Best Wedding Photos 2016

Apologies in advance for the length of this post… but do you know how hard it is to pick your favorites when you have almost 600 photos from just one year that you love? Whoa, really hard! It took me a week to narrow it down, but there are still quite a few — so you are a trooper if you make it to the end. I really hope you do because this year was pretty incredible.

It was so much fun to photograph weddings in 7 different states as well as Puerto Rico! Traveling to each was such a blast, and I can’t wait to find out what those numbers will be next year!

Each couple blew my mind with their sweetness, appreciation, and sharing their intimate moments with me. I was surrounded by some of the most stunning scenery I’ve ever experienced, and I got to witness the most genuine of laughter. I was amazed by every subtle gesture of affection to comfort the other, every teary-eyed moment, and every adventure I got to be a part of. Thank you to each couple that welcomed me into their lives!

Here are some of the moments that made 2016 amazing…

Meeting this woman, who has definitely changed my life!

This sweet first look… 

These long and personalized vows…

The sweetest grooms, EVER! Hugs… I just love hugs! 

This fun group of guys! 

Ethan & Kelsey’s amazing (and giggly) moms! 

Prepare yourselves… tears ahead!

Ok, now for some cuteness to help us get through the day… 

I mean… come on. 

Or this intimate wedding under a tree…

Where Lorelei was sneaky with her kisses…

Or this powerful moment when Brett’s handwritten vows choked him up… 

This amazing family… I’ve never seen so much love!

Time for a quick break for the PARTY!

It was the year of double air guitars…

Air guitars on humans… 

and even air flutes! 

Ok, and we are back with some big laughs! 

The story of this wine bottle and the amazing piece Laura wrote for The Washington Post (where this photo was featured!)

The fun that was this picnic style reception! 

Or this moment of comfort…

Or this teary-eyed dad that warms my heart… 

I think we have a winner for most adorable cake cutting of the year! 

This wedding where there were just as many dogs as people…
