THE JOURNAL

BTS of 2016

This year we weren’t the best about sharing any BTS to the weddings we were shooting! Heck, most of the time we would forget to take any BTS pictures except for when Logan would stand right in front of me- then it was easy to remember! 😉 haha! It’s one of my goals to make sure we get a few behind the scenes shots from each wedding!! Let’s see if I can make that happen!! This year was wild and we loved every minute of it and wished that it would move a little slower at the same time because this year flew by! We teamed up with some incredible vendors to put together a couple different styled shoots this year for photographers to be able to come and participate in. I also hosted my first workshops this year!! Logan helped me with two workshops for beginners and I teamed up with Meghan to host a retreat in Island Park for photographers. I have always loved working with and alongside Logan on wedding days, but something really clicked this year and I think we work even better together now. Working together has helped us learn more about each other and it has helped us communicate better. After we found out we were pregnant, we still had 3 weddings to go during a time when my energy level was a little on the lower side. Logan was constantly making sure I was doing OK and helped me know I was doing great!! The sweetest moment happened when we shot Michelle & Patrick’s wedding a few weeks ago and Logan whispered to me during the dinner that he had brought a few granola bars in his coat pockets in case I didn’t like the vendor meal. Don’t know what I would do without him!! This business truly wouldn’t be possible if it weren’t for him. So grateful to have had such a fun year with Logan!

Logan is the best at hanging dresses!! He is a bit taller than me so he can always make it work! 🙂
