Sue and Brian May 27, 2006
I first met Sue and Brian last year when they came to Wisconsin to meet with me about photographing their wedding from their home in Seattle (Sue is from Wisconsin) . First of all, Seattle is one of my favorite cities on earth, so I think I yammered on and on to them for a good 15 minutes about how I looooooooooooooved Seattle, why would you possibly want to get married here, couldn't I just go to Seattle for their wedding? Couldn't everyone just come there? And when I meet with potential clients, I take notes. Those of you that have booked me,know this, that when I meet with you, I take notes. I scratch down info on the venue, the time line, the bridal party...stuff like that. Part of it is my superior professionalism, part of it is my advancing Alzheimers.
But when you leave......*insert evil laugh* I write the good stuff. My impressions of the couple, the vibe I got. Just stuff. Some times it's cool info on how they got engaged, what they do for a living, key things that will spark a memory for me when they call months later to book me and I've met 20 more couples since them.
This is the first time I have divulged the super secret stuff I write after the consult, but for this couple, it just seems to fit. On Sue and Brian's info sheet I wrote about them "She is an aerospace engineer and she is cute as a bug. Very laid back and really sweet. He is a train conductor and was pretty quiet, reserved, until we got on the subject of their dog, a Golden Retriever named Hannah. I'd marry a man who talked about a dog like that. "
Congratulations Sue and Brian :)
