Best Of Weddings 2018 – Prudente Photography
On the drive home from every wedding, it seems like every sentence starts with: ” It was so cool…”, “The _blank_ was so pretty”, “I loved how…”. We love and are honored to be surrounded by so many beautiful things every week, and we love reminiscing all the gorgeousness. The thought of pulling together a “Best of ” blog post came up multiple times, but 2019 is finally the year for it!
2018 was the busiest year EVER for us with 40 weddings, and looking through all the photos was no easy task. It was a challenge but it sure was fun! We didn’t even expect to receive so many nominations from our social media ask, so THANK YOU all for your nominations!
Get ready! This one’s a long post! So many categories, and if we took another week we would probably come up with even more. In no particular order, here are some of the Best highlights from our 2018!
Best Dip
Best “Ring Bearer”
The quotation marks are very intentional here. See, the father of the bride, literally saved the ceremony by running down to the bridal suite to get the rings, when the bride realized half way through the ceremony that she forgot them. Oops… You can see the reactions unfold here:
Best Ring Bearer Crew
Best Father-Daughter Dance
This category comes from a nomination we received, and this note is exactly why we do what we do: “We’ve had a rough few years in the past and things weren’t quite right in our family. But this wedding….I think it was the best day and night of my whole families lives. The one photo that really makes me cry is the shot of my dad and my sister looking at each other during their dance.”
Best Photobomb
This is the day when we discovered what SantaCon is a thing, and a special shot out goes to that girl! Hey!
