Merry Christmas to All

To each and every one of our 55 couples of 2005 - Merry Christmas! I know that not all of you celebrate Christmas...so Happy Holidays, Happy New Year, Happy Chanukah, Kwaanza, and whatever else you may celebrate this season. We are so happy and blessed to have met you all. Thanks again for making 2005 one of the very best years ever!

And for those clients, old and new, who we did not see enough of (or at all) in 2005, we wish you and your expanding families the Happiest of Holidays as well!

As for us, we do celebrate Christmas and with two little boys in our house, it is just crazy right now! We do our best to limit the excitement level every year, but Ethan (our 3 1/2 year old) has finally figured out what the big deal is and he can't wait for Santa to come and visit him. Our (almost) 6 year old Logan has even offered to waive his usual fee for cleaning so that he will remain on the "nice" list. Although he has assured me that this offer expires after Santa visits.

While Santa is, of course, an important part of our tradition, perhaps the very best part is that our home becomes a gathering place for family and friends. I actually cook *gasp* Christmas dinner each year and even if it's not great, everyone still eats their fill at a very crowded table. This year my brother and his family won't be in Vancouver until the New Year, and they, and the chaos they bring, will be missed.

In the spirit of the season, we'll be taking a little time off. Well, we'll probably still check our email, but we've dedicated the next week or so to our children (they deserve it so very much!).

So to each of you - hold your loved ones close and remember that without them, all the other amazing aspects of your life would not be as sweet. My boys are the very best thing in my world, other than my husband, and we are so blessed to have family close at this time of year. We can't wait for 2006 to start and to embrace more people into our growing Tying the Knot family.

Happy Holidays Everyone! We'll see you in the New Year.

Let's get Blogging!

We love our blog! It is such a great way for us to share a little bit of our lives with clients, friends, and other photographers. We get to give a little sneak peek of our work, as well as express how we feel about our clients. We can let everyone know what we're up to and how much we enjoy what we do.

But I think the best part, so far, is that our clients are blogging too! We can only share such a small part of each wedding day, but our clients can tell their whole story on their own blog. So, we wanted to share some of those blogs with the people who check in here.

This week: Ivone and Reza, our Ocotber 15th clients. Check it out! You'll learn a lot about their wedding day and you might see a little bit of us in action.
