Best of the Best 2009: Couples (and the end)

Our couples are at the heart of our photography. We love capturing the dynamic between two people. This year did not disappoint.
 
Aaron’s Picks:
I can’t believe we’ve reached the end but here it goes. All of our couples are amazingly special to us and choosing these ten was extremely difficult because of that. Thanks everyone for...

Best of the Best 2009: Wedding Party

The people you love the most… besides each other
 
Aaron’s Picks:
I made the mistake of reading what Heather wrote about wedding parties before doing it myself. So now you get this. Wedding Parties are like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re gonna get. Okay, I apologize for that. I really have a blast...

Best of the Best 2009: Getting Ready

Get your hair did … then get married.
 
Aaron’s Picks:
I’ll be honest, this is really Heather’s category. Guys just don’t take that much prep time so I’m usually off doing other things that get me in trouble. It’s also fun b/c this  is where our picks really start to differ. I guess marriage is no account...

Best of the Best 2009: Engagements

People in love before they put on wedding gear = win!
 
Aaron’s Picks:
I love weddings but engagements are by far my favorite group. Nothing beats photoshoots without limits and most weddings just don’t fit in that category. It’s also one of the hardest to narrow down. I could have easily done a top 100, but here’s...

Best of the Best 2009: Best of the Rest

It’s been a few weeks since we closed the books on 2009, but it’s still fresh in our mind. We decided a few years ago to recap the closing year with a Best of series from everything we shot. It’s always and interesting and a much debated topic in the Hawes household. While Aaron and...
