It has been a long morning already. We woke up in Highlands, North Carolina at 3:30 am, drove to Atlanta and caught a flight to Chicago. We are now here and have much to catch up on the blog with weddings and where we have been. While we were up here we took pictures of some of my brother’s work (he builds beautiful custom log homes). One is built right by this waterfall. We thought you might enjoy this homeowner’s view every morning.
Many times Chris and I find that we put our client’s needs before ours. After all, serving each and every one of you is what our passion is and why we exist. We love seeing your stories unfold, documenting it as if you were our own family and preserving it for generations. We see albums come in and out of the studio. In to your hands and are proud of each one of them. Unfortunately, we’ve not treated our own story with the same respect. I was able to take time this summer and tell our story. We then sent it off to be handcrafted. It returned last week and we were extremely pleased and relieved to have this book complete.
We talk to our clients about how this book will be passed down for generations to come and to imagine their grandchildren getting to know you through the pages. Your book is what will let them know where they come from. It suddenly hit me that my own children and grandchildren will treasure our book and this love story between Chris and I. It makes me emotional just writing it to imagine the days of stories told and dreams retold to the eyes and ears of a child.
We adore Cypress Albums and what we love to give our clients. It is the only company we trusted with our own story as well. It is quite large and measures in at 12″ x 14″ and is over sixty pages.
The naturally deckled edges.
Our DVD Folio that will hold our slideshow.
I can’t believe you are teasing us. Will the rest of us get to see it as well?
I can’t wait to see it!
On Labor Day, Chris and I enjoyed spending time with Elizabeth and creating her Bridal Portraits. I was not able to share them with you until now since her wedding was on Saturday. There will be many more images of the amazing day on the blog soon. For now though I wanted to share these images with you.
Enjoy!
[…] the last few months Elizabeth has become a sweet friend of ours as we’ve seen and have been there to capture her wedding. […]
Oh, stunning! This brought back so many memories of the beauty in that area – I grew up there, but haven’t been back for over 20 years. This just made it all flood back at once.
Beautiful! You two did the waterfall amazing justice!!
