Awesome Wedding Portraits – The Best of 2021

Drumroll, please……. (are you doing it?!)……. as I present to you my most Awesome Wedding Portraits from 2021! While eighty three percent of my attention on a wedding day focuses on capturing those candid moments, I do love a fun, creative portrait. And the more time we have to play, the better!

I kept it to 21–because I’m that kind of person lol–which means I had to leave out a lot of amazing images. But the ones below are the few that I can’t stop looking at! They are fun, they are creative, they hand you the full energy and emotion of each unique wedding celebration in the best way. And while some of them seem candid, these made it into the Awesome Wedding Portraits category because there was some prior planning or direction involved (unlike the Incredible Wedding Candids that I will be posting next month). It may have been something very simple such as “can you go stand along that wall” or something that took a few takes “let’s try that again, this time a bit slower”, but I had some sort of vision for each of them and they turned out better than I could’ve hoped!

So in no particular order, here they are:
