Saying We Do...

Photograph weddings?!?!...

We love weddings!  They are beautiful and special and there are so many wonderful opportunities to get creative with photos!  But…we made a conscious decision not to photograph them.   The decision was for a lot of reasons – we didn’t have pricing in place, they are a lot of work and take a lot of time - and we both have other jobs!  And….let’s just put it out there!  We weren’t willing to risk providing anything less than perfect images of a once in a lifetime day.  There are lots of “what ifs” involved!  It’s not like if the pictures don’t turn out you can go back and have a “do over”!

All that changed on January 29!  Change is good!  So is stepping out of your comfort zone.  We took wedding photos for some very special people on their very special day and we were actually pretty pleased with the results.

So why did we do it?  As I said, these are two very special people and we have some pretty special connections.  The bride is my co-grandma (to Hailey).  She is Tiffany’s mom and she has done an absolutely amazing job as a single mom raising two smart, independent and all-around awesome young women.  And the groom has done a pretty great job raising his four kids too.  And now they have a big, blended family that is going to change the face of everything they do from now on…birthdays, holidays, parties, you name it!

We did it because we wanted to!  We did it because we wanted to be part of all that was special about these two people finding each other and deciding to spend the rest of their lives together.  We did it because we thought maybe we were ready to take a baby step into the world of wedding photography.  I don’t know when we’ll do another but when we do, we’ll have just a little more confidence about it.   Thanks, J & G, for stepping out there with us and trusting us to capture your wedding day with images that we hope will bring lots of good memories each time you look at them.

I'd like to raise my glass and make a toast the happy couple all over again! 
I couldn't do it before...I had my camera in my hands!

Happy Valentines Day to you and the ones you love...
