Yep, it’s that time of year again when it takes a little longer to get out of the

bed because you’re a year older than before. 😉 So besides having my

beautiful wife and son fix me breakfast this morning and get some gifts, I

got an email from an organization that I am a member of called ISPWP. It’s

the International Society of Professional Wedding Photographers. There are

photographers from all over the world who are members with  some

incredible talent to say the least! Each quarter they have a photo

competition between all the members and I thought I would submit a few

that I had. Since this is the first time I have ever entered anything like this, I

wasn’t expecting to much. To my surprise, I found out that I placed in the

Top 20 of my catagory, Venues and Locations. Wow! That’s so cool! I

totally wasn’t expecting that and what a nice birthday surprise to wake up

to!! I submitted a beautiful wedding that I shot at Cypress Gardens last year.

Heather and Matthew were married last November and at Cypress Gardens

they place the bride in a canoe and paddle her through the awesome cypress

trees to get out at a dock near the wedding site. It was such a fun wedding

and we got some great shots! Thanks to all my “Facebook” friends and folks

emailing me B-Day wishes! You guys are great and I love ya’ll! Here’s

another link to the site.
