We spend our days telling the love stories of our clients. But today, we’re sharing our own. There’s a time of year – right around Halloween – where we do a happy dance and breathe a heavy sigh. Our busy season is almost over. Deck chairs go in, weekends are free to hike, rake, nap, be. Darkness, then holidays, then snow. The happy dance turns a bit antsy around Valentine’s Day. The snow is slush. The cabin fever is real. And by the end of March, it’s an aggressive, pent-up almost angry dance. All the while, the camera is present.
This is our love story. We are unique in that we spend more time during the Winter getting away from each other than most couples spend trying to carve out enough relationship time. Don’t let this post fool you, Winters for us mean serious computer time. Re-edting the website, talking with newly-engaged couples, and critiquing the past year’s work. There is freelance work, and the rogue January bride – and boy do we love these couples – they make the Winter seem shorter.
Finally comes a 60-degree day. All of the sudden our first wedding of the season is just a few weeks away. Stuff melts and we heavy sigh again. I promise we will get back to business tomorrow, but for now, Happy April Fools Day, and enjoy this un-wedding!
