behind the scenes

Weekenders

We had such a fun Saturday with Brooke & Tyler! Personally, I love outdoor weddings and couldn't have been more thrilled to shoot in such a beautiful location! [embed]https://vimeo.com/73086847[/embed]

Brooke, a coal-miners daughter, and Tyler, a simple coal-miner himself, had a very unique way of saying their vows! They wanted personal vows, but they couldn't read them themselves without tearing up (sooo cute! :)), so they had their officiant read them instead! How cool?! I had never thought of doing that before!

Brooke also surprised Tyler with a second gorgeous/ super sassy wedding gown at their reception! Check out their same-day-edit to see for yourself!

I'd like to give a shout out to Andy, one of our interns, for braving the heat with us and joining in all the fun that was Brooke + Tyler's big day!

Until next time!

All In A Day's Work

We had an amazing time with Trent + Lauren this past Saturday! The first time we met was the day we shot their proposal. Since then, we had been counting down to their BIG day, knowing it would be absolutely perfect! And it was indeed prefect! :) [embed]https://vimeo.com/60916454[/embed]

When we arrived at the Ritz Carlton, Trent was so excited! I don't think he ever stopped smiling! He immediately sat down to write his love letters to Lauren, which we had designed himself (such a nice touch!).

Love Letters :)

Soon after, a questionable breakfast arrived. Everyone hesitated at the sight of something completely smothered in cheese and bacon. One brave man stepped up to try it, and I quote, "I don't know what it is, but I'm about to devour it, so that's good!" Watch their Same-Day-Edit below for more details!

"Get what you want, and I'll eat the rest!"

Same-Day-Edit!

If you're not familiar with a Same-Day-Edit, then here you go! This is how is all goes down. Once we get to the reception, one of us will shoot, while the other edits. In this case, I shot the reception while Jimmy edited Trent + Lauren's SDE. Once Jimmy was finished, we switched places and I made the final finishing touches. It helps to have a second set of eyes to check it out before we show it! Go teamwork! ;)

Coloring Trent + Lauren's Same-Day-Edit!

Trent + Lauren's day was beautiful, or as Lauren's niece would put it, "It's gorgeous!"

A big shout out to Benfield Photography! Dale and Mere...Thank you for being awesome! We loved hanging out all day! Also, thank you for letting us borrow the 85! Jimmy's hooked! :) And thank you to Jenny with Before I Do for all of your hard work and help throughout the day!

On The Move

Thought I'd share this with you all! Enjoy my near death experience! ;) (Okay, okay....maybe that's a little dramatic!) [embed]https://vimeo.com/71783708[/embed]

I understand the importance of these horrid creatures, but I don't understand why they are out to get me! Perhaps I shouldn't invade their personal space! Haha!
