I have already discussed this with most of you, but I feel compelled to make a blog post for anyone who hasn’t yet heard the news.  (No, I’m not getting married.) In a few months I’m moving back to Denver.  I’ll be finishing out the wedding season here in St. Louis through the end of October, and then I’m packing my stuff and heading back to Colorado at the start of November.

Why, you ask?  There are many reasons for my decision (my family and friends, the mountains, and the quality of life, to name a few) but mostly Colorado feels like home and I miss it.  I’ve loved the last three years I’ve spent in St. Louis, but it’s time to go back.

I’ll still be doing photography, just in another state (although there are more changes in store for Six Eighty Three…but more on that later.)  If you already have me scheduled to photograph your wedding, you can expect that this will effect you very little if at all – technology is a wonderful thing.  As for 2010, I am not accepting any more weddings in St. Louis.

If you have any questions or concerns, I’m happy to speak with you.  Otherwise stay tuned for more announcements about exciting changes for my business!

This is the last installment of images (I think.)  It’s funny how few images I took in Helsinki.  I think partially I was a little burned out of taking photos, and partially I just didn’t care that much for Helsinki.  It’s a smaller city, and doesn’t have quite the same appeal that the others did.

One thing I did love was how many farmers’ markets we saw there.  I am a sucker for a good produce stand.  The other shots are just a few churches.  There was a beautiful small park in the center of town, but I didn’t think to take photos of it, so this is all I have of Helsinki.  Sorry Finland!

Part three – Stockholm, Sweden.  Yes, Swedish people are as beautiful as everyone says.  (That has been the number one question I’ve had to answer since I got back!)  Turns out the city is nice, too.

The photo of the ice glasses is from the Absolut Ice Bar we went to, where everything is made of ice – glasses, tables, bar, etc.  They give you a parka and gloves to wear before you go in, so you look extra ridiculous.  It’s a total tourist trap, but kinda fun for novelty sake.  The final shot is my favorite from the Pride Parade.  Apparently it was Pride Week in all of Scandinavia while we were there, and we stopped to watch the parade in Stockholm.  Very entertaining :)

Helsinki photos to follow!
