2018- you were one WILD, BUSY, FANTASTIC, CHAOTIC, BLISSFUL, INSANE, LOVELY, hell of a year. John and I shot 47 weddings this year, and as we’ve gotten older, we can’t help but become more attached to all of our couples and their sweet families. I’ll never stop pinching myself over the fact that we are chosen to document the most special day of these amazing people’s lives. What an honor. I’ll say that again- WHAT AN HONOR. 2018 taught me a lot of things, but the most important thing it taught me was to be present. Be present in all the moments I’m surrounded by, to (as Taylor Swift would say) “capture it, remember it.”
There are SO MANY IMAGES in this post, at least one image from every single wedding we were a part of. I also added in five other significant moments- in the order they happened: 1. My best friend of almost 27 years became a mother, and I got to document her precious newborn. 2. Another best friend launched her very own wedding blog which has completely taken off in all of the right ways. 3. Another best friend opened her own law firm (and she’s under 30) talk about a #girlboss. 4. My sister had her last child, Matthew Bennett Whitworth who completely stole our hearts. And last but surely not least #5. We brought on Madi (who started as an intern) as our full time family associate photographer. This time next year, she’ll have her own 2019 year in review- watch out Memphis, everything this girl touches is pure gold.
I never like saying much in these year in reviews, the images speak for themselves, so I’ll leave you all with these words:
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts to all of our 2018 couples and their families. Thank you for choosing us, for trusting us, for loving us, and for supporting us. John and I are so thankful that YOU have given us the opportunity to live out our passion, hand in hand. To our social media friends, THANK YOU for double tapping all of our posts, pretending we’re funny, and commenting on our images so we don’t get lost in the ever changing Instagram algorithm. Y’all are the real MVP’s.
2018- thank you, NEXT.
