Something Magical happened in 2014.......

Well, here it comes, the New Year,  I thought 2014 was pretty great in both personal and business life. I shot AMAZING weddings and met amazing people and traveled to great places, experienced new things. I loved 2014 so I can only hope 2015 can match up! I am excited about the weddings I have booked for 2015, I think I am going to bring a new dynamic to Dani Stephenson Photography with some new type of weddings in new places, definitely looking forward to that! Very excited to get back to shooting weddings, this off-season is going to be too long! Here's a recap the fabulous year of 2014 with photos, I randomly chose one photo from each wedding, each photo is different and by no means is the best or my favorite of the day, this isn't a contest. I chose one photo that I really connected with either a moment, a feeling, a space, a joke, anything that takes me back to that day, you see, something very magical happened in 2014..... Enjoy!

"Maybe Christmas, he thought... doesn't come from a store. Maybe Christmas, perhaps... means a little bit more!" ~Dr. Suess

Christmas isn't about gifts, We hear it all the time. Truth is, Christmas has been about gifts all along. The gift of family, friends, and people who cross your path on your journey through life. The gift of togetherness, gatherings and celebrations. Those little wrapped boxes under the tree are simply a bonus, a surprise, a way of showing someone you care. I love giving gifts and I know Christmas doesn't come from a store and I know it means a whole lot more. But the spirit of giving is special to me. One small meaningful gift can make someone feel so good, so special. 

Remember these two, Jennie & Travis Braga an AMAZING couple who have made me feel extremely special since the day I met them. 

They sent me this and my heart is warmed by this special and unexpected surprise. It's one of the most meaningful gifts I have ever received and I truly love it and them. I am so blessed by the couples who choose me. I am so thankful for this gift of photography, it has brought me countless, priceless gifts, so many I can't even count. 

So, Christmas may not be from a store, but the spirit of giving and making people feel warm and special and loved is something very real and wonderful. I can only hope all of you feel the same this season.
