Wedding Day Photo Shoot: Behind-the-Scenes

Our pro shots will be coming soon to a computer screen near you, but before they do, I want to share a few behind-the-scenes glimpses of our wedding party and photographers in action!

Not only did my awesome friend Damien Smith, a stellar wedding photographer who’s shared tons of great tips here on the blog, shoot for us pre-ceremony and throughout the night, but our hired husband and wife team from Alex Neumann Photography did an out-of-this-world job, helping everyone have fun as the camera captured some of the most artistic, creative shots I could ever have imagined. Add in our fabulous videographer Max, and we had a real dream team on our hands!

Here, a few snippets of all the behind-the-camera fun.


Oops! My bridesmaids aren’t wearing their shoes yet! You can see them scrambling in the background, as my mom gets ready to lay out my train for a few pre-ceremony pictures.


It’s time for hair and makeup stylist Jana Bunge, who truly went above and beyond, to attach my lovely veil. Ever the expert, Damien sets up the shot.


I just loved posing in front of the wrought-iron gate at our Gardens of the World “first look” sight, while my groom checked me out in the background.


Alex is keeping the boys in line!


Smile for post-ceremony formals!


Max and Alex stole a few well-deserved minutes to chill out during the reception.

What are some favorite behind-the-scenes moments from your wedding, or some of the best you’ve witnessed at others’?

  5. I can't wait to see that shot at the wrought iron gate! It looks so pretty. Wish I had some like that. sigh

    Sounds like you had a wonderful time with your vendor team. For the most part, we loved all of ours too. They definitely kept us laughing and such. I especially love some footage I am sharing on Thursday of our videographer talking to us during our first look :)
