Welcome to my blog So this is a place I rant and rave, wear my heart on my sleeve, gush on my family, and most importantly share my art...the photo stories of wonderful couples and people I cross paths with.   Don't be afraid to bookmark it, or leave a comment.  I love hearing from everyone and anyone.  Check back frequently...I will try to keep you updated. 



 
So the year started on a bit of a sad note with bouts of family sickness and the man I love leaving...but a few things have happened
that put a smile back on my face. 

First, I found out that I had a 2 page spread in Charleston Weddings Magazine which featured the wedding of Meredith and Eric. 
BTW, This is a terrible scan.  i couldn't find a digital copy except the link above.

Second, I found out that I was named 2009 Wedding Photographer of the Year - for the South Carolina Association of Wedding Photographers. Totally unexpected, but totally honored!!! here are the winning images: http://www.scawpj.com/2009-SC-Wedding-Photos-of-the-Year-Winners.htmlBLOG.jpg
this image placed in the competition...love me some Kimberly ;)

Third, I saw that J.Majors used Emily's picture for their full page ad in
Weddings Unveiled Spring 2010. Personally I think it is lovely! This is a
scan...pick one up cause this is a wonderful issue!

Got some more good news.  I received the Bride's Choice Award for 2010 from Wedding Wire/ Martha Stewart Weddings, for Columbia.  To all that voted, Thank you!!  You can leave reviews for your wedding vendors and for 2010 brides you can find your vendors here.  This is a really great/ free resource!  I love that vendors can upload pictures and give you info about what they offer/ who they are.  You get a sense of their style before you even click to view their websites.  You can see who recommends who...etc.

OMG is right!  I got a call a few weeks ago from "the knot" and totally forgot to blog about it!!!
Now I normally use fb as my sort of diary, but that was then, this is now...you want to know about me...you don't... just don't read stuff that is categorized as personal...cause in my house, there ain't much that is "tmi" to be quite honest.  So thanks to all that voted!!  I am honored, to say the least!!
