one thing at a time...

"It does not matter how slowly you go up, so long as you don't stop." - Confucius

As the mounds of edits pile up on my computer this time of year I just keep trying to tell myself one thing at a time...I'll get through this as long as I'm always moving forward at some kind of pace...

amy & richard {canada wedding photos}

Words cannot express how amazing Amy & Richard are and were on their amazing wedding day. Cue the photos... :) :) :)

From the moment we arrived they were as sweet as could be and so welcoming. I truly felt by the time we left that we had come to Canada to be with our good friends on their wedding day and just happen to bring along a ton of photo equipment. I was in photo heaven shooting here and I feel nothing but extremely blessed and spoiled for working with these two. Ben and I both felt sad the day we said goodbye after spending all weekend with them.

Oh, by the way... Richard & Amy are amazing photographers! I felt so honored that they chose me to be there on the their special day! A little added pressure but it ended out being one of the most amazing experiences for me. Please go check out their blog here at http://redleafstudios.squarespace.com/
