BEST OF 2019: This Year’s Favorites!
Happy NEW YEAR’S EVE, friends! What a year it’s been!! Each year around this time I make a point to review my images from the past 12 months. And as I’m sure you can imagine, picking favorites is NOT an easy task! The following are just handful of moments and memories that stood out to me this year… not to mention some of my proudest portfolio pieces 🙂
Hope you enjoy!
Highlights from 2019 include:
- Travel, of course! I was lucky enough to have weddings and sessions in Utah, Wisconsin, downstate Illinois and New York City.
- An unusually high number of weekday weddings. Wednesdays are for love, right??
- Lots of new wedding venues for me! Some of my faves include Firehouse Chicago, Morton Arboretum, the International Museum of Surgical Science, Lacuna Artist Lofts, North Pond, and the Chicago Athletic Association Hotel.
- New cultural traditions. I got to photograph my first Greek Orthodox wedding and Jewish Orthodox wedding this year.
- My first (and potentially career-only) Flower Gram (hi, Gigi!)
- Jeremy’s first full year as my main second shooter (!!)
- RAIN. Oh my goodness. Chicago weather got me this year… I now consider myself a master at photographing rainy wedding days.
- So many fur babies I cannot even count! Shout out to Hannah, Twill, Guinness, Mama, Phillip, Sunny, and Dolly for all the cuteness (and keeping us well-stocked on lint rollers).
- Being named one of Chicago’s Top Wedding Photographers by Expertise.com. An honor to say the least.
Finally, our most major addition in 2019 has been VIDEO!! We added two videographers to the team this year, and they’ve created the most stunning wedding films for our couples. I could not be happier with their work and can’t wait to see what we create in 2020!
To my readers: THANK YOU a million times for your support! You’ve helped make 2019 a truly awesome year. Cheers to the next decade, all!!!
What an amazing year and incredibly amazing photographs!!!! We are still honored to have worked with you and thank you from the bottom of our hearts for sharing your talents with us!!! Here’s to continued success and creative genius next year and always!!!! Love, The Whitfield’s
Awww THANK YOU, Abeni!! That means so much! The pleasure was mine – had such a blast capturing your wedding this year 🙂 Thanks again for having me, Whitfields!!
