Brandy and I are about to celebrate our 5 year anniversary this July and we are just so excited to be celebrating this milestone! If you have known us long or have worked with us before, you already know that we don't just love weddings; we love weddings, but we love marriage even more! We care about the marriages that we have been able to influence even the slightest bit by our example or by our photos. We have learned over the years that great marriages don't just happen -- they take lots of continual maintenance. Yes, you read that right, marriage takes WORK! We have always had this dream that in 20 or even 50 years when we are retired on some tropical beach somewhere (I did say it was a dream) that we could look back at our career as wedding photographers and know that every single marriage we photographed is still going strong. Even if we can play a small part in that, whether it be the little gifts we give our brides before the wedding (we've been getting RAVE reviews about how we upped our game this year!), the constant reminder of their beautiful wedding from the gorgeous photos on their walls, or doing giveaways like this, we love to help anyway we can.
Last year Brandy and I had a chance to go to a weekend long marriage conference called "A Weekend to Remember" and we walked away feeling so refreshed and connected. The speakers were amazing and completely honest and candid about the path their own marriages were on. They opened up about their own struggles and triumphs on a relatable level that later opened up a lot of communication between Brandy and I. Don't ever think of this kinds of conferences as being only for failing marriages or for couples who do nothing but argue. Every single marriage can get something out of this, so we wanted to share this experience with one of our couples! We will be attending this conference as well, and wanted to allow another couple to go and we're picking up the tickets for you! Enter below! :-)
FamilyLife announces "I Still DO", a powerful, practical, one-day marriage event where couples can invest in and strengthen their marriage. Couples will join thousands of others to affirm the fundamental importance of strong, healthy, committed marriages in every culture. By exploring God's design for marriage, couples will have a chance to reaffirm that their marriage matters -- to their children and to the rest of society.
The "I Still Do" event is October 4, 2014 at the Verizon Center in Washington, DC so there is still plenty of time to plan to attend. This contest is open to any married couple, not just our past clients, so please be sure to share this blog post and this contest with any and all your married friends who want to spend a day strengthening their marriage! Entering the contest is easy, just follow the directions below, follow our social media pages, and be sure to leave us a comment down below this blog post to let us know you're entered, excited for the event, and excited for your marriage! Hope to see you there!
