2016 Favorites – Engagements

What an amazing, incredible, fulfilling, beautiful year 2016 has been! I took tens of thousands of photos and have gone thru the enormous process of pulling my favorites and compiling them into 3 categories: my favorite portraits, engagement and wedding images! I know I say this all the time, but I simply can’t say it enough – I am overwhelmingly blessed to be able to work with the most amazing people year after year after year and 2016 was no exception!

I love portraits – but I love engagements & weddings the most! Having the title of “engagement photographer” and “wedding photographer” is what makes my heart sing. If you haven’t noticed, my website got a bit of a facelift (okay, a pretty major facelift!!) a few weeks ago & I really narrowed everything down to make one point: I love engagements & weddings! That doesn’t mean I won’t still be shooting portraits, I absolutely will for my favorite year-after-year folks and at certain dedicated times of the year when I don’t have as many weddings booked. Engagements & weddings simply make me the happiest so that is what I will be charging toward in 2017, full force!

What follows are just a taste (in absolutely no particular order) of my favorite engagement images of the year. It goes without saying that there are a lot of images in this post! I’m sorry, but not sorry. Every time I look through these images, I smile as they take me right back to the moment I clicked the shutter. I love that. Photography is so powerful.

Some of these images are “never before seen” – I promise to get caught up by blogging all of my fall sessions in the coming weeks and months! This happens every year: I simply shoot faster than I can blog. And that’s okay! It just gives me plenty of pretty pictures to fill my blog over these next cold winter months! So, stay tuned!

If you’d like to see previous “favorites” posts, you can find 2015’s favorite engagements here & 2014’s favorite engagements here!

Stay tuned for my favorite wedding images of 2016! They’ll be coming a little bit later on this week!
