2014 Behind the Scenes

Personal

January 20, 2015

I can hardly believe I am writing this blog post right now… the 2014 wedding season truly flew by! As I sit here and reflect on the amazing year that’s just come to a close, I’m left overwhelmed with gratitude for each one of my sweet couples who allow me to do what I love… it’s truly an honor and a privilege and a blessing all in one.

One thing I always look forward to about the end of the year is seeing my photographer friends share their “Behind the Scenes” recaps! Some of the things we do in order to produce beautiful and romantic images are hilarious… it’s so fun to see what’s behind all of the pretty pictures you see throughout the year!

So if you’ve ever wondered what a photographer may look like on the job OR you’re just looking for a good laugh… here you go, I’m supplying both. :) Huge thanks to my amazing second shooters for capturing some of these behind the scenes shots over the last year!

I tried to kick off the year looking like a windswept model, but it didn’t work…2015-01-15_0001

When you shoot a wedding for a dear photographer friend, it’s a mini-reunion moment with your local photographer friends!

Brad was kind enough to hold my camera while I fixed Janae’s veil, but judging by the looks of it he was contemplating shooting the ceremony for me as well.

Sometimes I pretend I’m a bridesmaid and steal a quick picture with the bride myself :)
