Saturday’s wedding was so awesome! There were so many cool things about Sirena and Derek’s day that I can’t wait to blog, like their first look at a lighthouse, their BEAUTIFUL outdoor ceremony, and the most fun nautical details! Here’s a little peek to tide you over.

How did you guys end up spending your Mother’s day weekend? John and I had lunch with my parents and my sister at this pizza place across town…I had this huge calzone that was bigger than my head and as we were leaving I saw a flyer advertising free kittens, some of which were orange! In case you are thinking we got another cat yesterday, I won’t get your hopes up. We didn’t get one, though I did beg John to let me go get one for at least 30 minutes straight. He finally convinced me that right now is not the right time to add more pets to our family…we’re too busy to care for another pet. Maybe one day! I can totally see myself as a crazy cat lady with a ton of kitties running around.

Other than debating over whether or not we should add another cat to our family, we mostly just spent our Sunday relaxing. I decided a while back that during wedding season I was going to fight to protect my Sundays…meaning I was going to purposefully start not scheduling sessions or meetings the day after I had a wedding. I am really glad I did this, because although I love shooting weddings and I love my clients to death, I have discovered I really need to make sure that I have some downtime to recover and re-energize. Because our weeks are so busy and John is really only off on Sundays, Sundays are a great time to schedule this in. At first I felt bad about having to tell clients I don’t have weekend availability during my busy season, like I was letting them down or doing something wrong, but it’s been great so far, and there haven’t been any conflicts with availability yet, which is awesome. Now I just need the pool to open, so we can spend our lazy Sundays there and things will be perfect:)
