Wedding Photography Behind the Scenes

So, it’s that time!  Time to show off our Behind the Scenes photos!  We know a lot of you have been waiting to see them!  Usually, you all get to see all the “pretty stuff” and today you will get to see what it looks like to be in our shoes!  Not only will you get to see shots of us working, but we also try to take a few shots of vendors and the second shooters that have shot with us! We always love seeing everyone’s behind the scenes posts! The moments we accidentally capture while trying to produce beautiful images are quite entertaining!!  We didn’t realize just how many of these images we had since we haven’t had the chance to share for a couple of years!  We decided to break it down!  Welcome to Part 1 – Weddings!  We hope this post provides some smiles and laughter!!  Our new goal is to make this happen at the end of every year!  Be sure to keep your eyes peeled in December! We will have a lot to share with you after this year has passed!  Enjoy these “Behind the Scenes” photos and try not to judge us.  We look a little rough in some of these images!  To be honest, no photographer should look 100% put together after shooting for hours upon hours! 🙂 It has been an amazing adventure so far and we look back through these BTS images and laugh, but we are so grateful for these moments!

 

Just a warning..this is a long blog post and this was even after culling A LOT of the images! 🙂

 

up in the balcony..

Chad’s so great at the dress fluff…

and the veil fluff…

when we work with our fellow photog friends Dale & Rebecca from Edwards Photography….Dale’s great too but sometimes he gets sticky fingers

it’s ok though, he redeemed himself and did a great job!

Oh the faces I make when I realize Chad’s camera is pointed at me!

Thank you so much Katy (from Katy Sergent Photography) for shooting with us!! We always have so much fun!

Chad is awesome at silhouettes so it’s only proper that I take some of him every once in a while…

We love working with the little ones at weddings!
