Even though I’m still kind of in disbelief/denial that the 2015 wedding season is OVER already, I’ve been taking some time lately to reflect on what an amazing year it’s truly been.

Without getting *too* sappy, I just really can’t say enough how grateful I am to do this thing that I love. I photographed my first solo wedding at age fourteen and never could have imagined how that one day would change the course of my life. It seriously fills my heart with so much gratitude to think of the beautiful journey it’s been since. Lots of hard, hard work… but the MOST rewarding. :) Some days it honestly feels surreal to look back and see how far I’ve come and I’ll never truly be able to express my thanks to my family for believing in me, clients for trusting me, and Jesus for blessing my business beyond what I could have ever imagined. And here I said I wasn’t going to get sappy… HA.

Some of you have been following my work since the very start, and some of you are a little newer around here. :) Either way, you play a significant part in my life and I just wish I could teleport across the internet to thank every person who has ever left a sweet comment along the way!! I could hug you all.

Although my job is the GREATEST OF ALL TIME and these were some of the best days of 2015, we photographers do find quite a way of making ourselves look entirely too *glam* in an Instagram feed. Needless to say, seeing this collection of behind the scenes from the last year is rather humbling (“Thaaaat’s what I looked like?!”), but it’s also kinda my favorite.

So whether you’ve ever been curious what a photographer actually looks like on the job, OR you’re just seeking photos of me looking overly happy/bossy/ridiculous… then today is your day. You’ve come to the right place. Without further adieu, I give you… 2015 BEHIND THE SCENES. I’m embarrassed already.

“Ok lovebirds enough PDA, your attention please!”

“Just pretend it’s 75 and sunny, while I stand over here dressed like an eskimo in my nice warm coat.”

Thank you Sarah for laughing at my jokes. Bless you.

Always certain my hair will go up in flames.

The windiest day of the year. Also the day I was most grateful I remembered to wear shorts under my dress.

Looking back now I think perhaps *I* was the one whose hair needed the fixing… SOS.

“It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s… just me.”

Gotta test out the photobooth. For professional reasons. Obvi.

Oh wait Amy you *don’t* want me in your bridal portraits? Ohhhhhh ok.

Not even a pity laugh.

Caroline Logan Photography: Getting Emotional During Nearly Every Father/Daughter Dance Since 2010

Reception grand entrance test shots… the moment of every wedding day I look awkward without fail because every guest watching thinks the photographer just wants a cute pic of herself. -_-

Tower of Babel moment.

AWH. When your first 2015 bride is a guest at your last 2015 bride’s wedding. Full circle, happy heart.

It’s cool. I never liked these shoes anyway.

“But I thought you guys wanted to spend the day with meeeeee? :(“

“And do you, Amy, take Taylor to be your lawfully wedded husband?”

The evolution of a photo.

Caught this culprit trying to steal the wedding bands…

The colder the day, the cozier the pose.

GROUP HUG ON THREE.

Obviously missed the white dress memo here…

Ryan & Renee being cute even when it’s not for a photo. My fave.

“I understand you need some YOU-time, but we really need to be moving on with portraits, guys.”

Realizing now that cardigan kind of looked like a purple cape…

“Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today…”

That moment you realize you’re in your second shooter’s picture but it’s too late…

As I always say… 10% a photographer, 90% a hair-fixer.

Where’s Waldo Caroline?

Zach & Becca proving I’m funny. I love you forever.

I promise I’m not as boring as these groomsmen make me look… I think.

High-time I invest in an umbrella hat.

This year has brought more hair stylist freelance opportunities. Happy to report my skills are rapidly improving.

Professional third wheeler.

Oh, y’know… just getting in my morning wall-sit workout.

Decided to join Mark & Amanda’s choreographed first dance. I wanted my moment in the spotlight too.

Canon 5D Mark 3 vs. Droid… #winning

Wobble baby, wobble baby, wobble baby, wobble…

The face of a girl ten minutes ahead of schedule. (!!!)

When your skirt is up and you don’t even know it…

“YOU’RE MARRIED!!!!”

Fulfilling my lifelong dream of being a music conductor.

We were having a stare off…

Only posting this cause my hair looks normal for once. PTL.

When your bride steps in dog poop, you wash her shoe in the river of course!

The dreamiest light <3

That time I looked like a giant…

Do I love my job? Why yes I do.

Changing lenses over a puddle of water. SMART.

One of these things is not like the others…

At least Mark thinks I’m funny!

Convincing Sarah to trade hair with me.

Reception time.

I’ll race ya to the cake!!

Working hard…

Hardly working…

Just practicing for my dance recital.

Don’t mess with the focus face.

F I N A L L Y got the haircut I needed all year !!

Rehearsing the first dance by myself.

And then there was that one wedding where a goat tagged along for portraits…
