2011 – Behind the Scenes

January 2, 2012 Posted in Personal

Since I just posted to 2011 recap of my weddings and sessions from the year, that means it’s time to do the behind the scenes for 2011! This has, quite possibly, become my favorite post of the year to sit and put together. I did my first behind the scenes post last year, and I got such a kick out of putting it together, I had to do it again this year! At almost all of my weddings in 2011, Erica, my assistant (who also happens to be my older sister), shot with me. We do our best to stay out of each others way, but it doesn’t always happen. Sometimes, we get in each other shots, whether by accident or on purpose, and the folder of images I have at the end of the year is full of us doing all kinds of things! I’ve compiled a few of my favorite ‘behind the scenes’ photos for you viewing (and my giggling) pleasure

When we shoot, we get pictures of each other shooting…

We play peek-a-boo…

We show you just how much cake we plan on eating ourselves…

We do our best Mary Kathryn Gallagher…”sometimes when I get nervous…”

We even try our hand at the Tebow…

We get tired on the job, so we take a quick nap…

We borrow your mirrors to make sure we look good too…

We make sure ours nails are dry before we get going…

We show you the best way to hold multiple drinks at your reception…

We get a little extra height…

We prepare for our symphony conducting debut (I have no idea why I’m standing like this…)

We say a little prayer the pictures come out perfectly (no idea why I’m standing like this either!)…

We bust out our old school Kriss Kross dance moves when the bride and groom aren’t looking…

We can’t believe she did that either…I mean, Oh no she diiiin’t…

We solve the worlds problems with the flower girls…

We plot attempts at stealing the bride’s beautiful rings…

We make sure to properly represent by getting our Guns Up during the Aggie War Hymn

We also like to chicken dance…

We make really ridiculous faces…

We…well, we do this…

We get excited when we get the shot…

We get hungry sometimes…

Most of all, we love shooting the amazing weddings of our amazing clients. I CANNOT wait to see what 2012 has in store for Lindsay Elizabeth Photography!

2011 – The Highlights

December 30, 2011 Posted in The Engagement, The Family, The Wedding

I have some seriously amazing clients. I say this constantly, but it’s posts like this one that help me remember just how lucky I am to do what I do. At the end of each year, I like to sit down and go through all the images I created and reflect. I see what I could have done better, see what I did well, and see just how many truly amazing people I got to work with over the course of the year. 2011 was certainly no exception! Once again, I got the opportunity to photograph some truly fabulous people! Year after year, I feel humbled and blessed to get to do this job I love so much. It’s not always easy, but my goodness if I continue to get to meet all these wonderful people, it will always feel worth it. I went through all my weddings and sessions from this year, and pulled some of my favorite images. If you’d like to see more from the shoot, just click on the name and it will take you to the original blog post.

Kailey and Phil – The Wedding

December 21, 2011 Posted in The Wedding

This wedding was one I was looking forward to all year. After shooting Kailey’s gorgeous bridals, and getting to spend some time with her family, I just knew her wedding day was going to be amazing! On top of Kailey being simply fabulous, she and Phil got married at the always fantastic Briscoe Manor. Kailey and Phil share such a seemingly simple and easy love. There’s no pretense, no fuss, just pure and unconditional love and it’s so beautiful to witness. I know I say this about all my weddings, but it’s always true – I so enjoyed being just a small part of Kailey and Phil’s big day. They laughed, they smiled, they partied, and every bit of it was perfect!

Kailey is seriously gorgeous. On top of that, she is so sweet and so very kind, which makes her even more gorgeous

They didn’t want to see each other before the ceremony, but they chose to have a moment where they exchanged letters with one another, and just talked to each other on opposite sides of the door. It was so sweet and Kailey was just so excited!

I love the way she looks at him as if the chapel wasn’t completely and totally full of people.

LOVE.

So I realize the black and white posted here isn’t technically perfect in any way. It’s a bit soft, the lighting is a bit harsh, and most people would likely pass it by because of these things. However, it might just be my favorite picture from their day. They both look so incredibly happy and like they couldn’t love each other more if they tried!
