Erin and Brian|Engagement!!

I absolutely love when, after rescheduling a session more than once due to weather, we are blessed with an incredibly GORGEOUS day. It has happened before, and it happened again with Erin and Brian. The best part is... rescheduling led us to shoot in a different location that we had originally planned, and we loved it! When we finally had our perfect day, Eric and I drove to Cincinnati to meet up with Erin and Brian at Findlay Market... an awesome farmer's market that they visit often. It was perfect, because it was a part of their life and what they enjoy doing... and that's our ultimate goal for these fun sessions :) After Findlay Market, we went to the beautiful Ault Park. Have I mentioned how much we love finding incredible new places to shoot? LOVED Erin and Brian's choices for the day! Here are a few favorites from the afternoon... Enjoy!

Congratulations, Erin and Brian! We can't wait for your wedding!!

It's All About Spreading the Love!

Justin and Mary Marantz are a fabulous husband-wife photography team in New Haven, Connecticut. Eric and I had the wonderful pleasure of meeting them on the coldest day EVER in the fall of 2008. While we were vacationing in New England, we were blessed to have them shoot some awesome winter portraits of us. The original idea was a fall session, but it was just WAAAAAY too cold!!! (Check 'em out here if you want!)

Anyway, if there's one thing Justin and Mary are FABULOUS at (besides being incredible photographers, of course!), it is how they "Spread the Love". The way that they continually make their clients and colleagues feel on a day to day basis is completely UN-ordinary... and truly remarkable. So, when we heard that the Marantz's were touring the country and putting on a "Spread the Love" workshop, we didn't even think twice about signing up. Yesterday, we drove to Nashville to be a part of this awesome event, and it was 110% worth it.

Customer service today seems to have such a negative connotation to it. The customer service people are the ones you talk to when you want to complain. It seems as though their sole purpose is to fix mistakes and try to satisfy unhappy customers. I just finished reading a great book called "Raving Fans" which ties in perfectly to the message of the "Spread the Love" workshop... and we have decided that satisfied customers just aren't good enough for us. Our heads are overflowing with ideas right now as we try to sort through all the fabulous information we have gained. Our biggest goal for 2010 is to go above and beyond giving our clients what they expect and truly giving them an experience they'll love!!!

Here's to the best year yet! :)

Shellie and Adam|The Wedding!!

In our quest to finish posting some of our favorite images from the fall, I wanted to share a few from Shellie and Adam's fabulous wedding. Despite the clouds gathering and threatening rain, it turned out to be an absolutely perfect day for an outdoor wedding! They were married at the Louisville Visual Art Center (aka the Water Tower). I LOVED their fall decor of colorful leaves and mums which graced the cake and tables inside the reception hall. Enjoy a few favorites from the day!

Congrats, Shellie and Adam!
