After 14 years of having typically one or two weddings to cover in our “down” season of January through March, yesterday I began an unprecedented winter stretch of six events in six weekends. It’s a strange feeling. This is the time when I am accustomed to twiddling my thumbs for 2-3 months, working on other projects, reorganizing the studio, and trying out new looks for the website as well as our videos. Instead, having completed our last edit from the previous season just a couple of weeks ago, this seems like a continuation of the 2007 season without much of a break or the feeling of starting anew. But considering how great last year was, staying on that roll is perfectly fine with me, as I am very blessed to be able to do what I do for a living – and to pay the bills in winter!

Helping out the cause were Amber & Nic, a very fun-loving couple who were referred to us by their friends Candace & Damon (who could not book us for their wedding last year but thought enough of us to kindly refer us). The ceremony took place at Central Presbyterian Church in Terre Haute, with amazing floral design overseen by consultant and best-selling author Teddy Lenderman. Amber had lost her voice prior to the weekend but managed to get through her vows and the rest of the day anyway. The reception setup at the Country Club of Terre Haute was equally fab, and DJ Matt Luecking of Showtime Music kept the small dance floor so packed that photographer David Stapp and I could barely get around, which is a good thing. The chicken dance rarely makes it into the highlight video, but this one surely will!
