Wedding Portraits

I just got back from a snow engagement (!!!!) and I realized it has been a LONG time since I have done a sunrise session! Hopefully I can keep the same groove with work as I did yesterday through today! I finished designing my new sample albums and cleaned out my closet! Nothing like a good spring clean during the winter time! 😉 After finishing my taxes last week, I sat down and figured out a budget for each of the categories I could spend less … one of them being clothing. Of course emptying out my closet makes me want to go shopping for a new wardrobe! Any girl would know that it’s a hard temptation to shrug off but I am going to stick with my strict budget. 🙂 I advise that everyone does this after taxes!

Today I am continuing the series, “Best of 2014” with some of my personal favorite wedding portraits! All of my 2014 couples have been a blessing in my life. I’m beyond thankful I can call this my full time job and be able to pay my bills, but they have all touched and inspired me. There have been several times throughout the year where I found myself wanting to grab Kyle for the BIGGEST hug after documenting a wedding. My bride and groom’s love is blissful, romantic and genuine. I am so confident that my couples have found their soul mates! This is something I pray for in every couple of mine, that they will work hard to make the years ahead succeed and celebrate a 20th, 30th, 50th Anniversary and hopefully more! Looking forward to see what 2015 brings for my newlyweds! xoxo
