The Quiet Side of the Story

Welcome to the quiet side of the story - It’s a little different here:

The quiet side of the story focuses on A LITTLE SERIES THAT I HOPE BECOMES A SOFT PLACE TO LAND, IT’S A LITTLE DIFFERENT, WITH LITTLE SARCASM AND MORE DEPTH.

A LOOK ON THE INSIDE OF WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY, THE REAL REAL BEHIND THE SCENES IF YOU LIKE. A SPACE FOR THE QUIETER STORIES THAT OFTEN GO UNTOLD. AND I FIGURED HERE IS AS GOOD A PLACE AS ANY TO SHARE IT.

There is no ordering to these posts, they can be read in any order you wish.

As i write this, I have no idea how long this series will be, but with 10 years of insight, change, and behind the scenes knowledge, we’ll see where it goes.
