You Can Blame Them.

These two, Ashley and Dan, are the reason I don't book a lot of weddings.

Well, they may not be the whole reason but they are definitely a part of it.

See if I book a lot of weddings, odds are one of them or more will fall on the date a friend of ours gets married.

Thus, I will miss the friend's wedding to work my tush off at another.

I just can't do it.

I love my friends and I LOVE seeing them get married.

So for the next few years, as our friends slowly marry off,

I will strictly limit the amount of weddings I book in a year to avoid the conflict.

It is to my clients' benefit-

Who would want to have a photographer shoot their wedding if their heart is somewhere else?

So you can blame them,

my friends are just too much fun.

Dan and Ashley have been dating since before my husband and I met. We have been wondering when Dan would FINALLY give this girl a ring. Out of 365 days in a year he managed to propose on the EXACT same day that Ashley's older sister, Alicia, got engaged.

The girls' dad must be freaking out.

Personally, I am looking forward to two Stracke weddings next year!

Dan loves his car. When I told him I wanted to stand on it- I think he wanted to smack me, but he let me do it anyway...after he put a towel down. : ) Thanks Dan!
