Friday Round-up

The last couple of weeks have been pretty insane. We launched our Top 15 Wedding Photographers of 2013 list, we revamped our blog and made it look super pretty, we woke up to an email from Harper's Bazaar regarding a feature we published (it was a really good email), got the sweetest email from a photographer who was featured Top 15 2012 list letting us know that a bride found her and booked her because of that list. Seriously y'all.. this makes me so happy. To be able to give these talented photographers a platform to showcase their work and get inquiries or even better, BOOKINGS!? It makes me so so proud! In addition to all that great stuff that happened, we also featured some really pretty shoots! Like this winter engagement session and Long Beach bike engagement session. Thinking of having a tropical destination wedding? Check out this charming intimate Costa Rica wedding. And last but not least, how beautiful is this day-after (aka "trash the dress") shoot from Portugal? We just love it! We hope you had a fabulous week! Don't forget to check out some of our favorite finds this week + an introduction to our newest sponsor!
