Love · Commitment · Longevity
For us, these three words capture the essence of marriage, and also the crane. Did you know that cranes can live up to 80 years and that they mate for life? Each spring, as they begin their courtship and mating ritual, they sing to each other. What a powerful metaphor for a wedding photographer, and for us, even more so as a husband & wife team!
We have loved the majesty and symbolism of the crane for years, especially the Japanese (red-crowned) crane, or Tsuru. We collect special pieces of crane art, including paintings and the sculpture you see when you come up our driveway.
According to Japanese folk lore, cranes live for 1000 years, which gave rise to the notion of folding 1,000 paper cranes before marriage. It is said that if you have the patience to fold 1,000 origami cranes, surely you would have the patience for a successful marriage.
