A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR FROM US HERE AT JONATHAN DAVID PHOTOGRAPHY!
Can someone please explain to me how on earth we're down to the last blog of the year already?! Doesn't seem like 5 minutes since we were welcoming 2022, let alone preparing ourselves for 2023!
It's been an utterly crazy year, and our busiest to date actually, but as I'm sitting here looking at next year's diary, we've already got more weddings booked for 2023 than we've done in 2022! We're definitely ready for it though, and I can't wait to share some truly incredible moments with more awesome couples next year!
We absolutely smashed the target we had for weddings this year, and I've made a considerable dent in next year's target number, which I've upped multiple times might I also add!!
I've got so many amazing memories from 2022, so I thought this week, we could round off the year with some of my highlights. I was just going to put up a generic gallery of images, but I felt upping the ante with a nice little video would do the year the justice it deserves.
I don't do much in terms of video editing, that usually gets left to Dan our resident videographer, as he's considerably better and quicker at it than I am, but I'd love it if you took a few minutes to give it a watch. You might even make an appearance if you had a wedding with me this year!
(It's also got a belting soundtrack)
I think we've all had a tough year in terms of obstacles and I personally couldn't have thrived the way I have this year without the love and support I've received from the people around me.
It really has been a fantastic year for Jonathan David, and I only ever want things to get bigger and better, so a HUGE thank you goes out to every single person who has worked with me, offered advice or just been there for me and my family. You're all awesome, and I love you all.
We definitely can't close off the year without a special thank you to my incredible partner, Rachel. Let's not forget, not only is she my second photographer (and an excellent addition to your day), but she also works a proper Monday-to-Friday job too. I've nothing but the utmost love and respect for her for how hard she works. During the summer she easily clocked up over 14 days of continuous work without a break due to weddings. We certainly wouldn't be where we are now without her.
I'm still yet to receive a copy of all the nominations I received for the wedding industry awards, but rest assured, I'll be reaching out to everyone who nominated me to offer my personal thanks. I can't wait to read what you all wrote!
So for the final time this year...
PEACE. LOVE AND PHOTOS.
I'll see you all in 2023!
