These images are a selection from 30 weddings, four countries, seven states and who-knows-how many sessions. As I look back at the 2012 I was given, my heart overflows with gratitude. It is incredibly humbling to receive such an outpouring of love when you know you deserve nothing.  That is how I view the past year. The couples I photographed, the places I traveled, the moments I got to experience, all blessings from a God that delights in giving great gifts to His children. I am just so fortunate to be one of them.

This year I had the honor of seeing my work featured in five magazines, on more than ten blogs and I even did my first-ever podcast. I was also fortunate enough to shoot alongside a few incredible photographers, one of which being my dear friend Kat Braman. Several of these images would not have been possible without her or my talented stylist friends Jessica Sloane and Kasey D.

Dave. How you have put up with me for another year, I have no idea. Your patience and grace teaches me more about love than you will ever know. Thank you for your caring tenderness and for being the strongest part of who I am. I love you.
