Yay!
We were just named as one of the Top 100 Photographers in the US!
As opposed to other websites/blogs that have photographers pay for "awards," this selection was entirely independent and that's such an honor!
I can still remember when I was first named Top 30 in the world, and to know that my work still resonates with people, is such beautiful news to hear!
To be honest, I don't share many of my features on here. Not because I'm not proud, but because I never want perspective couples to choose us because we seem popular in the media. Our wedding images have illustrated two books in bookstores all over the country. We've been in Vogue US and International. But that's not what matters. Those aren't the carrots we chase.
And, that is the last thing we want our couples to care about.
We stand for the preservation of authentic story telling for the sake of posterity, not for the sake of popularity.
OK, that being said, I LOVE these two souls so very much and I am always happy to see their love being shouted from the rooftops. Their wedding left us believing that everything happens for a reason, and what is meant for us will never pass us by. I also love the lady behind Carats and Cake, and am so happy to watch her star rise!
2014 was filled with the best kind of beauty. Stunning weddings, sacred rivers, sincere sisterhood. My personal prayer for 2015 is that I continue to listen to the callings whispering in my ear, and empower others to do the same.
Here's to the wild ones!
Don't be satisfied with stories, how things have gone with others. Unfold your own myth. -Rumi
Just in case you need a reminder.
You are enough. Now and always.
Your story matters and your love is gorgeous.
