Behind The Scenes 2018

Here comes the blog that I know you all love each year! The Behind The Scenes blog for 2018! We certainly aren't the best at taking behind the scenes images because we are always so busy on wedding days but we have a few for you all! Get a glimpse into what it's like behind the scenes as a wedding photographer below!

We really like making faces while we are testing the light and getting things set up!

I'm always there to make sure you look your best!

Again, a lot more faces....

Just trying to blend in and a fun BTS of a Disney engagement!

Always, fixing all the dresses!

Devin likes to capture me taking photos on a wedding day!

Faces....

Sometimes we get to work with videographers!

Devin just being himself and standing in for a wedding couple!

Sometimes guests try to dance with us during a wedding.

Fun BTS from Disney and I love when my couple's face light up when they see a sneak peek on their wedding day!

Devin and I had a blast with Trent and Ben at Disney this year for their engagement session!

Sometimes animals join us on wedding days!

I love that my job takes me to some great locations!

Don't mind me, I'm just excited about golden hour at Magic Kingdom!

We certainly had some amazing wedding locations this year!

I always like to get in the middle of circles on wedding days!

Sometimes, I capture funny outtakes like this! Belle is sticking her tongue out at me and this puppy is not happy about mom and dad giving him a kiss!

Wedding day details.

When you have a Halloween wedding where guests dress up, you just have to fit in!

Just capturing my amazing couples and their love story!

The groom's horse really wanted a photo. Sometimes, I capture myself on accident in mirrors.

Working with videographers is always fun!

Loved all the great locations this year!

I'm the queen of dress holding!

Devin and I took one of our dream trips to London and Ireland this year to celebrate our 5 year anniversary! Here we are at Stonehenge. It was sooooooo cold, windy, and super rainy, hence our face in the first photo!

Taking a train in London from our hotel to the airport.

We stayed at a hotel the Beatles frequented in Dublin and the first photo is in the bar there. The second photo is during some Jameson tasting!

Tower Bridge in London and a walkway where all this pigeons lined up as soon as we started to walk across it....

Kensington Palace and the Queen Victoria statue! If you know me, you know this was my favorite part of the trip! And Devin and I in a cave by the Cliffs of Moher.

The Blarney House at Blarney Castle. I wanted to move in! And me with my man Winston Churchill!

Devin enjoying the London sights.

Oh you know, just visiting the Queen at Buckingham Palace!

More Tower Bridge.

Kensington Gardens and the Prince Albert statue.

This little duck at Kensington Gardens followed Devin around the whole time we were by the water!

Kensington Palace!

Inside Kensington Palace and Queen Victoria's famous dress.

Queen Victoria and Prince Albert and then an Oscar Wilde statue in Dublin.

A random castle we saw while driving through Dublin and Blarney Castle.

We loved Blarney Castle, there was so much to explore.

Of course we had to kiss the Blarney stone.

The poison garden at Blarney Castle and the Witches Stone.

Lots and lots of castles in Ireland!

We also went to Oregon this year to visit Devin's family.

We stopped to see the elks on the way back to the airport.

We also spent a weekend in Wisconsin and went to a brewery, saw a stone with creepy children's faces carved in it, and played mini golf.

Overall, 2018 was a great year and we are looking forward to 2019! I hope you enjoyed this Behind The Scenes Blog with a few highlights!
