Well, to answer your questions:

You’re moving?!  - Yes!

Where? – Greensboro, North Carolina!

Why? – For several reasons, but the biggest is that I have a great opportunity to help some friends in that area as well as expand my business!

When? – Currently there is no set date, but my aim is for February 2013

How? – Preferably by my car…walking would take me awhile.

Ok, ok so yes, I am moving and It’s come about rather quickly and not without some serious prayer and consideration. I can tell you that it’s been interesting trying to finish up wedding season and trying to plan a move at the same time…Can we say mental break down? uhhhg!

Here are some more answers to questions you may have:

What does this mean for your 2013 weddings? – The weddings that I have currently on the books I will be holding to. I  plan on coming back up to NY in June and staying through the majority of my wedding season.

Are you still booking in NY? – I am currently booking here in NY, but only through certain dates. If you have a wedding date from June 2013 through September 2013 I will be here in the area.

What if I’m getting married in 2014? – Do not fret! My goal is to keep a presence here in NY, that means I will need to shoot at least 3-5 weddings a year here in the CNY area. So please inquire!

What about your Lifestyle clients? – Any current clients that have scheduled shoots I will be holding to or rescheduling.

Are you still booking Lifestyle clients? – Yes, if we can arrange the shoot for the times I will be in NY then I have no problem booking.

How often do you plan on being in NY? – Other than the upcoming wedding season I have no set dates for when I will return to NY. Although ,my family and friends are in the CNY area and I plan on visiting them for most major holidays. Otherwise I will be posting both here on my website as well as on my Facebook fanpage any dates I plan on returning and will be available to shoot.

What about Travel fee’s? – Currently there will be no additional travel fee’s – although this could change

If you have any other questions about my move or how it will affect you please feel free to contact me at MabynLudke@gmail.com

Of course you know what this means right? Full on coverage of the move! I plan on at least blogging if not vlogging about my journey. You all know how much I enjoy moving…

I am so so so SO SOSOSSOSOSOSOSOSO thankful to my family, friends, NY clients, and fan base! You have been a constant encouragement and literally the loves of my life! My experiences here in NY can never be replaced and I will hold you all very near and dear to my heart! I hope to continue staying in contact with you all, even if it’s vicariously through Facebook! To say that I will miss NY can’t even begin to accurately describe how I will long to see you all, take pictures of your smiling faces, and laugh, laugh, laugh at some many wondrous things. As this chapter closes I am looking to the next one with just as much excitement as fear. There are so many new adventures to be had and I hope that you’ll all still take part in them, even if it’s just here on the blog. Thank you again for everything my friends. I love you!

I gotta tell you the resources and talent these ladies have is beyond comprehension! Kate’s eye for detail and Tara & Erica’s fantastic taste goes hand in hand together. You’d think they have the same brain! I was in awe watching everything come together so perfectly! The best part is, it’s completely doable at home! Most of the details Katie and the Deserted Attic girls had laying around their homes. The table runner? Just fabric from a store, the lanterns? Pick them up at Hobby Lobby, the delicious looking desserts? An easy DIY recipe! I hope this gives you the gumption to try something a little extra special for your holiday party this year. I know I’ve gleaned a ton from Kate and her intuitive eye for design and Tara and Erica just have exquisit pieces at your disposal. Thanks girlies for being such a blessing!
