Best of 2013: Photography

by in Inspirations on

Paging through all of our 2013 real weddings to prep for our “Best of” series, I couldn’t help but be overcome with gratitude for the generosity of the photographers, florists, event designers, videographers, and so many other wedding magic makers that shared their work with us this year. There is SO much talent in the South, and we are delighted to share some of the prettiest pieces of it every day!

But I have to say, I’m even more indebted to all the brides and grooms that shared with us this year. Because as beautiful as these photos are, they become even more so when you get a glimpse into the story behind them. As these ten photos show, we have the privilege of publishing some of the most joyful, intimate, sacred, and meaningful moments the world has ever known. Though we did (painstakingly) narrow our photo favorites down to just ten for this post, we had so many beauties on the cutting room floor that we decided to share our top 50 moments from 2013 on Facebook. Here’s to 2013, and to an even more wonderful new year ahead!

    I especially love “Prayer before the ceremony ” Seeing the loving support of all those around them in that moment of solemnity, what a wonderful way to start a marriage!
