Studio 67: It's good to feel loved!

As the leaves are turning and the time of Thanksgiving has just passed we'd like to take a moment to thank so many important people in our lives. To our family and friends who are always there to support and love us... thank you. To all the couples who we have had the pleasure of meeting and working with this past year and to those booked for 2010 - thank you for choosing us.
Today we received a very special thank you via email from Michael, one of our grooms (seen in engagement photos above) who is getting married in just 11 weeks, and we wanted to post it because it means so much to us. We absolutely love capturing life's most precious and amazing moments and stopping time if only for an instant... allowing those moments to be cherished for a lifetime. We do what we do because honestly it makes us feel amazing - perhaps that's a bit selfish, but when we realize how good it makes others feel, well that's a feeling beyond amazing.

Wendy + Michael - Jan. 7, 2010, Mayan Riviera... can't wait!

I haven't been blessed with my wedding day yet. That is happening around the corner. However, I have been blessed to have been introduced to these two truly talented and amazing individuals.

My fiancee nearly had to drag me to meet with them for our first consultation. And thankfully she did. We fell in love with their work instantly. I was sold within minutes. And that's saying a lot.

Since that time we've had the absolute pleasure of having them handle our engagement pictures and video. To use an over-used cliche, it exceeded our expectations. But truthfully, it did so much more than that. It made us realize that we were in very capable hands for our big day. We were being guided by good people with great talents. And we're so thankful for that.

Now if this was merely my testament to someone who's very good at what they do, well, it wouldn't break them apart from everybody else out there. And that's just where this story begins.

In my opinion, the true dividing point between two sets of people lies in the ability to not only be gifted at what you do but to be great at being you. Sincere, honest, generous and real. And these two people are exactly that.

Brian and Wanda make a great team. They share a passion for capturing memorable moments and they share an understanding that these moments define us. And luckily for us, we'll have these memories recorded for the rest of our lives.

They go above and beyond what is expected of a team like this. They become a fabric of your life. And they exceed even your wildest expectations. Why? Because they want to and they can.

I'm still waiting for that big day and I know that we'll have it captured in a way that we'll want to watch it over and over again.

Thanks for being a part of this process and journey. Thank you for you.

Also, in the spirit of Thanksgiving and Fall - here is a Keepsake Moments Shortfilm that we captured on Thanksgiving Day when we had the chance to hang out with my brother, sister in law and adorable nephew Ethan, who we affectionately call E-Man! xo
