2011 Wedding Photography Review :: greensboro wedding photographer

Let me just start this by saying how incredibly blessed we were this past year. We worked with some awesome vendors, photographed at so many gorgeous venues, met, became friends with, and worked with INCREDIBLE photographers, and captured the weddings of the most AMAZING brides and grooms EVER.

We took a huge leap of faith this year with me committing myself to the business full-time, and we've succeeded beyond my wildest and craziest dreams. But I can't take any of the credit for it... it's all due to you and the tremendous love and support you've shown us in 2011. So, thank you. All of you. You truly mean more to me than you'll ever know.

Without any further mushy-gushy-drive-me-to-the-verge-of-tears talk, I give you a look back at some of my favorite wedding images of 2011...

This weekend was a great one, and I'm glad to say I feel refreshed and rejuvenated and glad to be back at the blog. Last week was one of those 60-hour work weeks filled with lots of editing, lots of email, and lots of planning for the upcoming Wish Upon a Wedding NC Launch Party. I'm not complaining folks... I LOVE my job, but I was definitely happy to have an extra fun weekend.

To sum it up, I won a free ticket from Adorama to attend WPPI-U in Atlanta next week (duh. winning.). Josh and I got to go to our dear friends' wedding at the Red Barn at Tanglewood and eat, drink, and dance the night away (congratulations Bridget & Ryan). Then, to top it all off, we spent Sunday recovering relaxing, enjoying the Pioneer Woman's tomato soup, and watching Modern Family sweep the Emmy's. Seriously y'all, we love that show. And I was pumped to find out that Phil Dunphy is a fellow Penn State alum (we are...).

BUT, perhaps my favorite part of this weekend was that my first sample album from KISS Wedding Books arrived, and i've decided it is just simply luscious. And it arrives with this super cute dust cover, too...

I ordered this sample as the exact size that is included with our Vogue Wedding Collection. A 10x10 100% full-grain leather album available to you in seven colors ranging from your basic black to hot pink (this one's Sultry Blue), seen here beside the iPhone for scaling purposes.

This album includes 10-spreads (that's 20 pages) of wedding goodness, all on 2mm hard substrate pages.

All albums are custom designed by yours truly using SWAT Designer. You may recongnize the images in this album from Krissie and Kali's Greensboro wedding earlier this year. We're also excited to announce that their wedding day images will be featured in the Spring/Summer 2012 issue of The Knot NC that will be released at the end of this year.

Sealed with a KISS. 

If you'd like to see our beautiful KISS book in person, get in touch to set up your wedding consultation. And if you're a photographer, be sure to check out KISS Wedding Books and the SWAT Designer. They will make your life so much easier, and their turnaround times and customer service are excellent.

Happy Monday everyone!
