Our next bride, Stephanie, is quite special to us in many ways... Can't believe that we're saying this, but we have been knowing her since she was little.  Like really little!  Through our church, we got to know her amazing family.... and to this day, we admire them so much.  Well, one day, Stephanie was all grown up and started working at the same church that we used to.

As you can imagine, what we do is heavily dependent upon the weather... One of our morning rituals is to check the hourly, daily and the weekly forecast.  If there's any chance of rain or other bad weather that could affect our portrait sessions, we contact our clients with our concern immediately to communicate what other options can be.  But, how many of you know that Mr. Weatherman can be wrong sometimes?

So many photographers ask us if we attend bridal shows and if it's worth it.  Um.... YES!  It's always a YES for us.  You may notice that we begin many blogs by saying, "We met so and so from a bridal show earlier this year...".  And, we begin this blog by saying the same thing!

One of the things that we love doing with our clients is coordinating their outfits for their engagement session.  Our brides send photos of their ideas to us and go back and forth with suggestions and more ideas.  Ashley wanted an all out glamorous shoot for her session, so when she sent us a photo of her red dress, we were in LOVE!

We met Erica at a bridal show, and I clearly remember the joy that she carried with her when she came to our booth.  She too has a lot of experience with weddings.  Because she knows the industry and understands how to run a wedding, we clicked right away.

If you're in the south, I'm sure you'll agree with me that it's been one long, hot summer... Just when we expected it to cool down by the end of Sept, the heat wave continued throughout Oct.  We originally had Kelsey + Ryan's e-session scheduled more than a month ago, but we decided that the weather would be much better in Oct.

Stories are powerful... the story of someone makes you understand that person more and deeper.  It allows you to have more compassion and feelings towards that person.  One privilege we get to have in this job is to to hear our couples' stories... how our couples met is one story that I love hearing.

Friends... We all want them and need them.  Without them, what is life?  Even with your future spouse, isn't it all about finding your best friend?  We all desire a companion... someone we can go to, someone we can talk to, someone we can cry with and most importantly, someone we can trust.

Many photographers have asked us if it’s worth attending a bridal show.  Our answer is always, “YES!”  I mean, why wouldn’t you?  Hundreds of brides come TO YOU!  We have met countless brides and couples there and it provides 25% of our annual income.
