I am speechless.
Back in June I was speechless when I received an email from the NEW YORK TIMES (!) about interviewing me for their upcoming article about Unplugged Weddings which was partially inspired by my blog post. The interview seemed to go well but I fretted until the moment it went live on the internet and in print that I would sound like a total fool in the article. Thankfully, I did not. It was positively thrilling to see my name in print (!) in such a prestigious newspaper such as the New York Times. Everyone kept asking me if I was sad they didn’t use any of my images but honestly, I never expected them to. However, I will confess that it was exciting to see my images alongside my interview in CNN later that month. The unplugged wedding thing has begun to die down and life is returning to normal. It’s still a bit surreal though!
A few weeks ago a friend sent me a link they got from the New York Times requesting instagram images of weddings. Each month has a different theme and I figured, why not? and sent in a couple images. If I have an extra moment or two, I do try to capture an instagram or two during the day just for fun and a quick preview that I can send my clients while working on their images. Timing doesn’t always allow it but it is fun when it does! One of the images I sent in was ironically from Jennifer and Dan’s wedding – yes, the infamous Unplugged Wedding – of her bouquet that I am still absolutely enamored with. I am a voracious reader (I read around 150 books per year) and Jen’s wedding theme was BOOKS. Have I mentioned how much I adored their wedding? I’m sure I have but just so you know, it’s up there in my top favorites. I thought her book bouquet of sonnets was a perfect example of a wedding ritual (flower bouquet) is evolving and apparently the New York Times agreed because they featured the image in a slideshow on their website. I still can’t decide which is more amazing – an image or my name in an article – but they both leave me speechless and a wee bit excited.
