2011 Photobooths

Posted in Personal, Photography show hide 2 comments

Photobooths were a HUGE thing at weddings this year....I can never resist hopping in myself. And they never cease to be the MOST unflattering photos of me ever. Like my hat?

Yes, we're photographers and still can't get the hang of photobooths - why can't we figure out you need to look at the CAMERA, not at the SCREEN? And why do photobooths give me anxiety? By the time the last shot is taken I can't figure out what to do, I think that's evident by my creepy/Cait's drunk look.

I broke out the creepy hand for this one.....we actually got a nice one in the last shot!

Remember when I said photobooth photos are super unflattering of me? Check out that first one below. Quite possibly the worst photo ever taken of me:)

Can't wait to hop in more photobooths in 2012:)

These have to be some of the worst pictures of me (especially the 1st one from Katie & Jon’s wedding haha). So many good times

Photo booths are fun! I haven’t been in one in years!

2011 Behind the Scenes

Posted in Personal, Photography show hide 7 comments

It always cracks me up to see "behind the scenes" shots of myself in action, I always wonder what I look like while shooting (I'll clue you in, it ain't that pretty after a full day of sweating in the heat of summer). Cait grabbed a bunch of shots of me shooting at some of the weddings this year, I thought it would be fun for you guys to see what I look like while I'm shooting too:)

I can't tell you how many times I've taken a picture near a mirror and realized, "crap! I'm in the picture"....and don't ask me why I have a flash on my camera outside in full sun. Just trying to work out my arms, maybe?

Yikes, who knew I look so intense while giving posing instruction....I swear I don't bite.

I'm not gonna lie, I love to get my dance on at receptions. I mean come on, check out my moves.

Cait has some fierce moves also. Yes, the bride's dad is thinking "she's an amazing dancer", and definitely NOT thinking "what the....?"

Love that my job sometimes takes me to a golf course, while the next weekend I'm on the water....

Whatever it takes to get the shot. Sometimes that means laying in alleys next to trash cans. Other times it means kicking the driver of a horse & carriage off so I can steal his spot. Then there are other times I'm doing something SO intricate (aka eating a quick snack) that I manage to get gum stuck in my bracelet, and proceed to get it all over my face and hands. I keep it classy folks.

Loved all of my shoots on railroads this year. That's Jess & Matt below.....they happen to live about 2 miles from Jay and I, so we've gone out a bunch of times....it's the best when clients become friends:)

Ahhh the glamorous life of a wedding photographer. Aka shoving food and water down your throat in a parking lot in the 1 minute you have to spare between locations.

I promise there was a reason I was shooting in front of a speed limit sign:)

Photobooth fun:)

Cait just loooooves when I test my reception lighting on her:) I think I have a variation of this shot at every.single.wedding.

Happy 2012!!
