Happy New Year….

December 31, 2007

What a great year 2007 was….  I look back on the past year as a new year is here and what a fantastic year it was, we were blessed in so many ways.I got to marry by best friend and I finally got to experience being a bride after seeing everyone else’s wedding while photographing the many beautiful weddings we did this year.  We got to meet many great couples this year and made some new friends in the process.  

Not to mention we became a Aunt and Uncle this year and it couldn’t be more fun, I also became a “aunt” to two other boys this year as well with two of my best friends having babies.  We have lots of little ones to spoil now :)  

We also became first time home owners which is so exciting, because it give us the opportunity for our little family to grow (don’t take that the wrong way, there are no kids in the plans for a few year, sorry Bev!) and it also gives us more room for our business to grow.  2008 is already shaping up to be a busy year, as our wedding schedule is booking up fast and we plan on expanding our portrait/lifestyle part of our business as well as some other new exciting things in the work for Shutter Love.  

We look forward to 2008 as we look back on how great 2007 was for us.   What were the highlights of 2007 for you, share them!  We love comments :)

What are you doing next weekend? (Jan 5 & 6th)

Well if you are planning a wedding you should stop by the Superbowl of all Bridal Fairs.  It is a two day bridal fair at Gladieux Meadows and Stranahan.   We will have a booth there (I believe we will be a Gladieux Meadows, I’ll let you all know if we hear differently).  Stop by and say hi! If you plan on going you can pre-register at ToledoTieTheKnot.com   and receive $2 off at the door, why not save some money! See you all there :)
