The Wonderful Wedding Show is on at full throttle!  There seemed to have been more people there this year than any other year prior!  Maybe that's just from where my booth was, but maybe the nice weather brought everyone out!

When we were moving in, with boxes and boxes of parafernalia, my friend Yoko said: "Man, I feel like a carnie".  And it's just like that! You move in one day, play for three and then you move out...  and it's like you weren't even there...  

But I was!  And here is the booth to prove it!  Colin, I know you're reading, so here it is, for you!  Thank you for lending me your gorgeous wife, Lisa for the weekend.  She was amazing and it's so good to have clients-turned-friends with me there, because they can tell everyone what the experience is like when they hire me for their wedding.

Oh, here's the booth.  Yoko drew it with chalk.  Of course!  The woman is genius!  Thank you also to Pauline Boldt, who also drew on the panels.  You are all talented,  and you saved me a lot of work this weekend.

This booth was just one in a series of many booths that Yoko designed as a part of the Green Street - eco friendly business of ecoLuxe .  Stay tuned for many more designs to come...

I also had the privilege of photography my good friends, Joel Ross, Trevor Brucki and Manuel Sousa standing by their banner at the Kiss for the Cure booth.   Last month, the trio called me and asked me to photograph them for an incredible cause (to raise money for breast cancer research).  They are giving away a $20,000 wedding package including all three of them photographing together and much more!  All you have to do is enter to win!  And the $5.00 ticket helps too!

The theme of the photoshoot was Il Divo'esque and we had a hoot!  The guys were hilarious and were bossing me around to no end and kept wanting to look in the back of my camera!  Il Divas is what I called them!

Here's the card and the final image that made the cut:

The guys printed a huge banner of this card and today I snapped a quick shot of them in front of their banner:

 I just love how tall Manny is on the banner!!!  To find out more about this endeavor, please check out the Il Foto website.

These guys have been my friends for a long time and now we're together on The W List.

What I love the  most about them and the other photographers on The W List is their willingness to give of their time to help other photographers become better at what they do and improve their business practices.

I'm really excited about all that is to come.  If you're a photographer and want to connect, learn and grow, please check out our blog and contact us!  

If you're a bride, please come see me at the Wedding Show at booth #725!  The one with the purple shag rug!
