I wanted to make a retrospective post of my best shots of 08 and I decided to pick my favorite from each month...this proved harder than I thought as I did way more weddings in August than in January. I didn't shoot a wedding in December so here are the 11.

January. The Hockey Stick Gauntlet.

Bonus...I got to shoot my Dad's third wedding, how many people can say they got to do that?

Hope you enjoyed it...Comments, Questions and Critique Welcome.

In December my wife and I went on Vacation to Savannah GA, the whole town is an artist's paradise, but St. John's is DIVINE, I would love to shoot a wedding here.

    I like October the best. February also... I don't normally care for selective color but this is a great idea. maybe even cooler would have been b&w on the mirror and color everywhere else... with proper PP you could maybe make it look like a painting/old photograph of them in mirror image. That might be one of those photographs that you don't even realize what it is until you look at it for awhile.

    All are great work nonetheless!!!!!

    Great use of selective color...it can add so much to a photo. I especially like the February couple in BW and the mirror in color. Way cool.

    Thanks for sharing.

    I enjoyed them all! But my favs are these. I love the feeling and moods in these 3 the most. The intimacy in these 3 are so intense. The Bonus one of your dad? Now thats awesome and to me would be the greatest treasure.
