Jessica Hill LovelyByJessica Hill Lovely

2016 was filled with so many remarkable memories. Personally, my husband and I welcomed an amazing blue-eyed baby boy in early summer and bought a house in late autumn! Needless to say, I’ve had my hands full with momma-hood that I’ve barely blogged any of the amazing weddings and engagements that I photographed in that historic year! So, in keeping with tradition; here’s a little sampling of my top 16 of 2016 (Ok- top 17 because it was a leap year!) I have a crush on all these images and I hope you do too. Follow me on Instagram to see pics of the babe and more stunning weddings, engagements and families. More blogs soon for sure <3 A man in a dress shirt and tie stands smiling in a hotel room doorway, facing another man in glasses and a striped shirt. Two people are in the background inside the room.
