To All our Clients

Steve and I wanted to take a few moments and say something directly to all our clients this year...THANK YOU! We have worked with so many amazing people so far (with a few more still to come) and we are lucky to now count so many of you among our friends.

It's been an interesting year for us. Most of you have no idea that my mom has been battling breast cancer - she is now fine - and that has thrown some extra stress into the mix for Steve and I. We've also watched both our children go off to school this year with the oldest heading to Kindergarten and our youngest to preschool. We moved into a great new studio, and this has been our busiest and best year to date! We passed the 300 wedding mark this year and we are looking forward to the next 300!

On the professional front, I made the full transition to digital this season (although I still shoot film for those clients who requested it before I switched). It has been a steep learning curve as the technology of digital is so different than that of film. So it has slowed us down a little bit. Where we used to take our film to the lab and have them do all our post work, we're now doing it ourselves. It's taken a bit of time to develop a truly cohesive approach to editing and we very much appreciate the patience and understanding that you have all shown us. We want to provide you all with the very best product possible - and we're doing that. This year has resulted in an incredible body of work, from both of us.

We have been able to stretch our boundaries and push ourselves outside of our comfort zones. We challenge ourselves at each and every wedding to find, create, and try something we have never tried before. Not every attempt has been successful - but most have been wonderful suprises. It can be something as simple as finding a new location, or as complicated as playing with light. It has a been a really fun project. Having clients that trust us and are willing to do what we ask without question has led us to incredible artistic growth and we thank each of you for that. We are truly able to make art out of the ordinary and we are so grateful for that.

Enough of my rambling - back to editing! Keep on eye on the blog in the next few days as we hope to catch up on all our images and revive the Brides of 2005 post. We're even hoping to start a thread about the funniest things that happen at weddings, so if you guys remember an odd or unusual, or even disasterous thing that happened at your wedding, let me know and I'll include it.

Once again, thanks to each of you that we have already worked with and those who we'll be with soon!
