If you’ve never picked up the Knot magazine before, it’s a must!  It’s oodles and oodles of inspiration and information!  My favorite part is the lists of “wedding ingredients” from real couples’ weddings where you can view the vendors that they used.  And with that, I’d like to thank each and every vendor we worked with for Antoinette & Rod’s wedding.  Here are some of their “wedding ingredients”…

• Ceremony: Madonna della Strada Chapel at Loyola University Chicago
• Reception: The Rookery Building, Chicago
• Photography: Michele & Andy Rivera, assisted by Nick W.
• Catering: Jewell Events
• Consultant: Lola Event Productions

And lastly, I’m not gonna lie, the photographer in me wanted these images below in the magazine, but unfortunately, they didn’t request it…

As I write this blog post, I am sighing a huge sigh… Wow… Where do I even begin?!  2010 was such a roller coaster ride from beginning to end.   I laughed (a lot), I cried, I dreamed, I had a blast…  2010 brought a lot of challenges creatively, professionally, and personally.  It was crazy, exhausting at times, fun, challenging, but overall, it was amazing.

I thank God for giving me the gift of being able to see and the ability to interpret it with my camera.  I thank my family for all the love and support and most of all, understanding what it takes to run our business.  I thank my husband, Andy, for being my everything.  If it weren’t for him, there wouldn’t be any of this.  I thank my Misha for giving me unconditional love.  That little smile of hers that I see every morning when we wake up just brightens my day, each and everyday.

Being a part of all of our B&G’s amazing weddings was truly an honor.  To our clients, thank you for filling us with joy and trusting us to capture your day.  2010 brought us new opportunities to shoot in places we had never imagined.  Without your beautiful faces and contagious spirit,  this blog would be empty.  Thank you for helping Misha Media grow and making it what it is today.

To our blog readers, facebook, and twitter friends who have been following our work in 2010, thank you.

To the amazing wedding industry vendors that we have had  the pleasure of working with in 2010, thank you for all of your hard work.

2010 was amazing, but let’s make 2011 even better!  Cheers to all!

Before we get to the the slideshow, I wanted to share some personal favorite images of mine from our travels over the summer in Paris and Rome…

Here are our favorites from our Weddings and Sessions from 2010!

Thank you for the laughter, the tears, and the memories!

Best of Weddings 2010
