At some point as I was going through 2014 weddings to update my portfolio, I gave up trying to narrow down the images…I have way too many favorites! I love the process of looking through old wedding posts because it takes me back to some of my favorite moments of the year and reminds me why I love my job so much! I get to be a part of one of the most joyful days in a couple’s lives and I never take that for granted. It is such a huge blessing.

I think there are a few times in life when you meet people that you know are just going to be a part of it forever…no matter how far away they move or how long it’s been since you’ve seen them…Bradford is one of those people for us!
