I had the honor of shooting


23 weddings last year and the best part of it all was that I can pull out something that was a favorite thing from each and every one. Whether it was the decor and style of the day or that the wedding couple shared a mutual friendship with someone close to me, I had an amazing time working through the 2024 wedding seasons. Here are some of my favorite trends that really stood out for me.

It's always amazing to me to see


how every single wedding couple that I work with, they have their own things that are important to them, that they want to focus their vision around, that they want to have a ton of fun with and that they want to make time and space for through their day.
