My Bigger “Yes”

“You have to decide what your highest priorities are and have the courage—pleasantly, smilingly, nonapologetically, to say ‘no’ to other things. And the way you do that is by having a bigger ‘yes’ burning inside.” – Stephen R. Covey

I have learned over the years that I am absolutely terrible at saying “no” to things when I need to. But because I know that, I’ve been working hard on figuring out what my bigger “yes” is, so I’ll have solid reasons to fall back on when I have to say no.

It’s Not Too Late to Start Building Your Net

I was the first person at Gallery Espresso this morning. I had my laptop open before 8am, sipping coffee and writing love notes to my clients. And before that I was walking through downtown Savannah, soaking up every bit of this gorgeous, crisp weather. 

And y’all…I got to enjoy all of that morning loveliness for one simple reason: because I love my job so much that I actually get up early to do it. 🙌🏻

Wendy was the MOST phenomenal photographer! Finding a photographer was (for me) the hardest part of wedding planning. I researched and spoke to so many great people but my heart always led me back to Wendy. She’s one of the nicest and most adorable people you will ever meet. She made me feel like a friend during every facet of the wedding and even after. I did not find this kind of comfort with all of my vendors. For our engagement pictures, Wendy made us feel relaxed and the best part is that she didn’t mind us dragging bikes along for our pictures! She even encouraged it and made them fit perfectly into our photos because she’s just amazing! On our wedding day, Wendy was incredibly professional and dependable. In a whirlwind of a day she was ALWAYS on point and I knew that our wedding pictures were safe in her magical hands 🙂 All day long, I received many compliments on our awesome photographer. She wasn’t just friendly to us–she made all of our family members, friends and guests love her too! Wendy is always professional, which helped put my mind at ease during such a stressful time. Most importantly, Wendy was always patient (even when I’m sure it was hard). As a client, I had many questions and always felt that I could discuss every detail with her no matter how minute or insignificant it would seem. My husband and I just love her. It is very clear that this is not just a job for Wendy, but a passion. Check out any of her social media accounts or her Apt B. website and you will know what I mean. Her romantic style of shooting shows in all of her pictures and in her daily life. She does more than take beautiful photos, she incorporates meaning into them to tell a love story. If you choose Wendy you will not regret it or be disappointed. As a matter of fact, you will be thrilled with your results and love the relationship that you gain. Choose Wendy for your special day and your memories will be safe in her hands!

 

Love,

Allison

To say that planning a destination wedding can be stressful is an understatement. However, to say that Wendy made the whole process so fun and worthwhile would also be an understatement. Not being from Savannah, Ricky and I had no real prospects for photography, but we knew that photography was definitely an area we wanted to invest in due to the fact that it would provide us with the lifelong memories of our big day. With that in mind, we started looking at wedding websites, blogs, etc. for the perfect photographer.. someone who was genuine, fun-loving, and truly passionate about photography. Well, needless to say, after the first time meeting Wendy in a little booth at Panera Bread, we both knew we had found our photographer, and little did we know.. a new friend as well. Wendy is truly passionate about her work, and that is something that was Ricky and I were really looking for in a photographer. Not to discredit large corporate companies, but working with Wendy was personal and genuine. We felt extremely comfortable being ourselves around her from day one. She really cares about connecting with her clients. Wendy does such a great job at not only capturing the “traditional” shots, but also the candid, intimate moments throughout the day. Her quality of work is truly impeccable. Wendy was so great about having a vision in mind, but still allowing for our input as well. We honestly could not have asked for a better photographer, and now, not only do we have amazing pictures, but also a new friend to brunch with every time we visit Savannah!

Love,
Alex

If you are getting married in Savannah or really anywhere for that matter (Wendy travels!!!) you MUST book Apt. B Photography! I honestly don’t know where to begin because Wendy is that AMAZING! From our first conversation through email to our coffee shop get-togethers to talk ideas, she was hands down one of the nicest, friendliest, and most talented women I have ever met. My husband and I decided one day that the traditional wedding that we were planning just wasn’t our ideal wedding, so we eloped and with that our plans changed EXCEPT for Wendy! Because our decision was on a whim we decided to “redo” our wedding pictures and Apt. B surpassed all of our expectations!! We went back to the same spot we got married, in the same attire, with a new bouquet and had so much fun during our post-wedding shoot. Despite the photos being taken months apart — my husband and I both agreed that we felt that the day of our shoot was just an extension of our wedding. When I received the album I literally was in awe of every single picture that she took. Wendy is so natural behind the camera and is truly amazing at capturing the most intimate moments, from the giggles to the deep kisses. You not only see but you can feel the energy between my husband and I as you go through our wedding album. I am forever grateful that Wendy graced us with her polka dots because I will cherish these photos forever!

Love,

Kc

There are no words in the English language that fully encapsulate just how glad I am that Wendy was the photographer at our wedding. She was knowledgable, understanding and so, so helpful through the whole process. My husband and I live in San Francisco and planning a wedding on the other side of the country certainly has it’s pitfalls, especially when it comes to hiring vendors. Unless you’re able to fly back and forth, there’s a lot of blind trust involved. I approached the wedding process with a heavy dose of cynicism (particularly when it came to the photography) and Wendy put me at ease immediately – she really listens to what you want and offers constructive, positive feedback throughout. On our wedding day, she and her assistant (Daniel Eastwood) were spectacular – they kept my husband and I laughing and relaxed through the whole thing. All that and I haven’t even mentioned how beautiful our wedding photos were! She’s a truly talented photographer and an overall lovely, genuine person. My little sister told me recently that when she gets married – she has every intention on hiring Wendy for her wedding. I look forward to catching up with her then!

Love,

Jessica

From the moment I found myself scanning the Apt. B Photography Facebook page, I knew I found my dream wedding photographer. At our first meeting in a sweet little coffee shop in Savannah, I met not only a wonderful photographer, but also a friend. Wendy was extremely organized and flexible throughout the entire process, and when it came to our wedding day she was there with a smile! Any bride might have been devastated to have a torrential downpour on their big day, but not me! Our fantastic photographer captured the magical moments, both in rain and shine. I was so excited when I received our images that I immediately shared a huge file on my Facebook. Wendy’s journalistic style and amazing skills produced images that are truly breathtaking! I will always be an Apt. B Photography client and I can’t wait to find a reason to contact Wendy for another photo shoot! Thank you Apt. B Photography!

Love,

Misty

I honestly can’t imagine our wedding day without Wendy being such a huge part of it. She is one of the most sweetest, hardworking, and passionate people that I have ever had the pleasure of working with. From our rehearsal dinner to our reception it was like she became apart of our friends and family. We are so happy with all of our photos we wouldn’t have had it any other way. They always say the photographer can make or break the wedding and she went way above and beyond to make our day a perfect day!! Thank you Wendy!

Love,

Stacey

Laura + Michael are one of my favorite couples on the planet. I don’t think I’ve ever met two people more perfectly tailored for each other. They are incredibly similar and yet completely different. They challenge each other, they share common interests, and they just simply enjoy doing life together. Five years ago (!!) they trusted me to take their engagement photos, and now they are happily married and more madly in love than ever. No better reason in the world for a photo shoot than simply being madly in love. <3
