We are so grateful for this year. As I scrolled through HUNDREDS of Behind the Scenes shots, I realized just how much FUN we have doing what we do. It’s an awesome privilege to be the ones beside a bride and groom all day capturing their day. What we loved most about Jasmine and JD on our wedding day was that they were so much fun to be around. They fit in with our families and our friends so well! So, Michael and I try to do that with our couples too!! When you have FUN with your photographers, it makes your images more genuine and joyful. Even in crunched timelines, freezing temperatures and tough locations, you can still have fun!! So take a look at what our job looks like on the OTHER SIDE! This is the REAL LIFE side of wedding photography!

PS! Our sweet friends Mike and Shaina just put together this quick little clip and we LOVE it!!!!! Thanks guys!!!!
