2011 YEAR IN REVIEW | The Engagements

At the beginning of a New Year, I always love to a reflect on the year that just ended. I love  to see how how far I've come, and to remember all the wonderful moments I got to experience that past year! When I look back on all the weddings and love shoots I've done I get the warm fuzzies. Because again I'm blown away by how many AWESOME couples I worked with. Because I see how every shoot I become I better photographer. Because there my life is filled with beauty inside and out. These year-in-review posts are truly some of my favorite. And I look forward to creating them each January!I was very lucky to have SUCH fabulously creative and stylish couples in 2012. Many of my couples wanted to do unique engagements and styled them to perfection! I loved it! I can only hope 2012 is filled with such gorgeous engagements, though I have no doubt it will be! :) So without further ado, a look back at 2011's engagement shoots...Technically Brooklyn + Mark's shoot was an anniversary...but who wants to be technical?!
