Best of Weddings 2019, Part One!

This is always one of my favorite journal entries. It’s such a gift to reflect on the previous year and take the time to relieve the beautiful moments I’ve had the privilege to capture. 2019 was my 12th wedding season— and truly, it never gets old. To every couple who trusted me to tell your story in 2019, thank you.

And to all of the vendors I’ve had the joy of working with over the last year, THANK YOU for your hard work to make these wedding days perfect. From the 2019 season…
