I'm Still Here โ And I Owe You an Honest Update
To all my couples, I want to take a moment to speak from the heart.
Over the last number of months, I've fallen behind on some of my gallery deliveries. Some of you have been waiting longer than promised, and I can only imagine the frustration and disappointment this has caused. I take full responsibility โ and Iโm deeply sorry.
The truth is, Iโve been walking through an incredibly difficult season โ physically, emotionally, and mentally. In 2023, I suffered two strokes and, in December of that year, I was diagnosed with a very rare form of blood cancer. I thought I could power through, but the weight of trying to keep life, a family and business going caught up with me. Thatโs not an excuse โ just the reality behind the silence.
Unfortunately, the combination of the effects of the cancer, along with the hideous side effects of the medication and chemo I've been on has meant that my mental capacity to cope with the backlog of galleries, and often even the simplest admin task, has been completely depleted. Daily brain fog, confusion, memory loss, depression, anxiety and other severe mood changes have been commonplace during the past 18 months or so.
Thankfully, having recently been taking off chemo, along with my body putting up a good fight against the cancer, I am starting to feel better, I have more energy, and a lot of the mental side effects have started to subside to the point of me feeling like my old self again.
With that being said, I have still let my couples down. That breaks me. Because I know your memories matter. Your weddings, your moments, your trust โ they deserve the very best. And I will make it right.
Hereโs what Iโm doing now:
- Iโve created a new workflow to deliver remaining galleries as quickly and beautifully as possible.
- Iโm personally messaging every client whoโs been affected to communicate timelines and options.
- Iโm asking for grace as I do everything in my power to rebuild trust and finish strong.
If youโre one of the couples still waiting, please DM or email me directly โ I will prioritize you.
Thank you to those whoโve stood by me. Thank you for the kindness, the prayers, and even the tough love. This has been the hardest chapter of my life, but Iโm still here โ and Iโm not giving up.
With humility and hope,
Tyron
