Each New Year (or late Spring, depending on my level of motivation and whether or not I have a newborn) since 2009, I dedicate a blog post to my favourite images from the previous year. Sometimes there are 20. Sometimes there are 30. This year there were 104. So in an effort to not overwhelm myself and anyone reading this, I've split the images up in "Weddings" (this post), and "Everything Else" (which will follow in the next week or so and consists mainly of maternity + newborn images, with a few family shots thrown in for good measure!)
I'm still in awe that this gets to be my job, and that I get to spend the happiest days of people's lives with them. I mean really…that's pretty awesome :) I had ten weddings in 2014, so I've pulled my favourite images from each wedding, and organized them into a sort of "timeline", so that there would be a bit of order to them. Thank you to all my 2014 brides, for being so beautiful, for getting married, and for trusting me with the incredible job of capturing your memories for you.

Can we all just take a moment and swoon over this picture?! Definitely one of my favourites, ever!
Mama + Daughter. So very special!
Matching bride + bridesmaid's robes were a new trend this summer: I LOVE IT (in my mind, everything is better when things match!) ;)
First Glimpse with the bridesmaids...
…and with the bridesmaid's AND Mom and Dad...
…and with the Groom!

Something I struggle with at weddings? Keeping my eyes from filling with tears when I look through the lens to see this.
And this.
And this.
{Portraits}
All summer, I waited patiently (or un-patiently) for a bride to wear a flower halo. THANK YOU Danielle!! :)
I got to work with the most gorgeous bridesmaids this summer…and my wonderful brides did a fantastic job of choosing equally gorgeous gowns for their 'maids! Greys + pastels…swoon!
These moments.
One of my super stunning sister-in-laws :) No big deal!
And a few extra moments that maybe weren't scripted ;)
What every good bridesmaid should be wearing under her gown...
Em…I'm really, really sorry for keeping this picture.
And for posting it here, now ;)
