An Open Letter to Our Wedding Clients | Youngstown Wedding Photographers

Columbiana Ohio photographer

Dear Wedding Clients,

We say “thank you,” but we feel those words can never be enough. Thank you for trusting us. Thank you for choosing us to be the ones with you throughout the wedding planning process. Thank you for believing in our small business & in our vision for your wedding photography. Thank you for all of the laughs. Thank you for inviting us to be part of the first day of your marriage, one of the happiest days of your lives, and the beginning of your forever together. We appreciate your confidence in us.

When we started this business six years ago, we certainly didn’t realize the impact YOU would have on our lives. We love being surrounded by love on wedding days! Many of your family members & friends welcome us warmly & treat us as part of the family; we can’t thank them enough for that. We’re inspired by words from your officiants each week during wedding season to love one another more intentionally, treat one another more gently, compliment one another more often, and work harder on our marriage than on any other relationship in our lives. We often share laughs and learn even more about you than we already knew during Best Man & Maid of Honor toasts because we get to hear about your childhood or even more fun or interesting little-known details about your relationship. We get the pleasure of hanging out at a celebration, a happy time, and a day that honors a commitment to love like no other; not many people get to say that about their career.

It’s a big deal that you trust us with your wedding day memories! We don’t take our responsibility to photograph such an important day lightly. When we’re photographing wedding days, of course, we think about the bride & groom and all of those candid, loving, fun moments that they want to remember forever. But beyond that, we think about future generations- we think about the bride & groom’s kids & grandkids. We imagine people admiring these photos many decades from now & we try to keep those things in mind when preserving such profound memories. We realize how important, expensive, and cherished your wedding day is to you & we know that our responsibility as your wedding photographers is a gigantic one; we’re so honored that you chose us!

We also want to say thank you for allowing us to be home with Tenley & our next baby on the way more often than we would be in a 9:00-5:00 job. The blessing of freedom in entrepreneurship is not lost on us! We realize that it wouldn’t be possible without YOU & we’re very grateful for our clients each & every day. We often thank God for you in our prayers. You’re supporting this little family & the love under our roof by supporting our small business.

We know we’ve said it before & we’ll definitely say it again. . . but we also know we can’t say it enough. Thank you!

Love,

Josh, Danielle, Tenley, Mini Menning #2, Norris, & Punky
