Congratulations to Get Married's Lucky Winners Bethany & Geoff!!

I've been dying to tell ya'll about a special project that I did for Get Married magazine editor, Stacie Francombe, since the beginning of this week, but I couldn't disclose any information until the contest winners, Bethany and Geoff, were announced publicly. Stacie contacted me the night before and see if I can photo-document the announcement. I know I'm swamped with photo-editing and album designing, but I can't pass the opportunity to help put Jacksonville and this couple on the map ;) Now that it's official, and be sure to check out Get Married's website and blog for the couple's video love story and surprise announcement made outside of their apartment home.

If you don't believe how big this story is, check out the links below. The news was even reported in San Diego, California. YAY!! Oooh..it's also really cool to see the pictures I took of them splashed everywhere online.. from Facebook to online media outlets! Every time I see the blue "I Heart NY" t-shirts, I just smile because thanks to Bobby, we were able to use those shirts for the lovely couple's shoot :) Let's just say, NYC and Bobby rock! :)

Remembering 9/11

I can still remember that one horrid morning when I first heard of the attack... I was working in the computer area at my college library when one student shouted out that the World Trade Center has been hit by a plane. Remembering his voice of concern and shock still gives me goosebumps to this day :( My mom also worked at the library and she and her co-workers all changed the TV channels to CNN. I just remembered being dizzy, and I really thought the second coming of Jesus Christ is coming then (don't judge!) ;-)

Today, I want to take a moment of silence to remember all the innocent lives that were lost on that day, NYPD, NYFD, and all the brave souls that all came together to help each other out on that day. My heart goes out to the pets also that waited and waited for their masters to come home but never came :(

God bless, America and our Armed Forces (active and vets) that protect and fight for our freedom daily!!

Below are a several shots of the Ground Zero that Bobby and I took from our trip to NYC last month. We enjoyed a 3-day mini vacation after photo-shooting Angelique & Gerry's beautiful wedding in NYC :)

WE WILL NEVER FORGET
