ten ten ten was a huge day for us…i was off photographing one wedding, Dustin was at another wedding (this one!) filming, and then we re-joined later that night and i got to snap a few pictures as a guest to cap off my night (the beautiful Scarlett Lillian photographed her wedding with the always amazing Kerri McConnell as a second shooter.). Esther’s wedding was beyond amazing- as was expected- she’s a wedding and portrait photographer herself! the venue was beautiful, and the details… OH the details! assortments of jars full of lemons and wildflowers on the tables, collections of different funky frames hung on the outdoor wall to create an outdoor living room with lounge furniture, bare bulb lights strung across the outdoor terrace reception site illuminated the nighttime with a romantic glow, beautiful little vintage style bird cages adorning them. the vintage car they pulled up to the ceremony in, the banyon trees with their ever growing root system standing like the figurative guardians on either side of them supporting them at their wedding ceremony and shading and protecting over them as they said their vows.

but…. there is more exciting news. ok, so i wasn’t going to really say anything on here yet… but i can’t quite help myself. Remember that thing we were going to participate in? the One Day On Earth project? well…. we did.  so did over FIFTEEN THOUSAND PEOPLE from all over the world. literally… every.single.country in the world.  it has gotten so much press, it’s been on NPR, CNN, New York Times, MTV, you name it.  What is One Day on Earth? check this out:

this project has blown up all over the world, and has generated a lot of talk.  Dustin and I thought it was a great thing to participate in, and so just thought it would be fun to upload the video and just leave it at that. well… they are making a feature film from bits of clips that have been uploaded from the thousands of people across the entire world. and… turns out they liked what they saw. I’ve been debating on whether or not to mention this on the blog, but really, i sometimes just can’t keep excitingly good things in! At first, i thought i’d be embarrassed to tell you if we didn’t end up making the final cut, but really, i just lay it all out there on the line anyway here and figured you wouldnt hold it against us if we weren’t infact in the final film. Honestly, i’m just honored that they would have watched our film and said that they felt it stood out from the thousands they received and would love the raw unedited footage to use. So. please keep your fingers crossed. an independent film? an independent film festival? our footage? a premiere? to be a part of something like this- something worldwide-a piece of documentation to tell the story of our entire Earth- it seems too surreal and unimaginable.

So there you have it.  i will keep you all updated on the status, but you must promise not to judge us too harshly if we dont in fact end up being in the final feature film. maybe be a shoulder to cry on HA!

ok, my goodness… i have so many more posts to make this week! i know it’s supposed to be christmas break or something, but i just can’t help myself! maybe i’ll even share a little of what has been going on over at our house for christmas hope you all had a WONDERFUL christmas day, and now it is off to beddy-bye for me night night!
