2016 behind the scenes

Happy Friday friends! It’s not only the end of the week, but it’s also almost the end of another amazing year (anyone else feel like this one went by the FASTEST?!) which means it’s time for our favorite post! We love putting together the behind the scenes post every year, not just because it’s fun looking back at all of the silliness from the year we’re about to leave behind, but also because it’s like getting to revisit with each of the sweet couples we’ve spent the year with all at once.  

(Basically like the best house party EVER where we get to stay in our pjs ; ) So let’s get partying, shall we?!

We spent another year shooting in some seriously awesome places . . .

with sweet couples we couldn’t love any more.

Ben proved he was good at lifting things of the heavy, not so heavy and flower girl variety

while Sarah delivered top notch posing instruction to our brides . . . .

We both stole the occasional booty shot. . . . . 

(because checking out your coworker is TOTAAAALLLYY allowed when you work with your spouse ; )

and made some seriously silly faces along the way . . .

There were amazing styled shoots,

Ben continued to bring veil epicness to life . . . .

and their were times Sarah was so excited she just couldn’t STAND it.

We photobombed each other just a few times . . . .

Ok. Maybe some of us more than others. . . . .

but no matter how many times Sarah walked in front of Ben’s camera he always wanted her to come closer . . . .

(also, a trillion bonus points to our awesome bride Anne for this picture Ben ruined

of her attacking him with the cake knife. SO GOOD!)

Sarah joined a band

(Yes those are finger guns. Yes, they come out on the regular.)
