Let me start this post off by telling you how many times I cried, laughed, and swore behind my camera this year because my couples were freaking amazing! They absolutely killed it this year when it came to putting their hearts and souls into their weddings. So many heartfelt speeches, tearful first dances, hilarious moments and all around perfect days that I will always cherish being a part of.

Last year I updated you on both the business and personal goals I had for myself and what I hoped to achieve. While this year started out with similar ambitions, that was quickly put to the test with multiple shitty things happening throughout the year in my personal life including 2 of my loved ones passing away and our family dog Shelby. While taking the time to grieve, I took the time to just hang out and not do so much in my down time while still focussing on my couples and giving them my all! Hopefully 2020 won’t kick my butt as much. Finger’s crossed.

I apologized in last year’s best of blog for posting too many photos, but I feel like this year might have it beat! So sorry, not sorry again!

Thank you sooo much to all of my amazing couples this year and the incredible vendors I got to work alongside.

Some stats from my 2019 season:

6 family’s photographed 3 editorials photographed 25 couples photographed Over 10, 000 images delivered

Here’s to an even better 2020!

So as you may know, especially if you follow me on Instagram, my boyfriend (now husband) and I got married in May!  We had a small destination wedding in the South of France with 12 of our closest friends and family.  Since we are both wedding photographers we knew we wanted to do something a bit different and not have to deal with the drama that comes along with having a 100+ guest list.  Don't worry though if you are having a big wedding!  We still had drama lol.  

We found our "venue" on Airbnb which also doubled as everyone's accommodations for the week.  It was a stunning 14th century chateau in the small town of Saint-Hippolyte-de-Caton located around nine hours south of Paris.  This place was wildly beautiful and I still can't believe we got married there!  Everyday started off with an adventure to the nearest bakery to get fresh croissants (HOLY CRAP WERE THEY EVER DELICIOUS!) and some other staples for the day.  We relaxed pool-side or would go on mini road trips to the near towns and be tourists for the day.  Half of our group had never been to Europe before and the other half had never been to France so we were excited to explore the stunning countryside.  I would definitely recommend it can't wait to go back one day with Joey!

Our wedding day was really low-key and relaxed.  We started out the day the same as the others, with croissants and coffee out on the patio.  We got ready in the afternoon, did our first look and then some photos and had a late ceremony with cocktails and dinner afterwards.  The night ended with a lot of Drake, ska music, some crazy dance moves, and jumping into the pool!

Some of these photos are from the sweet little town of Saint-Hippolyte-de-Caton, including our chateau, Arles, Nimes, and other little towns that we stopped in because of their beauty.  Enjoy :)

I couldn't help myself, I had to take some photos on my own wedding day!

Now some actual photos of our wedding from our insanely talented wedding photographer Kristin Sweeting.  

This one below is one of my absolute favourite wedding photos!  This was well after midnight and after a lot of drinks!

Now back to my photos!
