How am I so lucky to always have such good looking couples to photograph? More to come soon!

Sometimes, people just fit… yes personality wise, temperament wise,  and on so many various levels. BUT, from day one, Michelle and Steve have fit in my head on a completely visual, and yes somewhat selfish level (teehee good photos make me giddy). That kind of, “yes, this is going to look RIGHT and GOOD thing”, that every photographer has felt at once moment or another. It makes me smile on the inside. So looking forward to shooting their Stafford, VA wedding this fall!

Purchased my ticket and put my order in for the wonderful wedding I am shooting in March in San Diego, CA, I am SO EXCITED!!! Although I love Virginia and DC, I am excited to see the beautiful west Coast again. I am so excitd for 2010 and the great things it is going to bring.

and… because posts are better with pictures…

I am getting antsy for wedding season to begin for me this year!! It’s like Christmas for a photographer! I helped one of my lovely brides find the perfect verse for their ceremony recently, and I love it so much I just wanted to share!

The Art Of A Good Marriage

Wilferd Arlan Peterson
 
Happiness in marriage is not something that just happens.
A good marriage must be created.
In marriage the little things are the big things.
It is never being too old to hold hands.
It is remembering to say “I love you” at least once a day.
It is never going to sleep angry.
It is at no time taking the other for granted; the courtship should not end with the honeymoon, it should continue through all the years.
It is having a mutual sense of values and common objectives.
It is standing together facing the world.
It is forming a circle of love that gathers in the whole family.
It is doing things for each other, not in the attitude of duty or sacrifice, but in the spirit of joy.
It is speaking words of appreciation and demonstrating gratitude in thoughtful ways.
It is not looking for perfection in each other.
It is cultivating flexibility, patience, understanding and a sense of humour.
It is having the capacity to forgive and forget.
It is giving each other an atmosphere in which each can grow.
It is a common search for the good and the beautiful.
It is establishing a relationship in which the independence is equal, dependence is mutual and the obligation is reciprocal.
It is not only marrying the right partner, it is being the right partner.

Couldn’t have said it better myself :)
