I recently received a 2012 Bride’s Choice award from Wedding Wire. What this means is that I ranked in the top 5% of vendors on the site for quality, quantity, recency, and consistency of reviews. I’m really honored to have ranked so well locally and I’d like to thank all my past and future brides for their amazing reviews. Here’s to a successful 2012 and many more excellent reviews!

Best Of From The Best Year Ever

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!

Jules & Dan: Engagement

Jules and Dan flew in from Chicago and we did my last engagement session of the year at Spanish Point in Sarasota, Florida. Having never been to Spanish Point before, I wasn’t sure what to expect, but we had an awesome time wandering around and found photo gold when we came across a little boathouse on the property. It was a great close to an excellent year. Next up: Best Of 2011.

Fatim + Eric, Washington DC, Day 3 – Portraits

Our final day was spent wandering through downtown Washington DC and making portraits where we found them. We ended in the metro system before grabbing breakfast at Eric’s favorite local diner. It was a relaxing end to an awesome three day wedding.
