Choosing a fiance is one thing. Choosing a single favorite moment from 2017 is another. Through our lens, we see every wedding as one-of-a-kind unique. Because it was impossible to pick just one moment, we gathered a whole gallery as wedding inspiration. The common thread? Pure, unfiltered, real-life love.

Family First

When your family first sees you all fancied up in your wedding regalia, it all becomes so real—to you and them. There’s nothing better than documenting family moments to capture your special bond with mom, dad, siblings and grandparents. The more generations, the better.

Kidding Around

With pets and kids in weddings, there’s one thing you can expect—the unexpected. You know there’ll be an element of surprise, and we love to capture every OMG moment. Their expressions (and guest reactions) are priceless.

BFFs

Friends always bring the fun, especially when your bridal party or groomsmen are a mix of lifelong friends, brand-new buds, or somewhere in between. Among friends, you tend to show your true self. And that’s what creates photos that feel personal.

Cheers

Whether you’re popping a bottle of bubbly with your girls or sipping beer with your bros, the joy and excitement of celebration always comes through in photos. It’s like reliving that amazing moment again and again.

Unfiltered

The best moments happen when you’re living in them—not thinking about your timeline, or getting the perfect shot. Through candid wedding photography, we love capturing spontaneous moments between the bride and groom, from laughing at an inside joke to quiet, sentimental glances and just-because kisses. Some of our favorite photos happen in between the day’s events.

Here’s to topping our list of favorite moments in 2018.
