Dear JD,
This is a thank you letter that's been a long time coming. Instead of the notes I leave scattered around the house, I wanted to publicly express my appreciation for all you do. I guess I'm embarrassed to admit how much I take for granted. At the wedding last weekend a guest stared at our camera gear in disbelief. She leaned over and whispered, you don't really carry that backpack all day do you? I stared blankly at the wedding guest then whispered back, No, but HE does, pointing to you as you piled the 70-pound pack on your back.

You smiled and waved from a distance.

Then you gave me your coat because the ballroom was cold and I didn't bring a jacket.

I saw you from a distance documenting cocktail hour while making guests laugh at your charm.

I worried I didn't get a portrait shot of the bagpiper at the end of the ceremony, then you patted my hand and said you had it covered.

You grabbed the valet ticket early to have the car ready by the time our photography services commenced.

Everything you do makes me breathe easier. Your actions enable me to shine and I can't thank you enough for all your are. Thank you for being a wonderful partner, shooter, and friend.

Love,
me

Many thanks to our assistant Kendra for grabbing this photo of us together at our last wedding.
