing together just gets better and better (like our marriage).

We love getting to know our clients and sharing in the joy of beginning a marriage.

On Saturday, we had the honor of taking a very special photograph. There was a couple at the wedding who was celebrating their 50 year anniversary THAT day. What a beautiful picture of marriage and life. A couple who has been around the block many times in their marriage, who clearly still loved each other deeply standing next to a young couple at the beginning of their marriage.

Billy and Stacey, my deepest wish for you is that you make it to 50 years just as happy and in love. 🙂

Day 1478 – A Few Behind The Scenes From The Scott Wedding

I really enjoy sharing behind the scenes shots…not sure why I didn’t before this year!

I picked out a few of my favs!

Funny story about this sign! The bride’s name is Stacey, the groom’s name is Billy and his last name is Scott. This is what was on the sign!

Bret’s always thinking about the next shot!

I had to zoom in close for the shoe shot because Stacey’s daughter was very interested in what I was doing! 🙂

I think it worked out. 🙂
