As I’ve said nearly a million times on my blog, 2011 has been nothing short of incredible. It’s been a year of massive growth, both professionally and personally. I’ve grown as person and photographers in ways that I really never expected. I found a inspiration beyond my wildest dreams. It’s a year that will, without a doubt, go down as the single most influential year in my life.
I really began to pave my way as a wedding photographer – to find my voice and my style. I became more comfortable in my own skin, which shows in my work. Each wedding and each engagement shoot showed improvement. Each one was new and fresh, I found something I really love to do and the feedback I received was beyond my furthest expectations. My business, reputation, and brand took on a life of its own that I didn’t expect to happen within the first 10 years of my career. To say the least, I’m excited about my future as a wedding photographer. It’s one of the best choice I’ve ever made. 2011 has shown me true love, personal growth, success, and overall joy.
The following images are a compilation of my favorite photos from the year. It starts off with my personal inspiration, and the deepest love of my life, Sadie. I’d never known I could love another person as much as I’ve found I could love Sadie and she’s singlehandedly responsibly for the seemingly instant jump in my skill level. She has inspired me in a way I never knew possible and for that I can never thank her enough. Moving on through the photos, you’ll see engagements and weddings that I’ve shot over the course of the year. Not everything I shot this year is present, what’s shown is the most important. I hope you love the photos as I’ve loved making them.
Happy new year and here’s to a busy 2012 that’s hopefully at least a fraction as amazing as 2011 has been!
