I have been viewing some photographer’s blogs where they do an “end of the year review” and I love those posts. I don’t know what I love about them so much. It’s just fun to see what everyone has accomplished and to get a “sneak peek” into what their job looks like behind the scenes. Welp! Here is my “behind the scenes” post for 2011 and I have to admit… my “behind the scenes” images are a little less than professional. This post includes shots of me getting hung up in a briar patch, showing off less than desirable dance moves and almost tripping over a hole. It’s really not very impressive!
But I love posting these images because it helps me remember just how blessed I was to have such AMAZING couples in 2011. I’m so thankful for them and the chance to be a part of their wedding day. Enjoy these shots from throughout the year and you know I love you because I’m posting some pretty embarrassing images. I only do that for true friends:). Thanks so much for following my work! I’m excited for what 2012 will bring!!!!!

Well, Jessie and I started the year of right with Adjith and Catherine’s wedding….we were invited to dance on multiple occasions… but I think my dance moves are being out done by the man behind me… he takes his dancing seriously! (Jess and I laughed at this picture FOREVER)
Showing the “hold his neck” move….
ohh dear.. this is embarrassing… they definitely aren’t laughing with me… just smiling and thinking “ohhh she’s crazy!” haha. I did have them outside for portraits in 19 degrees!!!
Loved this wedding!
Whoever owns this car….. thank you for letting me lean on it…and for not having an alarm.
GET EXCITED!!!
“talk to the hand”….not really.
This was one gorgeous bridal party!
Showing the “leg pop”
This is my shootsac ad:)
Such a wonderful moment!!!!!!!
Ok, let me explain… I saw this happening during Matt and Clare’s shoot in NYC and just HAD to tak a picture of it. HILARIOUS! Really? Is that really a good angle??
Oops! Forgot there was a HUGE mirror there!
Scary.
Dress check!
He’s wonderful:)
Why? Why am I posting this?! … Because it’s hilarious.
Love my brides who love the cupid shuffle:)
Look closely, I’m about to fall in a hole.
If you haven’t seen Jasmine’s year review post, you NEED to! I laugh til I cry every time. This year she mentioned that she noticed a lot of images of “the claw”…. and I thought “Hmmm…. that’s a weird hand gesture” and then I found THIS!!! I’m guilty of it too!!
Again, scary. We’re weird.
Some of my fav vendors of all time! Josh Gooden and Anna Burke:
Loved this wedding:)
“I’m in BOSTON!!!” I was excited:)
This is my “EEK! I JUST SHOT TWO WEDDINGS IN A ROW AND MY FEET HURT BUT I’M STILL HAPPY” face. 
It got me!!
Haha No worries guys, just stuck in a briar patch. Literally stuck.
Thanks Jill for all the pics!!
Last wedding of the year!
Thanks for reading!
