When I think of my “office” I don’t think of a place. I think of her. Because our marriage is my most important project and the thing I’m proudest of in this world. Since we were high school sweethearts, our goal’s been the same: to maximize the amount of time we spend together on this […]

Dear Amy, It’s Wednesday night and I’m sitting in the living room on our gray tufted couch. The cats are curled up on the navy ottoman, asleep at my feet. It’s quiet. Except the humming of our white refrigerator and the clicks of your keyboard and mine. Red and blue Anthropologie candles are burning (our favorites) and dinner is in […]

Dear Amy, It’s been six years since that sunny June day. 2,190 days since you put on a white dress. 52,560 hours since I wore an oversized rental tux. 3,153,600 minutes since we stood up in front of our family and friends and said “I do.” But it’s really like we’ve been married longer than […]

In our first few years of marriage, Amy spent a lot of evenings at home by herself while Jordan coached at the soccer fields to help give back to a game that had given him so much, and also earn a little extra money for our camera gear fund. Amy held down the fort, took […]

Dear Amy, It’s 2:20 a.m. The lights are out in our hotel room and I can’t sleep. I’m sure you’re not surprised. We’re on the eve of one of the biggest milestone moments of our career, speaking at one of the most prestigious conferences for wedding photographers anywhere. We’re also nestled into the crisp white sheets. […]

If you’ve been following The Pink Slip Files for a while, you know we love to share pink slips that we wrote each other years ago. And sometimes, we like to share the memories we’re making right now. The newest slip in our jar, fresh from last night, reads, “I’ll never forget that night you killed someone […]

Jordan, I still remember being seventeen, sitting on the passenger side of your jeep and hearing you sing along to the radio for the first time. It was not quite in any key, and I started to smile. I’ll never forget thinking, “Phew, he’s not completely perfect.” You’re just so good at so many things, but singing has […]

It’s the weekend of November 15, which means it’s been exactly 10 years since our very first kiss. Amy was seventeen and it was at the end of our second official date on her parents’ driveway. Our first date was four days earlier on Jordan’s 18th birthday. Amy bought him apple pie a la mode at… wait […]

Jordan, We’ve always been different, you and me. I was the quiet girl. The shy one. But you were the one that got asked to host a school-wide talent show. As a first grader. You were the kid who’d wander away from your mom in department stores or play “bellhop” in hotel elevators, and when […]
