And I just had to share.

I got an email from someone very, very well known in the photography community yesterday saying they loved my work. They're working on a project and wanted some stuff, yadda, yadda, yadda. The short list of people they emailed included Dennis Reggie, Joe Bussnik, Hanson Fong, among others. Just to be on the same list with these people (about 12 in all!) made me literally put down my laptop and do a little happy dance. (Right in the middle of the library - no kidding!) These guys are some of the best of the best in the photography industry, great human beings, and just to be included in the same category as these people is absolutely amazing - especially when it comes from someone who is well respected in the photographic community. (I'm not trying to be secretive, but I want to let this project pan out on their side before releasing any more information. To say the least, I'm honored!)

Today, I got an email from my potential bride in NY, and I'm going to be doing their wedding at the Stamford Yacht Club in Stamford, CT. (Freaking sweet location, they're sailing into the reception on a 32 foot sailboat). Great couple, they met me at another wedding, and we've been communicating for a few months, and I'm really looking forward to working with them.

To top it all off, her sister is getting married at Ashford Castle in Galaway, Ireland. (Pierce Bronson got married there - http://www.ashford.ie/index.php ) It's not for certain, but there's a good chance I'll be shooting that wedding too. (It's all very early, so it's not complete, but it's such an opportunity that I had to share it.)

(doin' the super freaking happy dance!!!!!!!)

I have tons to be thankful for today, and I'm just so excited I had to share.

WOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

I don't even know what to say I'm so excited. Seriously.

I hope everyone is having as good of a day as I am!!!!!!
