Sentimental Sunday | That time that….

Weddings are full of sentimental moments and memories.  I love looking back at pictures because I’m able to remember those special moments that would otherwise be most likely forgotten.  Today I wanted to look back and share a few of my favorite moments from weddings in the last year-some funny, some that made me cry, some that taught me something, some that were a full circle moment.  Sometimes I just have to pinch myself.  This is what I get to do-this is what I get to document-moments like this are what makes my job so rewarding.

So now I look back and remember…..
