Wedding Highlights - 2022

So clearly work & life got too busy and I am not able to keep up with writing a blog post for each of my amazing couples that get married. I bailed towards the end of 2021 and it still makes me sad as I loved reliving the time that I had with my clients and remembering all the special details that made their day so unique. I loved the quiet time looking through my notes and pictures, and using my memory to put it all together in a story that I hoped showcased their day in a way they would be proud of.

Since I can’t blog about each client individually, I thought it would be fun – mostly for me, but for anyone else who happens on this page – to take a look back at 2022 and highlight some of the things my clients did to make their day special, showcase unique touches I loved, and give an overview of trends I saw that may or may not stick around. Happy reading! xo
