Each and every celebration I’ve been privileged to be part of in my career has been incredible, from the small + intimate gatherings to the ones that absolutely overflow with the people who love you the most. My 2017 season was such a whirlwind, and every single gorgeous celebration was unique in its own way. I can’t believe how many times I found myself teary eyed over the beautiful moments that transpire when two people are head over heels for each other; it’s an amazing thing to be included in, and the journey not only involves the two of you sailing off into the sunset, but me – third wheeling behind you – knowing that these photographs will forever be part of your story.

Brittany + Chase were not only one of my favorite couples of the year, but their wedding at Stonebridge Country Club also happened to be the celebration of my 100th time showing up to a day that involved the promise of forever! These two are such amazing people, and spending the day with them filled my up in ways I can hardly describe. The way they looked at each other as if they were the only people are earth was so inspiring, and I truly believe that fate had a hand in bringing them together. It was a magical day brimming with love, light (my favorite!), and a happiness that radiated through every person in attendance – including me. I am so lucky that I was able to bring their wedding day to life through photographs!

Brittany + Chase, thank you for including me in your incredible celebration, and for being the 100th couple to get in front of my lens. Your day will be one I always remember, and you two will always be so close to my heart. I hope you two have the most incredible eternity together!

Happy 2018 everyone!
