As we close out 2024, I’m reflecting on what an amazing year this has been. I spent all of yesterday going through the memories of all my weddings I was privileged enough to be a part of this year. Without a doubt, this has been the best year of my career yet. It’s impossible to incapsulate all the highlights, but I picked 10 photos that I am proud of to represent my year. But there were SO MANY MORE that I wish I could include.
I want to say THANK YOU to all my couples who welcomed me into their wedding day and family this year. I’ve been blessed with amazing clients who are kind, thoughtful and plan beautiful and meaningful wedding days. Being apart of your family for the day, seeing you laugh and smile, seeing you exchange your vows and create your own family- that is why I love my job and do what I do. Thank you for entrusting me with one of the biggest days of your lives and for so much love and support back.

For me, 2024 was the year I fully fine tuned my film skill set. It’s the year I spent a LOT of time at (keeping that running into 2025 too!!! 😉) It’s the year I spent a week at learning to bring the refined and bespoke wedding day experience back home to my clients. Thank you so much and company for a life changing experience 🤍
It’s the year I took full control of my brand and voice and got crystal clear what I wanted out of business and out of life. I traveled not just to Europe but to Michigan and Florida a lot and have found home in both places. And I spent time with my family and friends and am living a truly fulfilled life.
Now we look ahead to 2025 for another exciting (and life changing) year. I have so much hope and joy for the year ahead!! 🥂

XO,
Kristen
