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 by now you’ve probably gathered that I am quite bad at blogging. When it comes to my business it’s pretty much at the bottom of my to-do list and that needs to change! I did say I was going to do a “Best of 2018” post, and I know we’re already five months into this year, but I figured better late than never so here we go!

2018, where do I even start with you?! This past year was such a whirlwind of events including some of the best of my life. I got to marry my best-est friend (who doesn’t have 4 legs) in the South of France, we bought a house together, I saw two of my favourite artists ever (The Foo Fighters and Drake), spent a week under the sun in the Dominican, and got to hang out with sooo many awesome couples on their wedding day! 2018 also included a lot of sweet families that invited me into their lives to capture some beautiful moments.

Every year I compile a list of things I want to do for my business and in my personal life, so I figured it might be fun to add to this post so you can follow along too!

get married
buy a house
travel
have my work featured
book some awesome weddings
go to five concerts, which is my usual each year but didn't happen because of the above items lol
swim in new places
go camping, also didn't happen because of the above things, whomp whomp!
try new restaurants
get to know our new city!
shoot a destination wedding

Although I may have missed a few items on my list, I think I had an incredible year and am very lucky to be able to do this job! Thank you again to all of my amazing couples and families from 2018 and soooorry, not sorry for all the photos in this post!
