Tying the Knot Baby Boom

What an amazing year this has been! We photographed 55 weddings in 2005, and we are now finalizing all the editing. We often chat about how fortunate we are to be able to spend a little bit of time with so many amazing people. We witness so many different religious and cultural traditions that we would not otherwise be exposed to. How lucky to have some insight into the traditions of other cultures...everyone should have the opportunity to see that love and marriage are, at their core, universally beautiful. Our children reap the benefits of what Steve and I are able to see as we have a rich understanding that we can pass on to them. Knowledge breeds acceptance and tolerance and we are so blessed to have gained some of that knowledge.

One of the most amazing aspects of what we do is that it never ends with the wedding. So many of our couples go on to have children and we get to see their families grow. It has been a relatively slow process with most of our couples choosing to wait a little before starting their families. 2005 seems to be the exception to that. I think at last count, 7 or 8 of our couples are already pregnant and 2 have already had their babies!! And I just found out about one more couple that is expecting! Having my own kids makes the news of our expanding Tying the Knot family even more exciting. I can't wait for all these new babies to arrive to we can make more pictures with our extended family.

Congratulations to each of you !
