2017 Best of Wedding Photos

26 incredible couples that are madly in love and made the promise to spend the rest of their lives together. I’m the biggest sucker for a love story, and being able to photograph them every weekend makes my heart happy. At the end of a wedding day, I’m leaving tired with sore feet 99% of the time, but I leave feeling even more in love with my own Husband. What other job allows you to constantly remember what it’s all about? Every weekend I’m reminded of the importance a loving marriage has on a family.

I started the 2017 wedding season seven and a half weeks pregnant with Charlotte. I was battling morning sickness, but the adrenaline of a wedding day kept me busy enough to forget about the little alien wrecking my insides. Throughout wedding season, I found myself getting emotional at new parts of the day. Dad’s giving away daughters and the daddy-daughter dance had me weeping behind my camera more time than I can count. Even before we knew the little bean in my belly was a girl those special moments with the Dads and daughters always caught me by surprise!

Every year I say I’m going to keep track of how many photos I take from the wedding season, and every year I end up forgetting to keep track. I think it would be a fun little stat to remember the year by. One stat that is always fun to look back on is the total number of weddings I had the insane honor of photographing. 2017 marked my busiest year with 25 weddings and one vow renewal. Here are some stats from the season, though.
