Words can’t describe the excitement I felt when I received the email from Rangefinder Magazine announcing that I had been chosen as one of the 30 Rising Stars in Wedding Photography for 2014. This is something I could have only dreamed about a few years ago when I first began shooting weddings, and is easily the biggest award I have received in my career.
I am honored to have been selected alongside so many talented photographers and friends. The lineup is stacked this year, and if you have time I suggest you head over the the full gallery and take a look.
I want to give a special thank you to my friends over at Miller’s Professional Imaging, as well as my man Eric Kelley for the nomination. And of course, a big thanks to each and every one of my clients and friends for pushing and inspiring me all these years. I couldn’t have done it without you. –GD
