I think your little endings are fun- let us see what the wedding couple was like even more. PLUS when we are the ones you took the pics of…. its super sweet to see what you thought of shooting our big day and hanging out with our crazy families : ) But I’m excited to see your new idea too

Hi Ashley! 🙂

I completely see where you’re coming from… but it’s just so so soooo hard for me to keep up with 🙁

Photos…words…it doesn’t matter to me. I love everything you post! Keep doing your thang. 😉

Bobbi!

I always read the text at the end. But I also appreciate how long it must take to come up with a thoughtful, unique insight into each and every wedding you shoot.

And I’m a fan of the vendor list – good business sense, and it helps everyone recreate those gorgeous weddings you shoot!

Cheers!
Brad

Just don’t take away the photos of you and Mike “in action” — I LURVE those!

Way to go doing something that will greatly benefit your life! It again shows how real you are! The people you photograph know you think they are amazing… Thanks for this! Maybe you could send the couple a quick note to tell them their blog post is up and send them a short, sweet note… This way you don’t sound like a broken record b/cthey only read their one email 🙂 bravo for continuing to do the things you are incredible at and not worrying about things that are not your strengths!

Sounds like a great plan! I always read the captions and then the little part at the very, very end that goes along with the photos of you+mike shooting. Why do I read those parts? Because they show your personality and that’s what rocks this blog and your business (second only to the images themselves).

I think some bit by or specific to the couple (some random facts that show their eccentricities and idiosyncrasies) would really being in keeping with how you bond with your couples and relate to your “audience”. You so smart. 😉

Less is more! Although i often enjoyed the little “blurbs”, your fans/clients don’t need it to see your talent, personality & love. It’s evident in your work.

Do you think by the time I get married, you’ll be back to writing more? I mean, it could be be awhile. 😉 Jk. I love you just the way you are. PS – BIG fan of the vendor list.

I LOVE to read your writings. I love both the photos and the writing. You are so funny and share so much that it is a joy to come to your blog and find out all about your days!! If it makes you happy to write,……then write away!!!

You know, I am not a writer either… but I’ve heard a few photogs say they write BECAUSE it makes the readers fall in love with the couple before they see the images… and then those images become personal…whether they know the couple or not… and that drives business… however… I sort of think that the people who say that.. dont have strong enough images to stand alone… So they have to incorporate their personality into the post… to “Set the mood/tone” for the images… With that being said… I think that YOUR images are some of the most fantastic shots (standing alone) that I’ve ever seen… THEY make a statement… so you don’t HAVE to… And I think that your personality comes out quite a bit in those little comments in between the images. I sure hope you read this… It took a while to write this without it coming out wrong. 🙂

Hi friends!

Thank you all so much for your encouragement… changing something that works so well is quite scary… but, for my sanity… it had to happen.

Writing this blog has been a huge part of the growth of our business…. I’m 10000% sure of that! But, like Lacy said… in the beginning… I wasn’t as strong of a photographer as I am now.. and what I lacked in photography I made up with words…

I think my personality and who I am shows through in everything that I do… from the images… to the little blurbs between images… you’ll definitely “hear” me 😀

Like I said… if something hilarious happens or something especially uhm… special 😉 happens… I’ll be sure to include it…

Thanks again for your feedback… you guys are the best.

Love, ❗

PS. Kaila… thank you 🙂

i’ve been toying with this idea for a while now. either way do what you do yo 😉

i love reading your stories at the end! it’s a connection… if i were a future bride {who DIDN’T know your amazingness!} i’d want to hear all the stories, and of course see the photos, to connect with you. Love your blog. ‘nough said.

I applaud you for putting your sanity first! There are days when writing just flows for a blog post. Other times, it takes me forever to get a post written. When it stops being fun and natural, it is time to make a change because it will show and you will be unhappy with it. Your photos are amazing and I look forward to each new post, words or no words!

I find myself stalling for days to come up with something fresh to write about each couple as well. I love the way you write. Since I’ve never met you, I feel like I can even hear you saying it out loud. I definitely think your writing has really given me personally a way to connect with you over the internet (even though we’ve never met, haha), but hopefully you can still show your personality thru captions. =) Keep up the great work!

I understand… but why don’t you post the text at the beginning of the blog post and not at the end? 😉 I like to know more about the bride and grooms before seeing the pics.

Bobbi.

You have the gift. You may think that what you are saying is redundant, but the heart felt feeling is still heard by all your bloggers and myself. Do not put too much pressure on yourself as to loose your sanity. Your Momba will always worry and support the personal challenges you put on yourself and Mikey.

I love you both,

Momba

know what you mean a trillion percent. (from the photographer’s point of view)
