This is one of my FAVORITE blog posts all year! The Best of Weddings and Couples 2017 is here! All the laughter, all the details, all the sweet moments! And even though it takes a long time to go through all the images, I have so much fun doing it!
This year, I was able to shoot at so many of my favorite venues like Pipers at the Marott, Guthrie Meadows Bed & Breakfast, The Cardinal Room! And, of course, so many sessions took place in various downtowns, parks, historic sites, and gorgeous venues!! I was also able to do quite a bit of traveling this year! The highlight of my travels was getting to take various portraits and engagements two weeks straight in North Alabama!
But, best of all, every single one of my couples were beyond fabulous! I am blessed to be able to work with the most joyful and real couples throughout the year. Their thoughtfulness, adventure, and adoration really blew me away this year. I feel incredibly thankful to have been able to serve and to love on these couples!
I hope you enjoy this year’s recap!
