About the move

A little more about our move...

My last post was a quickie to let you all know we are still operating and basically what happened with us. BUT, I realize you're probably wondering why.

If you've read our bio information or know our history, Brian actually went to seminary and is an ordained minister. Of course, this plays into our passion for weddings and in creating the highest quality representation of a couple's wedding day that we can - we really believe it can be a tool for marriage enrichment (or even a life line!) down the road. Anyway, our life's journey since we got married has developed the unique skills that have lead to the conception and success of Archway. However, Brian has wanted to use his abilities in a church and ministerial setting for years now. He has checked on jobs now and then, but nothing seemed to be attractive enough to spend time pursuing it - plus the potential of moving me away from my mom and son! So, of course, we stick to the task at hand, pouring everything we had into Archway! Then, the perfect job popped up during one of his casual searches. Sooooo, our reason for moving is so that Brian could step into his dream job...yeah, seems worth it to me. :)

He is a new man! Yes, we are still operating Archway Media and also JuneBug, but now he has a steady full time job with benefits, and about 1000 pounds of stress has been lifted from him. He loved doing Archway full time, but the stress of running our own business and going through a DRY off-peak season every year was wearing on us - especially him. Now we're able to breathe a little bit during this off-peak season, continue editing, and not spend every waking moment fretting about how we're going to generate business during the off season and for the next year. Now that Archway doesn't have to provide full-time income for both of us and 100% of our family's support, we can focus on editing and enjoy the fruits of the word-of-mouth and reputation we've worked so hard to build. We have weddings booked here and there through October of next year and want to keep filling more dates! I love making wedding films...I love being involved in the wedding industry...I love our favorite vendors...I cannot let go. ;)
