Happy Confetti Photography

I didn’t want to write up a whole bunch of New Years resolutions this year but rather have a list of postive reinforcement messages to just help me keep a good balance and happiness in life. When I came accross the manifesto on Holstees‘ site I was hooked! It’s so perfect…as is the company….’Kickass products, sustainably made, with a social impact’. I thought i would share it on here incase you needed some positive reminders in your 2011 too!

I just wanted to say thank you again to everyone for making this year such an amazing one for me! I feel so blessed! I’m so stupidly excited for all the adventures 2011 holds!! Everyone have an amazing New Years!

So, I have been putting off writing this blog post for a while now. Mainly because I feel like no words can adequately describe what an incredible year it has been for me. Gosh, so amazing!

I feel fortunate to have photographed such gorgeous weddings and meet so many lovely people this year….to be flown to Europe to for an amazing wedding weekend….and to have my work featured on so many inspirational wedding blogs….it’s truly been a fantastic year! Its not that I don’t believe in my talent as a photographer….rather more I am surprised everyone loves my work THAT much!

On that note I want to say a big THANK YOU for the support and encouragement I have received from some of the best wedding bloggers in the industry. I am grateful for the following leading wedding industry blogs for choosing me as a preferred vendor and featuring my work: Style Me Pretty – the ultimate wedding blog. Ruffled blog – full of vintagey goodness! Snippet & Ink – its like Redbull for your eyeballs. Green Wedding Shoes – red shoe wearers also allowed. 100 Layer Cake – revamped and ridiculously amazing. Brooklyn Bride – inspiration that isn’t just for NYC. Polkadot Bride – so cool it makes me want to go back home nearly ever other week. Beyond Beyond – the niceness that is Amma brings us the amazingness of the wedding world.  Forget Me Knot – helpful steps to tying the knot. Hi-Fi – musical funkiness mixed with gorgeous weddings. The Lovliest Day – a cross between Ruffled and Rock-n-roll bride.  Wedding Obsession – providing inspiration to modern Canadian brides. Whimsical Wonderland – English inspiration at it’s best.

What makes it all the more amazing is….I love what I do. I really do love wedding days. I get to photograph such sweet  people that are dressed beautifully and  super happy….on one of the most special days of their life. That never gets old for me. I don’t want to sound cheesy here, but it truly is such an privileged to be able to share and document these  memories in peoples lives. So, to the beautiful people who let me share their special day in 2010…THANK-YOU!

2011 is shaping up to be an even more amazing year…if that’s possible. So far it looks like I have two international weddings as well as a whole bunch nationally in Alaska, California, New York and Colorado….not to mention four confirmed magazine features!

I love the life I live!!

Every year the highly respected wedding blog Junebug Weddings features 50 of  the most breathtakingly beautiful, emotionally touching, technically masterful, downright hilarious, outrageously innovative, and ridiculously AWESOME wedding photos of the year. The photos of some amazing photographers I admire are amongst the ‘winnners’.

This year I decided to submit some photos for consideration. I know I am up against some stiff competition so will be beyond surprised if I get featured….but you never know. Fingers crossed!

Anyways, here are the photos I submitted.
