This is always the biggest post of the year, my favorite wedding moments of 2021. I start with hundreds of favorites and it takes FOREVER to narrow it down. Somehow I still always end up with hundreds of images I want to share. It’s so hard to choose. Each wedding is so special and every couple is so sweet. Every time I look at these images, I’m reliving their magical day over and over again.
This year, the STP team photographed 24 weddings and one sweet elopement. Even though this wasn’t the most weddings we’ve ever photographed in one year, it was definitely one of our busiest seasons and tested us in so many ways. We dealt with things this year that I have never dealt with in my 10 years of business. There were definitely some nights I would come home after a wedding day feeling so drained even though my heart felt so full.
With so many weddings rescheduled from 2020, our weekends were packed! This was also the first year I lived in Seattle so I spent the majority of my year traveling back to Wisconsin to fulfill weddings booked before the move. I have ALL the tips on traveling with so much camera gear now. I’ll remember this year as the year of moving nonstop, whether I was traveling or moving on a wedding day – nothing about this year was slow paced or quiet. 2021 helped us grow and adapt in ways I didn’t even know were possible!
Unforgettable moments from this year include:
– Discovering new venues and photo shoot locations in Washington
– Meeting wonderful new couples and photographing their weddings in my new home of Seattle
– Getting to work alongside both my amazing associates, Amy and Kyra
– Bringing wedding inspiration visions to life with gorgeous styled shoots
– Starting to incorporate medium format film into my wedding days
– Getting published in numerous blogs and magazines, including a spread in the Fall/Winter issue of Wisconsin Bride
– Meeting some amazing new vendors and working with old friends
– Photographing weddings ALL over Wisconsin including Green Bay, Milwaukee, Madison, Wausau, and more
– Handling all sorts of weather including extreme heat, rain storms, and freezing temperatures
– Witnessing some of the sweetest and unexpected moments on wedding days
I am SO incredibly proud of my team for the amazing work they did this year. Amy and Kyra, I couldn’t do this without you both. I’m so thankful for the love and kindness you bring to our couples and their families. You two are truly the best of the best and I’m lucky to have you on the team!
Thank you to our amazing 2021 couples! We were honored to be a part of your special days!
