Ijeoma + Chima / The Glen Hotel & Stone Ridge Event Center Wedding

Every time we see one of our couple’s wedding photos, it’s crazy how we can remember it like it was yesterday for us. The photos trigger a special part of our hearts and minds, and we especially remember the unique moments that happened at that wedding. Even if it was a wedding YEARS ago, we still remember!

Ok, so I’m sure you’ve heard of the phrase, “Go big or go home!” right? Yes, I’m all for that saying and love clients who think that way too! Dede + Jason broke many records for us in our business and as photographers.

To be honest with you, sometimes I’ve wondered if posting on Instagram, Facebook, writing blogs, emails or anything like that “works”. Is it doing anything for our business? Is it making any kind of impact? Is anyone really reading the stuff we write?

I think we all have a sixth sense in knowing if someone is being true to you… if someone genuinely loves you. I’m currently reading the book, “Holy Sprit” by John Bevere and he explains the Holy Spirit in ways I’ve never been taught before.

#COKids Themed Portraits / Unique Memories For a Lifetime

As parents, don’t you want to freeze time sometimes?  Don’t you ever look at your child and wonder, “Wow…. I wish she could stay like this forever.” or “I really love the stage that he’s in right now.”  As parents ourselves, we too have felt that way many times and still do…. and you know as well as I that kids grow up fast and you want to do whatever you can to remember every stage and what they liked or were into during that time.

Savannah, GA... the only memory I have of this place was when I was in high school, my mom and her friends wanted to go spontaneously from August, GA to get some fresh seafood.  So, we got there at night, had dinner and drove back!  So, I never got to see anything in daylight..

Brooke + Brooks / Willow Creek Farm Wedding

As I grow older and older, I realize more and more that life for anyone and everyone is full of joys and challenges.  There are days that are the best, but there are days that fall short.  But, there's this thing called hope that allows us to cling and to hold onto something much greater called love.  We have faith that love is what gives us any reason to live this life and to live it fully and abundantly.

I clearly remembered Loren and Richard come to our booth at a bridal show in January.  I remembered thinking, "Wow!  What a beautiful couple!"  As they looked through our albums, I could tell right away that they knew how to appreciate the art of photography.  The questions that they asked were different than the norm... they knew how to ask the technical and the artistic side of digital photography, and I really appreciated that about them.

Just in case you don't know yet, things happen.  We can control only so much.  Sometimes, there's nothing we can do.  Like at all... That's where love comes in.  When love enters, it just makes everything better.  It makes us stop and realize that that's the only thing that matters in life.  In the end, that's all we need.
