Doing more with less

One of the things I like most about being a wedding photographer is the chance I have to be a calming influence in the middle of all the chaos. This year we will continue to make the “trusted adviser” role a central part of the Craige & van Roden offer. It won’t cost our clients anything. It’s just who we are, and what I believe we are supposed to do.

Here’s our first suggestion: Write a short story. Imagine that you are about to celebrate your 25th wedding anniversary and are looking back on your wedding day. Describe what was wonderful about the day, what was really special, and what you most enjoyed. Don’t try to cover every little detail. Stick with what was most important and memorable.  Was it warm or cool, dark or light, inside or outside? Who were you surprised and excited to see? Were you rested and relaxed?  What do you remember seeing, tasting, hearing? Touching? Do you remember unique aromas?

If you keep to only a few paragraphs what you will be doing is pre-visualizing what is most important to you about your wedding day and setting yourself up for success as you continue through the planning process. Give it a try and let us know how it turned out.
