This story really tells you about the amazing things that can
happen because the internet allows us to interact which each other
at the speed of life:
When I started my picture a day post I just wanted to share the tons
of pictures that I have created over a more than 20 year career with
the rest of the world.
Well little did I know that it would be such a hit so you can
imagine my surprise when I received a friend request on facebook
from someone with whom I couldn’t figure the connection.
Well, long story short, I asked Gwendolyn how she had found me.
Was it through Twitter, I asked, as this was the only place I could
imagine.
To my surprise she sent back an email that blew me away:
"Yes, Kirk, we met on Twitter! Now I have to add your blog as well,
then I will really be stalking you! : ) Are you really posting a
photo every day? That is so ambitious! I like that idea!"
Gwendolyn’s response really made my day because here I am half way
round the world and able to cause such a strong emotion in someone
who I’ve never met…and all for just being me!
Now just imagine what your wedding photography can be when I am
giving my undivided all to you on your Wedding Day!

Do leave me some comments. I’d really love to hear your thoughts.

Aw, Kirk, you are too sweet! The world is small and the internet is helping to make it smaller! I wish I had known about your amazing photography before I got married. My husband and I were married in Jamaica, and I would have changed the location just to have you as our photographer. One day we’ll take a vacation to St. Lucia and meet you! : )

Kirk,
Thank you so much for this post. You really touched Gwen’s heart for talking about the impact that photographers can have on each other and how they build connections.
I look forward to following your work and echo Gwen’s sentiments that I hope we get to meet you someday (preferably in beautiful St Lucia!)

[...] I was reading through the various blogs I follow when I came across the blog of my new friend, the St. Lucia Wedding Guru Kirk Elliott! I am not even sure how we got connected. It happened through Twitter, though I can’t recall [...]
