Best of 2011: part I || dallas, tx engagement & wedding photographer

Tuesday, January 31, 2012

I'm just a little behind the curve with this, I know.  I kept promising myself that I'd have it up by the end of January, so here I am in typical wait until the last second Jessica fashion, posting it on the 31st of January :)  But I've been putting off the overwhelming task of sorting through all the pictures I took over the past year and narrowing them down to a few favorites for good reason.  I had the honor and great privilege (Seriously--I'm not just saying that!) of working with some of the greatest people in 2011.  I traveled to old favorite places and to new places that are now on the favorites list.  I shot some of the happiest beautiful couples/families/individuals over the last 12 months and it. was. torture. to have to narrow them down to just a few (58 to be exact. ha.) to highlight here.

As I was combing through all of last years pictures yesterday trying to make SURE that I hadn't left anything out or forgotten something, I got all weepy/nostalgic remembering all the lovely happenings that last year included.  My first international wedding.  First wedding in the pouring snow.  6 internships + 13 interns. Family vacation and first trip with The Boy.  Good friends getting married and having babies.  Beautiful sunsets, Niagra Falls, the Rocky Mountains, and foggy Lake Michigan.

I was determined to post ALL of my favorites at once, but when I realized there was no way to do that without posting over 100 pictures in one post, I decided to break it down into two.  Today I'm posting all of my professional work, but check back tomorrow for part II--which will include all my random favorites from the year.

Last year was over the top wonderful, and YOU my clients-turned-friends are the ones who helped make it that way.  Thank you for trusting and allowing me to capture some of the sweetest moments of your life.  Thank you thank you!  Love you all! :)

Much Love.
