Weddings in Review: 2011

What? 2011 is over? Am I the only one that is in shock over this? This year completely flew by for me, it's crazy how fast time flies the older you get. 2011 marked my first full year as a full time photographer, and it.was.amazing. It still shocks me sometimes that THIS is my job. The fact that my dream turned into my reality really blows my mind, and I have each and every one of my clients to thank for that. So to all of of my brides, grooms, engaged couples and families, THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart. Without you my dreams wouldn't be possible, and I'm proud to say that this year has turned out to be better than I planned, expected, or even hoped for:)

Here are some of my favorite wedding shots from 2011, I'll be posting more re-caps in the next few days!

Happy New Year to you all!!

Hotel duPont Wedding Photographer: Taryn & Arif

Winter weddings are some of my favorite....I absolutely love the decor you can use in the winter time. And any time Christmas decorations can be used along with the wedding? You all know I'm in:) Taryn & Arif's wedding was no exception - it was an absolutely stunning wedding held at Hotel duPont in Wilmington, Delaware. GORGEOUS venue, I hope to shoot many more weddings there:)

Taryn & Arif met at a singles awareness part on Valentine's Day a few years back, and wed this past Friday at Hotel duPont.....everything about their day was simply gorgeous:) Some of my favorites from their day are below, but check out their SLIDESHOW for even more images from their day!

Had to start the post off with these shoes - aren't they amazing? I wish I had shoes like that for my wedding day:) Taryn is a girl who loves some bling:)

 

Love, love love:)

 

While I was with the girls, Cait was with Arif & the guys....

 

Time for their First Look! My favorite time of the day:)

 

Downtown Wilmington has some great spots for photos:

 

One of my favorites - I see this one is a large canvas:)

 

Gorgeous Taryn:)

 

Taryn & Arif arranged for their guests to be able to take a horse & carriage ride around the city before the ceremony - they hopped in for the first ride:)

 

One of my all time favorite ring shots!

 

Absolutely loved this ceremony space:

 

Absolutely loved all of the wintery details - and that cake? One of the best I've ever seen!

 

Also one of my favorite cake shots I've ever taken, love the Christmas wreath in the background:)

Congrats Taryn & Arif!!

For even more photos from their day, make sure to check out the SLIDESHOW!

Post Wedding Session: Emily

Remember Emily, the drop dead gorgeous bride with a perfect fall wedding from November? I mean, how could you forget her, she's stunning:) I was SO excited when Emily told me she wanted to get all dressed up again for another photoshoot, she's one of the easiest people in the world to photograph. We totally lucked out when her shoot happened to fall on that glorious, sunny, 70 degree day we had last week....pure perfection:)

This shoot totally made me want to dig my dress out of the back of my closet, throw it on, and have one of my friends take pictures of me all over again....so fun! Here are some of my favorites from Emily's session:

 

LOVED that she wore cowboy boots for this session:)

 

Gorgeous:)

 

Love the feel of this one:)

 

The light was absolutely perfect last week:

 

Thanks Em, I had SO much fun doing this shoot with you!
