2016 Behind the Scenes

What a year it's been! 25 AMAZING couples, 25 beautiful wedding days photographed. I've just delivered the last one of the year, and I am so excited to marathon lots of reality TV, catch up on some blogging, set some new goals for next year and show you guys this year behind the scenes!

Like this.

And I can also ruin them this way.

But mostly, photos are of the back of my head. Here's me doing the "in the veil" kisses that I love to deliver!

When the bride's heels are hurting her feet, you give her your shoes and walk barefoot!

And you also take cell phone photos for guests

Just honestly the greatest year, I am so blessed to do what I do!

This is what it's all about- that excitement from seeing the back of the camera!

SO many people helped make all of these wedding days what they were. Look at Jennifer's team of people in her hotel room! And thank you helpful bridesmaid for your reflector pillow!
