DON’T GIVE UP is a movement among photographers to share the message to never give up on your marriage.  Divorce is so prevalent in our world today that it’s important to remember how much a couple loves each other on their wedding day.  Marriage is forever, and we want each couple we work with to remember that.  Marriage is also not perfect – there are good days and there are bad days, but we challenge everyone to “DON’T GIVE UP.”

This project was created by Jeremy and Ashley Parsons, and we attended their first DON’T GIVE UP workshop last week at a lodge near Divide, CO.  We learned so many things about people and our business, but the main emphasis was on the DONT’ GIVE UP movement.  The Parsons gave each of the attendees a DON’T GIVE UP poster to use with each of our wedding couples.  We’ll be taking a photo at each of our weddings with the bride & groom holding the sign, and whenever they have a bad day – they can look at this photo and remember their wedding day.  The Parsons created a DON’T GIVE UP blog, where our team of photographers across the nation will be adding their DON’T GIVE UP images.  Jon and I are very excited about this.

Here’s our first couple, Jarrod + Amy:

More images from the workshop and our trip to Colorado coming soon, but first stay tuned for an awesome maternity session!
