I went through all my work from last year & I for real chose my favorites. It was completely instinctual. I tried to stop from thinking about my audience. I purely chose what I loved, not what I thought others would love. And you know what I found?

Lots of smiles. Lots of dancing. Lots of sweet moments & a few hilarious ones. And last but certainly not least, lots of love.

You know what I didn’t find? Cakes, bouquets, shoes, and other details. I didn’t choose one photo without a person in it. That was totally unintentional, but I think it’s pretty telling. People are the most important thing about my work.

2011 was a doozy. I’d like to thank every one of you for making this year possible. Thank you. It was my first full year as a wedding photographer & to say it was awesome would be an understatement. 2010 was the year I fell in love with wedding photography, but 2011 is the year I came into my own. I can’t wait to see what 2012 brings.

I’ve already got so much lined up that I’m excited about. 2012 couples, get ready. Your wedding will be here before you know it.

Again, thank you thank you thank you. Here’s to a great 2012 for everyone!
