i woke up early today, made a cup of coffee and came to sip it in my office while i go over my calendar for the week and prepare for a wedding later today at the ladybird johnson wildflower center. as i opened up my calendar (yes, a paper calendar. you can bring a girl into the digital age, but i’m not letting go of my paper!) i also opened my inbox. this heartfelt email from last weeks’ bride made my whole day already.
people will ask me if i shoot weddings because i love them. and i do. but what i love even more are the brides who hire me.
“You were so much more than a photographer for me that day. Your calming presence, reassuring smile and all around awesomeness meant so much. I told my sister that it felt like the coordinator was there to keep the wedding in order and you were there to keep my head in order! I don’t think I can try to put it into words before the bride hormones get the best of me![]()
I have been singing your praises high and low (even though your photos do that for you) and can’t imagine having had anyone else photograph our wedding. Thank you for being a part of what will surely be one of the very best days of our lives.”
