One of my favorite days in a new year is spent flipping through thousands of photos from the previous year to pull my favorites. I get to reminisce about each couple that crossed my path, their families, their friends, their moments. It fills my heart with joy at the end of each season to reflect on all of the beauty and memories that I was honored to witness and memorialize for each family.
This is the one blog post I agonize over for weeks because it is so dang hard to narrow down. I could easily add another 200 images to this set, but I tried to keep it to the ones that elicit a feeling. Thank you to each and every person that crossed in front of my lens in 2018. Thank you for being vulnerable, for showing who you truly are, and for expressing your love. Here are my favorites…
