Anytime I have a bunch of editing to do, I try to visit a local coffee shop to help get the job done. I enjoy editing, probably more than the normal photographer, but it can get monotonous. And if I do it from home, all by myself, where I can get bored and lonely, the enjoyment level decreases. I’m a people person and enjoy being out and about among people. Hanging in the coffee shop to edit also allows me to do that. 🙂

My go-to coffee shop is definitely Trader’s Coffee House at Deep Creek Lake. The friendly, cozy atmosphere always makes me happy and the coffee and food are delicious! (I recommend a “fancy” hot chocolate and muffin if you visit. 🙂 ) I also don’t ever feel too badly about sitting for a few hours at a time. I usually find a friend or two to talk with and the unofficial “resident writer” can often be found spending just as much time. It’s such a great gathering place!

So today I’m editing Billi and Mike’s elopement at Savage River Lodge. I shot my first elopement a year ago yesterday and I’ve been having fun ever since! Elopements are so cool and refreshing and unique, and I’m so excited to be in an area that has them often. Yay weddings, and yay elopements! 🙂
