This is our favorite post of the year. Today, you all get to see all of the “pretty” stuff and what our engagement sessions and wedding days REALLY look like!  Sure, our couples are gorgeous and their weddings are beautiful, but WE don’t always look that great while we are shooting.  Not only do we get to show some shots of us working, we have also decided to share some of our friends that worked alongside of us this year!  We have laughed so hard at some of these photos.  This year has been amazing and as we look back through these behind the scenes images we laughed, but we are also overcome with thankfulness.  The people that we have met this year have been the biggest blessing to us!  As you look through these embarrassing pictures of us try not to judge! lol  Enjoy a peek into our work life!

Some things you might notice in this post:

That I probably need to go shopping for more comfortable outfits for sessions and weddings, besides the few I wore all year.

The flattering looks that we give the camera. WE are just going to embrace the embarrassing!

We will go anywhere to take the photo!

Chad photobombing me and, of course, me photobombing him to get even!

The evil eye

Whenever there are balconies around you’ll likely find one of us there

Just don’t fall in the water…

Katy has helped us so much and we always have a blast with her!! Thank you Katy for everything!

Let me just lay here on the ground and take a photo of your ring while Chad takes photos of you. 

The poor guy models so much for me and tests the light, but he does a good job!!

I have no idea what I am doing here…but I look confused

In the midst of the wedding day..

Just me and my extremely white legs

Forgot about the huge mirror there..oops

Chairs are not just for sitting

I have no idea what I was doing here but apparently it felt better without shoes

Playing in the bush

Chad caught me and look closely…the bottom of my pants are soaked.

Timeout for flower removal

Pop the leg

Love taking photos with our clients! Wedding days are so crazy that we don’t always get to, but we are so glad when we have the chance! 

We have your back if your venue sign is broken!

 

RUN!

He thinks I am crazy at times

I mean who wouldn’t? I hide in bushes

That look

Yes he may have very well been taking a photo of the sky

not my best angle…thanks chad

Gotta love my white legs!!

Love you Katy!

Looking like a hot mess but always having fun!

In the road and probably almost ready to get hit by a car.

Not my best look and I think my skin is now glowing

Chad really knows how to take the best shots of me

Not sure what this stance is called

Chad really wanted to be in this shot
