    How about a new post?

    Monday, 5 April 2010

    I freely admit that we have been a tad neglectful of our blog these past few weeks…okay, month and a half. But, we’ve had good reason. In addition to taking a much-needed three-week vacation, (Yes, that’s right, three weeks of doing a whole lotta nothing…hallelujah!) we’ve been working our butts off to get all of the albums for this year’s clients done and out the door before our first wedding of the season in May.

    It sounds like it wouldn’t be such a hard thing to do. But, we’re persnickety. Very persnickety. We want our albums to be perfect for our wonderful couples and perfect requires a heavy investment of time. We do enhancements and apply minor, and sometimes major, retouching to every image that goes into our albums to give them our signature look. And, with 35+ albums, each album having 20-42 pages with 20 -100 images and each image edit taking anywhere from 5 to 10 minutes, that adds up to A LOT of time spent in front of the computer.

    So, with lots of busy work to do and little time for photographing, we haven’t been very good about our regular blog posts. We were reminded of that today with a very funny e-mail from one of our grooms, Sean, whose wedding we photographed four years ago and with whom we’ve kept in regular contact.

    Here’s one of our favorite photos/moments from Sean & Whitney’s wedding at The Dennis Inn. It’s a photo of Sean as he watches Whitney walk down the aisle to become his wife. The excitement on his face in that moment was contagious!

    We enjoyed Sean’s message so much, we thought it the perfect post to kick off a series of posts we’re working on uploading very soon…including some photos from our fabulous 3-week Panamanian vacation. Stay tuned!

    In the meantime, here’s Sean’s e-mail:

    “Hey Christine & Andy -
    Just checking up to let you know that I still read your blog and am waiting for new posts & pics!  Your blog is one of my periodic photo necessities, so, let’s get a new update!?!
    Glad to see that business will be treating you well this summer.  You deserve the accolades and business!  Whitney and I will be back on the Cape this summer with the rest of the family.  I think we’ll be there for our 4, yes 4! year anniversary.  Yikes!
    Also wanted to let you know that I’ll be posting some new vacation pics in a week or so on my smugmug page.  Whitney and I spent a week in the Virgin Islands and the camera never left my side.  The colors at the beach were amazing blues and greens, so I’m hoping I captured some of that (God bless the polarizing filter!).  I’ll let you know when it’s up.
    Anyway, just wanted to say hi again and let you know I’m still a faithful follower.
    Cheers,
    Sean”

    Big thanks to Sean and all of our “faithful followers” who have been patiently awaiting a new post. More to follow soon…we promise! Love & hugs, Christine & Andy
