Best Places to See in Portland Maine - Photo Recap

A few weeks ago, Stephen and I were in Portland Maine for a very exciting destination wedding for one of our TréCreative couples. Although we would have loved to stay longer, our day and a half of sight seeing and exploring the beautiful state of Maine was just what we needed. The wedding we were originally there for went off without a hitch and after sleeping in the next day, we started grabbing coffee.

A Season of Trimming

Left unattended, a vine will spend all it’s energy extending its branches. It will keep going until it literally has no energy left to produce leaves much less fruit. If you find a 20ft grape vine you’ll notice the first few feet may have fruit, then you’ll see leaves, and the end is all stick. A grapevine becomes a stick tree if it’s over extended. If you don’t prune the branch all the way back to it’s fruitfulness, then the vines capacity to produce fruit will be spent only to grow sticks.

Working With Your Spouse

When we're at weddings, at church, or out and about in the community, people always seem intrigued that we’re able to work together as husband and wife team. That we're able to enjoy what we do, and not totally kill each other.

Early in our marriage, I was shocked that so many people had this viewpoint of working with their spouse. The longer I’ve been married, the more realization of how rare this can be done well. Marriage is hard enough by itself, and yet adding a working partner can cause even more complications.

Diamonds Have Been On Our Mind...

While I’m adventuring around Europe and having the time of my life with my mom, Stephen is doing a wonderful job holding down the fort for the both of us back home at TréCreative. He’s so great! Before we left, we had such a great conversation. It’s never taken much for us to dive deep and challenge one another. I love that about us. Before I left, we were talking about diamonds…

New Orleans Five Year Anniversary Photos – Destination Photography

In just a few months, March to be exact, we’ll be celebrating our 5 year wedding anniversary! We made a commitment when we got married that each year at least once, we would get in front of the camera. Whenever we have our yearly travel planned out, if everything aligns, we take advantage of having these photos taken all over the United States. Last year, we took them in Charleston, and this year while we were in New Orleans for The Rising Tide Leaders Retreat, we had them taken by our friend and talented photographer, Lauren Swann!

Northern California Film Photographer - A Weekend Getaway

I have been eagerly anticipating sharing this blog post for quite some time now! A few weeks ago, we were wedding guests for the first time in over a year.
