2025 was my biggest wedding photography year yet, and honestly, one of the most rewarding. From 33 weddings and 9 engagement shoots to winning an award and guesting on a podcast, it’s been a year of growth, gratitude, and a lot of laughter. I travelled over 3,000 miles, photographed at 23 venues, and delivered more memories than I can count. The energy, the banter, and the real moments made it unforgettable. Here’s a look back at the stats, the milestones, and the magic.

A smooth wedding day doesn’t happen by accident, it happens when you’ve built a strong, trusting relationship with your wedding vendors. From clear communication and shared vision to behind-the-scenes teamwork, the connection you create with your suppliers makes a huge difference. In this post, I’m sharing why investing in those relationships early can lead to a calmer, more joyful experience. Whether you’re just starting to book or deep into planning, this advice will help you get the best out of your team. Because your vendors shouldn’t just show up, they should show up for you.
