Tara, NFC Photography and Makeup Design : Awesome shots, looks like fun!
-
Melanie Watson : Thanks everyone for all the wonderful compliments. I like how the textures turned out too. They always look extra dramatic at night and really seemed to compliment the foggy atmosphere we had.
Hi Cassie... we will just have to get together another time to make up for the lack of chit chat last night. :)
Thanks Tara... it was a lot of fun. Especially getting a chance to talk to people I don't see often.
Dave & Kimi - I cannot tell you how often I sang "dong dong dong dong dong" to the tune of Sisco's Thong Song last night. In my head of course but yeah... lots of dongage. Jacksonville loves Gary Fong for sure! :) -
Brian @ DLweddings : Awesome work! And I bet mr. fong is very pleased with himself and his little dome;)
