As every year comes to a close, I love taking a look back at the weddings I photographed and picking out a few favorite photographs. Different images become a favorite of mine for many reasons. Sometimes the light is what speaks to me. It could also be the pop of color that draws me in. It could be a new location I’ve never photographed in that speaks to me when I look at the photo. Often, it is a photograph that was really challenging to take technically because of the location or time of day. Whatever the reason, here are a handful of my favorite photographs from the weddings I’ve photographed this year.
