2010 Weddings - Updates

Happy New Year everyone!!

As we close out 2009 - I thought now would be a good time to talk about 2010. Specifically weddings for 2010 - we are always planning ahead!

Brandi and I have made the decision to book a limited number of weddings next year (starting tomorrow --- wow can't believe 2010 is here already). We thought long and hard on how many we wanted to offer to still be able to grow our business and balance our personal lives. We want to make sure we give every Bride and Groom ample time to meet with us and also give us ample time to go through those thousands of pictures we take each wedding and present them in a reasonable amount of time. Basically we don't want it to take 12 weeks for you to get your pictures back ---- we hate waiting and we know you do too.

We also want to make sure we are giving our other non wedding clients their equal time too. We will be launching our new studio shortly and hope to have it filled through the winter and into next summer. So by capping our weddings at a reasonable number we can focus on our other clients too. Again, we don't want our Studio customers to wait 12 weeks for their prints either.

Finally we are deciding to limit the numbers so we can have a sort of life. We absolutely love what we do. We love meeting new people and capturing memories that will last a lifetime, but we also want to make our own memories too. The reason we live in Maine is because we Love Summers in Maine - not only for wedding season, but for everything that Maine has to offer.
So yes, that seems like a long rant - but I wanted to make sure everyone knew why we were capping our weddings this year.

So lets get down to numbers --- We are going to cap our weddings at 10. That's right - the number is out there. That's a little less then 2 weddings a month. We are also quickly reaching that number, so I would urge everyone reading this to contact us right away. I have updated the calendar on the website to show all of our commitments for 2010 so far. If your date is available on the calendar - WRITE TO US! If you let us know you are interested then we will tentatively reserve your date. What this mean is - if another Bride contacts us for your date, we will let you know right away so you can make a decision. When it comes down to it, the deposit actually saves your date - get the deposit in early and reserve your date --- very easy!

Now, back to the 10 --- this number is not set in stone. Please always check with us to see if we are still reserving dates. If your wedding just falls right and we don't have anything that month we can probably take you on --- of course if you are getting married in a FANTASTIC location and you would like us to be there ---- we would defiantly go over that number too. As always we are VERY flexible. Contact us --- let's see what we can do for you.

I couldn't have a post with out a picture ---- I have been updating the website a little and I changed our About Us picture, so I thought I would post it here.

That's Jonah - He really is a happy dog!
