My inquiry call with Haley was another one of those calls that still stands out in my mind. As she told me the story about her and Alex (how they met, his proposal) I was getting one of those "they HAVE to pick me" kind of feelings. Like they HAD to. I just knew it was meant to be! (And PS if you are a current client and you've had one of these calls with me, you KNOW if I'm excited because my filter comes off and I just want to give you all of the help and wedding advice that I would give to my own bff. lol)
*So spoiler alert - they hired me* Yay!
On their big day, as I unpacked my cameras, Haley's mom Donna came over to me in the hallway at Silver Oaks Chateau and she was SO happy and excited to welcome me and tell me how important this video was to all of them. It was another one of those moments where I was thinking "I am so happy to be here with THIS couple, and THIS family, at THIS location, on THIS day." Meant. To. Be.
Lately I've had a LOT of inquiries that I've had to turn away because I no longer have availability on the week of their wedding. Some really great couples have gotten the dreaded "Already Booked" email reply.... BUT! What I KNOW is that the couples who I am meant to work with, will book. The PERFECT fits... they will book. I almost always tell people during our inquiry call that if you don't feel like I am THE BEST fit for you, please do not hire me. Both the couple and myself are more fulfilled at the end of the day when we both have a mutual agreement that our paths were truly meant to cross so that we could work together. Haley and Alex were one of those couples and I'm so happy to share some of the highlights from their special day!
