Flipping through Architectural Digest this morning and spotted this ad.
I more than love it.
It's for The Lincoln Motor Company, but I adore how it applies to me and my art.
The wedding industry is flooded with generalities (brides love this, and brides don't love that, statistically brides...) but generalities mean zero to me. I truly LOVE getting to know each and every single person, as an authentic human being. I love the perfectly imperfect stories and journeys and quirks that make us all, well, individuals.
My couples are my friends and I treat them like family; never, ever a statistic.
I would just like to say that Thomas and I met the two nicest families ever in the history of the world yesterday. Lauren and Chris, thank you for inviting us into your lives for such an amazing day filled with so much family love. We are truly honored.
Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?Thou art more lovely and more temperate: Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May, And summer's lease hath all too short a date: Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines, And often is his gold complexion dimm'd; And every fair from fair sometime declines, By chance or nature's changing course untrimm'd; But thy eternal summer shall not fade Nor lose possession of that fair thou owest; Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade, When in eternal lines to time thou growest: So long as men can breathe or eyes can see, So long lives this and this gives life to thee.
-William Shakespeare
