We have been so lucky to have a very diverse bevy of brides sharing their stories this year. From planning to practice, the best thing about it is we’ve heard about it in the bride’s own voice which is what makes Weddings so unique. It’s more than just stunning photography, it’s stories, experiences and emotions!

So, as we prepare for a 2012 full of love, here’s a look back on some of the best posts of 2011. Enjoy!
