While we really enjoy weddings and have met some wonderful couples, this line of work is not a good fit right now for us. Thanks to you great people, we grew very quickly in the wedding market, but soon found we either needed more hands or needed to scale back for the sake of our family. First, we scaled back. Now we have decided to leave wedding photography and videography, at least for now. We will still provide custom portrait photography for families, seniors, engagements and bridals. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The other part of the business, the part that actually started it as an official business years ago, is making dvd slideshows. While I love photography, creating these videos for people has a larger meaning. When I'm scanning pictures of a couple for their engagement video, I see two people grow up in front of me. That's amazing. When I show the video to their mom or sibling for the first time, I love being there to see their emotional reaction. I like that they'll show the video to a small crowd at a rehearsal dinner or even at a wedding reception with love and pride. I know they'll watch it after their son or daughter moves away and starts a new life in a far away city. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, thank you for all the support from our friends, family and clients. We look forward to helping you celebrate your next milestone.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3317152996195991378-8354732264860696617?l=storybookstl.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://storybookstl.blogspot.com/feeds/8354732264860696617/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3317152996195991378&amp;postID=8354732264860696617' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3317152996195991378/posts/default/8354732264860696617'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3317152996195991378/posts/default/8354732264860696617'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://storybookstl.blogspot.com/2009/06/hi-folks-just-wanted-to-let-you-know.html' title=''/><author><name>Storybookstl</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09374739298655632469</uri><email>lori@storybookstl.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='09299252190082657357'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3317152996195991378.post-1368835458987739490</id><published>2009-03-23T19:12:00.001-05:00</published><updated>2009-03-23T19:13:28.942-05:00</updated><title type='text'>The Blog Was Hibernating</title><content type='html'>Sorry to have disappeared from the blogging world.
