{{Thank you so much Nicole and Vance for participating in my wedding shoot in Charleston on Sunday and Thank you Heidi and Natalie for the AMAZING bouquet!}}
Here it is, my BIG announcement. HA! If you've been within 6 inches of me in the past 6 weeks or so I have told you, so it's not news to many but I will spill it anyhow!
As of 1/1/10 I will be opening another Wedding Studio in Charleston! South Carolina that is. I won't go into all of the reasons, because there really aren't a ton. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the Savannah Wedding Studio! I love how these (non-exclusive mind you) businesses came together in one location and offered their amazing services to Brides getting married in Savannah, Hilton Head and Tybee Island. We share rent, advertising, ideas, passion, laughs and from this friendships were forged that I now count as some of my best! Watching these businesses grow became such a passion for me. Anyone that knows me and has spent time with me or who has been to the studio knows that. At the ripe old age of 32 I feel like the grandmother willow of the wedding studio. Do they need photos for their website, DONE, need a new website, I got that! I don't' say these things to boast, I just freaking LOVE these people and what the studio stands for! I hope and pray they feel the same. ahh heck I know they do! ;)
So back to me and a day trip to Charleston to shoot Tatiana and Joey's engagements. I thought, oh now wouldn't it be nice to have a Charleston Wedding Studio. Well dangit, look where that got me! ;)
I know there are wedding professionals in Charleston that are working so hard to get ahead, they may be working a full or part time jonin addition to running a wedding business. They spend nights emailing brides and meeting at starbucks or wedding venues to meet with potential clients. It wasn't too long ago I was meeting all of my brides and grooms right in my den! (Remember that, Katie?) I want to find those wedding professionals! They are talented, hardworking and just as passionate as we are and it's time Charleston knew it! I want to share this AMAZING space at 91 Broad St in Charleston and open new doors for them. I was once given a sofa at a frame store (crying now) on which to meet my brides and that feeling of pride took my business to a whole new level. Now there's a fushia sofa at 91 broad (and tons of other seating) waiting on a team of dynamic professionals that have that same drive!
I am beyond corny today, aren't I? I am just so darn excited. I want to thank EVERYONE who has made this possible. Every bride, groom, vendor and friend. I especially want to thank my best friend and husband. When I called him with this INSANE idea he scared the red out of my hair and responded with, something along the lines of "that's a great idea". I won't lie to you, my ideas aren't typically "great"! Even I admit that! ;)
So there you have it, my secret little suprise that everyone knew! I hope you'll share my enthusiasm for the Charleston Wedding Studio!
