Best of Jacksonville 2009: Photographer /// Scarlett Lillian Review

What a surprise! My friend Ginger sent me a text message yesterday saying "Congratulations for winning Jacksonville Bride magazine's #1 Best Photographer of 2009!"

My reaction was, "Huh? What are you taking about?"

Was there a contest? A poll? Picked by the editors? I didn't even know I was in the running for anything.

I'm in California right now, so through the wonderful world of iPhones, she sent me a picture of the page in Jacksonville Bride magazine. I couldn't believe it. Readers voted and chose me as #1. How did that happen?

So to all who voted, wow, thank you so much from the bottom of my heart! What an awesome surprise and it made my day! I've been a runner up many times in life, but never actually WON.

I was excited to see my stylish make up artist friend Paulina Perez also won Best Make Up Artist. Since I'm out of town right now, her hubby scanned over a copy for me. Thanks Skip! (Here's some cute lovey dovey photos of Skip and Paulina I took and some hot bridal shots I took of Paulina!)


Here's the Jacksonville Bride magazine cover.


I still can't believe I was named #1 wedding photographer in Jacksonville! I just want to pinch myself!
