2019 was all about connection and reconnection across every facet of my life.
This past year presented me with many moments to re-evaluate and fine tune my business.
It also gave me a chance to really appreciate the new relationships that blossomed over the past year and the opportunity to nurture past ones through much needed reconnecting.
From a wedding industry point of view, 2019 was a reminder that I am loved, appreciated and surrounded by the most talented, hard working and passionate people. These people thrive in their crafts because they pour their hearts into everything they do. It’s a community that inspires me to do the same, wherever and whenever I can.
We are so lucky to be able to celebrate moments with our couples. There is nothing like it.
2019 also happened to be the year I experienced one of the greatest accomplishments of my career by winning the 2019 BC Wedding Award for Best Overall Photography.
A part of me takes that moment in time and interprets it as a perfectly timed hug from the Universe, in a time when I needed it the most.
It was a little hug of reassurance to remind me that I am still on the right path, exactly where I am meant to be..
.. a place to keep going, and to keep growing.
