I wish I would have been able to share this piece with my Grandmother; I think she would have liked it very much. It reminds me of her; the beauty and gentleness of her. Such gorgeous music…

Getting back to a normal work schedule after several emotional days and decided to post a few images from Lisa’s preparations. There are so many incredible photos from their wedding. I just cannot wait to wrap up on editing so that I can share all of the wonderful moments we were fortunate to share with our couples this Fall and Winter. I have a wonderful career and I give thanks every day for the amazing people in my life.

Today I cannot seem to find words, the right words, to express the whole of what my heart feels. This day I leave it to a single image to do all  of the speaking for me.

I love you and miss you so very much,  Grandma.

Thank you Martha Stewart!

Actually, the thanks goes to our wonderful brides and grooms who took the time out of their busy schedules to tell the world about us by sharing their experiences online at Wedding Wire. The reviews were quite a wonderful surprise and reading each one was like receiving a huge hug from every couple.  I cannot express in words how incredible it made us feel to learn that doing what we love bring happiness into others’ lives as well. Couples today are bombarded with choices when planning their wedding and photography is no exception. Among a sea of photographers, our clients see something in our work, in us, that resonates with them. They realize that we’re as devoted to them and their experience as they are to each other and in that confidence our journey together begins. We look forward to getting to know and working with all of our unique couples in the coming year. Most of all, we look forward to creating new and lasting friendships.

And, because everything is better with pictures…
