I Got Hired for a Wedding...Now What??? | Business

In the span of just a couple days, I had multiple photographers ask me - separately! - the same question. These ladies have taken senior and family portraits here and there, but have never dived deep into the world of wedding photography. They were nervous about the pressure but excited about the prospect of trying a brand new aspect of their art. I sat down with one and chatted with another about the next steps, and after having several conversations in one week, I decided this could be a great topic for the blog. So, if you are thinking about photographing a wedding, or if you’ve already been hired to do so and you aren’t sure where to begin, this one’s for you!

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...
