Ah, 2012 (here’s 2011). What a crazy year, the one George keeps referring to as “the best in our lives.” Seems pretty premature to put that label on it, but by all accounts, it has certainly been the best year yet. I’ve got my eye on 2013, though, don’t you worry. Without too much musing, I’m going to move right on into the images. There are a lot, so go grab a cup of coffee and come back and take a walk through the last year with me. What follows are a set of images – one for each session I photographed in 2012. No personal work, no second shooting and one choice I made just now mostly through gut – not necessarily my favorite, just the one that caught my eye, just now. My 2012, in order:
Big thanks to the always amazing Kelly Prizel for having me out to second shoot Emily and Dre’s Brookside Gardens wedding… almost a year and a half ago. (There are a handful of weddings in my backlog that I’m finally getting to – a handful more and we’ll be into the latter half of 2012 – yay!) I just love Brookside. It’s an absolutely stunning place, close enough to DC to catch all the happy out-of-towner excitement to be in the nation’s capital, but far enough away from the city to really feel like you are in a beautiful garden oasis (maybe because you actually are). And then you throw in Emily and Dre being all adorable and thrilled to be getting married… it’s a pretty great combination.
Liz and Dave got married under an absolutely beautiful (and big) fall sky with their closest family and friends last week. You couldn’t have asked for a better day out of late November. Or a more cheerful, laid-back couple.
Gotta love a bride who takes a tequila shot before she walks down the aisle!
