Throughout the past year I have been intentional about capturing everything that happens at my couple’s wedding days…including myself and my team! I love behind the scenes posts because it’s so fun to see what goes into making these days look so beautiful!!

Your wedding photographer is involved in almost every aspect of your day, so it’s important to know what to expect!!! It isn’t always pretty (we’re talking unexpected downpours and cooling off with fans underneath dresses) and it involves A LOT of dress fluffing, but I love every second of it! It’s all about making the day of your dreams happen.

Thank you so much to my second shooters, Evan and Chris, for capturing all of the things that go into Dakota Hersey weddings! I can’t wait to work with all of my 2018 couples!!

Taking on Samantha and Anthony’s reception solo!

We only had about 5 minutes between the rain!!! Moving through these bridal party portraits quickly!

Keeping Jenny from falling over!!

All the dress and veil fluffing 🙂

It’s always so fun to see past couples at my weddings!

So many Alpha Chi Omega sisters at Ashley’s wedding!

The REAL behind the scenes lol.

Girls aren’t the only ones who need “fluffing”!

SO thankful for my second shooter, Evan!

I loved Jenny and Nick’s photobooth!!!

Keeping hydrated with sweet tea of course 😉

I LOVE wedding dancing…you can usually find me on the dance floor with the guests!!

This day was HOT y’all. These groomsmen were so patient with me!

Here’s the REAL life behind the beautiful photos!

Second shooting for Anna Taylor Photography!

So much fun at Sami and Anthony’s Fort Fisher engagement session.

iPhone behind the scene shots from bridal sessions. It’s always SO hard to wait to share these.
