2024 Year in Review | Portraits

As many of you are aware, we've been sharing our year-end recap for a while now, where we look back on the entire year and feature each couple with a photo from every wedding! 2 years ago, we decided it would be fun to include our portrait couples and families, so we began doing a year-end recap for all of our portrait sessions as well! This generated some excitement, so here we are for the third year, showcasing all the wonderful couples and families we had the privilege to work with in 2024!

In addition to 67 weddings & elopements in 2024, we also had privilege of being a part of 147 portrait sessions, or a session/wedding every 1.7 days for you stat folks like me!  For the second year in a row, this was the year of the proposal!  We captured proposals for 45 amazing couples from the NC to Wyoming! With last year and this year being big years for couples popping the question, we think our industry will be looking at big wedding years in 2025 and 2026!

Alongside all of the new couples and families we've had the pleasure of connecting with, we want to express our heartfelt gratitude to all our returning couples and families! Reconnecting with so many of you each year is one of the things we look forward to the most! We've witnessed numerous anniversaries, growing families, and countless cherished memories! Thank you for letting us continue to be a small part of it all!

As always, we hope you enjoy following along as we share one image from each session!

(NOTE:  If you see wedding a dress, it was either a bridal or pre-wedding session, not a wedding; One of our couples did keep their session private from out west, so that one will not be pictured)
