I was pleasantly surprised when Bridgette (our ever dependable secretary) that we were nearing capacity for next year - 2010 (with 100+ bookings).    It’s the first time it’s ever happened, us having to close the calendar the year before and I’m eternally grateful to our couples who have placed their trust and faith in our craft, art and vision.

And so we open 2011.  Brides books so far in advance that we might as well open it up.  However, we’ll be taking in far less for 2011. I’m gonna work my ass of next year and try to take it easy the year after.

I’m hoping to travel more, without shooting so I can ingest more, live slower and appreciate places better.  I hope to work out me and Oleg Kalyan’s plan for a workshop in Moscow next year.  And then I hope 2011 will be the year I get to Brazil for the wedding filmmakers there.

I’m turning 35 this December and there’s so much to go to and see.

No.  These are not the musings of a person in mid-life crisis.  I’m not that old!
