2017 was an incredible year.

I had the honor of photographing 18 couples’ first day of marriage. Lots of kisses, lots of tears, SO many laughs. It is overwhelming how much I love my couples and my job. So I’m celebrating the close of my 7th season in a unique way.

I’m choosing to post my favorite images from 2017… in black and white. I gravitate to black and white because you can feel the emotion rather than get lost in the colors. As I was choosing my favorite images to share, over 90% of them were black and white. I was surprised, and at the same time not surprised at all.

These are images you may not have ever seen until now… I’m so honored to share them with you.

XO, Lena
