So, thank you Jimmy for you letting  me cry, sharing in my joy, and being patient with me because I can’t order my thoughts the way you do. Thanks for coming to weddings with me and being such a an amazing man, friend, and partner.

There are so many things I have in store for next year, some personal and some you will see on this blog and my website. I know people do resolutions and never keep them, but I have some clear goals and I intend to hustle and push to make it happen. But, the heart of my work will always be the same. I hope everyone had a great 2010, but if not, here’s to a new year that can only bring new hope and possibilities. I am so excited to see what the new year brings for some of my amazing clients from last year. I’m horrible at picking images, so here are some random shots that I love and some I even forgot I took!

So, to say I was excited to photograph this wedding is an understatement. Victoria found me through another fabulous bride (Odalys!) and on our first phone conversation it was like two giggly girls talking instead of a serious esteemed wedding photographer and a discriminating bride. I think maybe I always sound like a giggly girl on the phone. So, we do the engagement shoot and I was just blown away by these two. Joseph, the way you look at Victoria. It’s just a beautiful thing to witness. The wedding was no different. The huge smiles these two had when they saw each other at the church, it was just breathtaking. this is why I do what I do. I will say, I have been very fortunate to have had the opportunity to photograph beautiful people who are genuinely in love. What i am writing right now could really be written for any of my couples.

I love the details of the day. Just sweet little touches. Also, Victoria wore her mother’s wedding dress. When she first told me that was what she was going to do, I just about cried. What a sweet way to honor you mother on your wedding day.

So, I end my ramble with a little excerpt from their wedding program that I absolutely love and believe:

“we hope and pray, whatever your beliefs, and however strong your faith, you walk away today knowing how real love is. It does not exist for only a small few, but it is intended as a gift for all humanity. The only catch is to believe you are deserving of it, because love is what we are all created for.”

Indeed.
