10 years.
10 years.
3,650 days.
87,600 hours.
5,256,000 minutes.
You get the point. It’s a long time.
10 years since I began Kate Marie Photography.
Even longer since I started my journey as a professional Colorado wedding photographer.
10 years. It’s a long time.

If my business were a person, she’d be entering her awkward, sassy, pre-teen phase.
“Cooties” would be disappearing and pimples would be taking their place. She would probably have a Bieber poster or two on her bedroom wall. Yikes. Bieber.
10 years. It’s a long time.

10 years ago, my sister and I sat at Macaroni Grill with our big plates of chicken parmesan and lasagna and talked about my new adventure. I needed a business name. We doodled on the white butcher paper tablecloth with Crayola crayons (in true Macaroni Grill style, of course) and my sister wrote out, “Kate Marie Photography.” I can still picture her handwriting on the table in waxy blue crayon.
It was perfect. It was simple. It was me. And this business is me.

Kate Marie Photography is sentimental.
It’s spontaneous.
It’s spunky.
It’s spirited.
It’s romantic.
It’s bold.
It’s me.

And I want to celebrate the big 1-0.
I want to celebrate big.
Like confetti-at-the-end-of-the-Super Bowl-big.
Because 10 years as a small business is a big deal.
So, let’s celebrate.
Big.
10 years big.

Because, you know, 10 years….it’s a long time.

To celebrate, I’m going to do something I never do.

 I’m spreading the love, people. Lots and lots of it. I’ve had ten years of love from my fantastic couples, and I’m putting some love out there for more couples. This is the biggest discount I’ve given in the entire 10 years!

*Here are the deets:
– 10% off any wedding package booked. 2016, 2017, heck even 2018 – all eligible.
– In order to get the 10% off, you must book by June 30, 2016.
– Not to be combined with a referral promo.
That’s it. Simple as pie.

So if you’re engaged, and curious about more, contact me.
We can meet up and chat over coffee or wine. (Who doesn’t like free coffee or wine?) 
If you know someone who is engaged, pass this along.
