The 2022 Year In Review
The Year 2022 saw me shooting weddings all over the Midwest. While I’m primarily known as a Northwest Indiana wedding photographer, I do photograph weddings in southwest Michigan, downtown Chicago and various Illinois locations.
I do travel for weddings as a destination wedding photographer as well. Simply contact me here to chat about your destination wedding.
This year also saw the popularity of hybrid photo/video coverage rise up as well. So check out some of those videos interspersed below.
I’m focusing (no pun intended) on my couples in this end of year post, but I put in a few other moments as well. Do scroll down this blog where you can find over a DECADE worth of wedding articles.
If you don’t quite have the time to scroll back that far, My 2021 Year in Review can be found here, the 2020 Year In Review is here as well as The 2019 Year In Review at this link.
Enjoy!! - Steve
