2016 Behind the Scenes

January 4, 2017

This year was such an incredible year filed with so many weddings. I am so overjoyed with how many couples I was able to serve this year. Overall, I shot over 30 weddings, including my own couples’ weddings and weddings I shot as a second photographer. I did not expect to do that much at ALL. I am so thankful I was able to serve so many couples! :)

If you’ve browsed my blog, you’ve already seen the photos from every wedding… but in this post, I’m SO excited to share dozens of behind the scenes photos taken at many of the weddings I shot! There is an abundance of me standing on stools/benches/chairs… making weird gestures… and standing in weird ways.

Shout out to my second shooters, Anna Markley, Michelle Joy, Lauren Anne, Kelsie Lynn, Natalie Baker, and my awesome fiance Michael Kase for joining me AND for providing most of the photos in this post!

If you choose me as your wedding photographer, I also double as a professional dress fluffer.

Being on the shorter side, I’m often found standing on things to make me taller… like this bench:

This happens pretty often too… just hiding in the bushes. Also, I may or may not have ran into a tree before while shooting… oops.

I will also tie any bows that need to be tied.

I also keep bobby pins on me at all times. So if we’re in the middle of portraits and you need one, I have you covered. ;)

On a chair, again… and doing one of my weird positions to get just the right angle.

Michael filling up two water bottles at once… I don’t know how he did that really. But he’s the best. :)

I’ll make your bridal party REALLY EXCITED to take their photos… I get pretty into it sometimes.

Aaaand I’m pretty sure I commonly make weird gestures like this on the right. I also tend to hold my camera like that a lot, like a baby. Ha. :)

A couple more weird hand gestures…

Another of Anna, this time I was second shooting for her at her wedding, managing a huge bridal party like a pro.
