My Goofiest Moments Behind the Scenes | Business

Oh yes. This has to be one of my favorite blogs of the whole year. You see, all year long at weddings, Nathan and I try to have FUN. If we are working hard and having a good time, it will be obvious to each bride and groom. We want our marriage to be a model for newlyweds, and one of the ways we can do this is by enjoying each other while doing our job. So, in the midst of photographing pretty details and posing the bridal party, we are constantly trying to catch each other in the silliness of the wedding day!

While Nathan is great at getting pictures of me in action, I think I'm pretty great at getting pictures of him acting ridiculous, especially by the time the reception rolls around. If you can't tell, we have SO much fun with each other...and we love this job! Enjoy a few laughs at our expense and get excited for what next year holds...

A wedding day is kind of a crazy thing. In approximately 8 hours, Nathan and I witness everything from hair and makeup to sparkler exits, with two little things called the ceremony and reception in between. In addition, there are bridal party portraits, bride and groom portraits, and the ever-stressful-but-necessary family portraits.

Thankfully, we have a system that helps us work together to efficiently and creatively capture each moment. When Nathan started photographing weddings with me one year ago (yay!), part of that system is trying to get pictures of each otherโ€ฆoften with amusing results :) This translates into Nathan getting in-action pictures of me working, and me getting pictures of my sweet and unsuspecting husband in between poses so I can test light or otherwise get a hilarious picture of him.

So while most behind the scenes blogs will usually show the main photographer, mine will showcase both of us in a whole new light. Many thanks to Nathan for all the somewhat flattering photos of meโ€ฆand even more thanks for being the unwitting subject of my new favorite blog ;)
