I had the privilege of assisting Joe Buissink on a wedding this weekend in Atlanta and I was awed by his humility and gentleness. Joe’s incredible rapport with people is inspiring, and his beautiful photographs reflect a sincere love for his subjects and a willingness to seek out beauty in quiet, subtle moments.

Joe, here’s a quote for you, from someone whose work we both admire. Thank you for reminding me to be patient with myself and with the moment. Your encouragement and support are invaluable.

"The camera is an instrument that teaches people how to see without a camera."

— Dorothea Lange

Dear Andrew and Rachel,

For the past three years the four of us have spent nearly every day together, building a business and building a friendship. We have seen each other at our best and at our worst. Through it all, the two of you have remained a constant source of strength and happiness to us.

Right now you are in North Carolina celebrating your sixth wedding anniversary, while we are just starting out on our first year of marriage. While most people do not consider six years a milestone, in this day and age, the two of us believe it is. We have watched you continue to grow as husband and wife over the years. It takes a strong, special couple to triumph over the obstacles thrown in your path. But you have done it with humility and grace.

You are an inspiration to us, and we raise a glass to you today in congratulations and love. We are able to enter this new world of marriage with optimism because of you. We can't wait to see what the next six years will bring you. You deserve every happiness that comes your way.

With love,

We are in North Carolina this weekend for a beautiful, outdoor wedding. Yesterday was a clear, crisp Fall day, much like our own wedding day six years ago! It was incredibly meaningful for us to photograph a wedding on our own anniversary, just 30 minutes from where we were married in the Blue Ridge Mountains on September 30, 2000. Thank you to Michelle and David, and their families, for sharing the occasion with us. With characteristic Southern hospitality, they greeted us on Saturday morning with an anniversary gift basket, complete with a wonderful bottle of wine.

North Carolina holds many special memories for us, as Andrew's grandparents built a home in the Blue Ridge Mountains and retired here. I couldn't resist posting a favorite quote from North Carolina native son (and esteemed journalist), Charles Kuralt:

"In the South, the breeze blows softer...neighbors are friendlier, nosier and more talkative...this is a different place. Our way of thinking is different, as are our ways of seeing, laughing, singing, eating, meeting and parting. Our walk is different, as the old song goes, our talk and our names. Nothing about us is quite the same as in the country to the north and west. What we carry in our memories is different too, and that may explain everything else."
