So... we booked Darby + Cody's wedding months ago and knew that our trip to West Virginia was coming for awhile. When we have destination weddings, we try to drive it because we just don't like to take any risk with our equipment getting lost or damaged if at all possible. Plus, we like road trips especially Craig... we love the scenery and sometimes we so wish we had a couple to take photos of when we see some magical places as we drive by them.
As photographers, it's the most heart breaking thing when photos just stay in hard drives. Photographs are meant to become art in your home! One of my favorite thing to do is help our clients design the empty walls of their home and make it come alive! Seeing our clients' expressions when they receive canvases, prints or albums is absolutely priceless! Your photographs are one of a kind, unique art that you should show off!
One of the most common questions we get is, "How do you get your clients?" We meet them through many different ways, but one of the ways is at weddings! We meet at least one engaged couple who is very interested in our photography and we book them! And yes, this is how I met Kyle for the first time!
How many of you have a room in your home that you don't really use? For us, it was our dining room... We put dining furniture there because that's just what you do. For many years, I looked into that room and wondered why we even have it when for us, all we did was eat there once a year on Thanksgiving Day. Since last year, God has been stirring in me a need to pray more and to create a space for this purpose in our home.
There's something special and unique we remember from every wedding we have shot, but I must say that Stephanie + Sydney's tops them all! At that very moment, it was stressful and many decisions had to be made quickly, but you know what? Everything worked out... in fact, it worked out so great that I think every wedding should be like this!!
I believe that everything happens for a reason. That nothing is just a coincidence. Even with our clients, I know that it's more than "just business". There's more of a reason than just because they booked us. I know because I believe in a God who is far bigger than that, and I believe that he has everything under control.
