– AMAZING LIFE ESCAPE FAQ –

What in the world inspired you guys to host this?
We are two people who are crazy in love. Seriously in love. Through our experience as wedding photographers, we have recognized a lot about our love! We have realized that the love we share and the love that our couples share is something crazy special! It is something that we often take for granted and very rarely take the time to acknowledge, let alone celebrate! During engagement sessions, we have cherished the opportunity to give our couples an opportunity to escape the everyday craziness of life. (The decisions to be made… even just what to have for dinner, the daily routine of appointments and work activities that are always pulling you in a different direction!) We have recognized that that time… usually just 2 hours for an engagement session is time that we all rarely take to just LOVE on each other!

During 2012, we had this dream of creating an experience where any couple could escape the everyday craziness of life and take some time to celebrate the AMAZINGNESS that surrounds them. We dreamed of a getaway surrounded by new and old friends alike who were excited to invest in their relationship and share an experience that could change their lives! Whether friends coming into the Escape together or becoming friends during the Escape, we are excited to see a community form of AMAZING people who are excited to celebrate this special love and AMAZING life we share.

This is a dream for us and we couldn’t be more excited to share this dream with you!

My marriage isn’t in trouble, why should I attend?
Ohh man. This question really fires us up! Lol. (In the best way possible, of course!) We so often look around and think… I don’t need that. Or, my marriage is pretty good… I don’t need to focus on it. Life is pretty AMAZING, friends! We are the first ones to say that! But the reality is, we could all use a chance to get away and soak that AMAZINGNESS in!

The AMAZING Life Escape is meant to be for any and every couple, who are crazy in love, and recognize that spending some extra time together away from those other “things” in life is so incredibly important! As with date nights and intentional moments we take to just soak this AMAZING life in, we often don’t recognize the power of those moments until afterwards! It is our hope that we can help people recognize that making time for yourselves and relationship is so incredibly IMPORTANT! Yes, this is a crazy fun AMAZINGly beautiful escape that almost feels like a dream (well, it does feel like a dream), but the reality is that we hope it will be a life changing opportunity for people to experience the AMAZING love that is right by their side ALWAYS!… but sometimes it is just disguised under all of the other “things” in life. We all need that AMAZING reminder sometimes!

I am not married, can I still come?
Currently our Escapes are designed for couples! Married or not, it doesn’t matter to us. We just want you to be crazy in love! ;) Our hope is that you will be in a serious relationship so that when you go back home, you will be able to celebrate that special love daily!

Are you marriage counselors?
NO! No, we are definitely not marriage counselors! If your marriage is in trouble or you need some additional support, please contact a professional. We absolutely want to see couples work through their hard times. However, we are not trained professionals to help you through that!

We are AMAZING Life Inspirers. We want to encourage couples to celebrate the AMAZINGNESS that surrounds them. This life is pretty AMAZING, but the AMAZINGNESS is often blurred by the everyday activities we all find ourselves buried under. It is our goal to bring that AMAZINGNESS back to the forefront and make that an everyday priority to be celebrated!

Is this a business expense?
To be honest, we never thought about this until now! AND we are not accountants, so we probably shouldn’t be answering this question. Depending on your profession, we could see how this could potentially be a business expense. However, please contact your accountant to discuss!

We see this as an investment in your relationship more than anything, and we hope you will too! We have recently recognized that we are so quick to jump on a business workshop opportunity or purchase the next new and improved piece of technology, but somehow it is so difficult for us to spend money on ourselves and on our relationships! We find ourselves having to justify any personal expenses we make! As Kid President would say, “This is our LIFE people… “ We hope you will recognize along with us that this as an opportunity to invest in an experience that is potentially life changing! No justification needed.
