So this is how it’s been going towards the end of every December for the past few years or so – we spend the last week in a frenzy, finishing up some work, shopping for gifts and preparing for Christmas. Then we split Christmas between Montreal and Ottawa where we spend a few days hanging out with Tim’s family. We then come back in time to celebrate my mom’s birthday, and then party-hop to see all the friends who have some back into town for the holidays. And as New Year’s quickly approaches on the horizon I start thinking back over the year (as many of you probably do as well) and – for reals now – thank God for the pretty fantastic couples we’ve met, hung out with and photographed. And naturally, I start thinking about the retrospective slideshow I am eventually going to put together and the images that have stuck in my and Tim’s minds. Then before you know it, we’re food shopping for a New Year’s Eve shindig (or preparing to attend one), recovering the very next day and then somehow, I drag myself over to the computer and start opening folders to pick out images for this post. It carries on to the next day, January 2nd, which is where we are now; having finally put this retrospective together of images that have stuck in our minds in 2011.
Oh, there’s plenty more, believe me. Considering we probably fired off roughly 200,000 frames this year and delivered tens of thousands of finished images to our clients, I agonized over what to include. I’ve had to leave out a few award-winning and published images, but that’s ok because I wanted to include a few never-blogged images as well. So here it is – 2011 weddings and couples in review. Enjoy and Happy New Year!
