Last month the fall issue of Real Weddings was published and I’m beyond excited that one of my 2009 weddings was featured in it! Jesse & Loreli’s wedding was one of the 11 wedding stories chosen for the bi-annual publication. Their story was one of authentic passion and romance and I think it was really great they were chosen to share their personal story in the magazine.
In addition to the wedding feature, one of my engagement photos was also published-so rad! It’s a really fun shot of Marina & Rick’s e-session, which after now searching for the blog link, I just realized I didn’t get blogged! Shameful! Gotta get that baby posted asap! The yellow truck in the shot belonged to their parents, as did the fisheries boat in the background! We had a blast shooting that afternoon and I was stoked when Real Weddings chose their photo!
I can’t even really find words to say what it means to see all this in publication, but, let’s just say goosebumps were constant for the fist week or so I seen it in print.
2009 has just been so darn amazing and I feel incredibly blessed to have the fantastic clients, friends, mentors and colleagues that I do. I love my job more and more every day and feel like the luckiest guy in the world to do what I do!
