THE PHOTOS I SHOULD’VE DELETED…

I’ve had many requests to post my annual bloopers blog, and I finally gave in after the 5,000th person asked me where it was.  Well, here you go!…….

This is the shape in which my hand is frozen after a long day of shooting….

See? Fits perfectly.

Tristan loves unflattering and extreme close-ups….

…..Me? Not so much…

Some wedding days are unbearably hot…

….and you probably shouldn’t bother me while I’m in the zone….lol

Flattering, no?

…Okay, stop.

….no, seriously, STOP.  This next photo is what you can expect any wedding photographer to look like after shooting in an un-airconditioned church…

….and this is me when I saw the most adorable baby on the face of the earth at a reception….

Other times, I like to help out my second shooters by being a test subject for their lighting…

I also like to stay cool in front of a giant fan…

One of my second shooters captured my best angle…

…and again….

….and yet again…

…but THIS is the most flattering photo of them all…

“So….do you want to run out into traffic and pose for a photo? …..No?”

Here, I give Brandon some tips….what kind of tips, I can’t remember…

Andy’s flower needed some TLC…

Take a picture of me by the pie!

Take a picture of me by the pretty cake!!

….and then there was this one time I worked with my friend Aaron.  I licked one of the cucumbers on his plate and put it back…

…and he ate it!!!!!  HAHAHAHAHA! (please excuse the crappy cell phone pics lol)

Sometimes I am distracted by adorable little kids…

I just wanted to SQUEEZE this guy!

And I DID squeeze this guy!…

We’re both open-mouth smilers LOL

Pretending to know what I’m doing….

Doing my best Eric Schiemer impression… (Eric doesn’t really look like this when he works. LOL)

I loooove flowers…and I love smelling them.

You can’t really tell, but I’m singing to myself in this next photo…

…and again…

…but not here…

Why do I look so upset???….

…..oh right, it’s because of this man videotaping the ceremony in the aisle, blocking my shot! (He wasn’t a guest, don’t worry.)

Like, seriously?!?!

…..and then after throwing him under the bus through photos, I asked him to move….and all was well in the world.

Here I am blocking Tristan’s shot…

…and again…

…and here, a guest ruins my shot.   Seriously.

If you’re on a cell phone during a wedding ceremony, I will find you….

I’m not the only one who photobombs photos…..

Tristan trying to “help” Amanda as she was working…

Punishment for all the extreme unflattering closeups….being a live body so I can check my settings…

Tristan likes to help out, too.  Here he is helping a groom tie his tie.

Oh, Tristan.

Photobomber…

…and again…

…not obvious at all, Tristan….

In my way…

….being very helpful…

Tristan didn’t need to hide for this photo.  I told him to go there specifically for this photo.

HAHAHAHA!  I’m sure I’ll get backlash for this one…

Fraternizing with the djs…

I always love working with my friends.  This is Aaron…

…the same Aaron that ate the cucumber I licked.  HAHAHAHA!

This is my beautiful best friend, Katia…

She is a really good dancer…

…and she looks like a ninja when she shoots LOL!

Saucy!…

Katia sprinting to get out of my shot…

…but sometimes she pops up like a groundhog LMAOOOO!

Hanging with my friend (and talented organist), Amanda!

Me and Eric Schiemer!!

I love the look of the person on the left side of the photo…..

Look how pretty!  It’s Jenna from the Children’s Museum with a distracted Eric!

A little different look behind the scenes:  This is a photo taken by a guest…

….and this is one of the photos I was taking at that moment…

A crowded dance floor makes me wish I was taller!

There was that time that I shot a wedding where the groom was a Pitt grad, and the bride was a WVU grad…

John had NO CLUE that I wrote that on my hands.  *insert evil laugh*

And of course Laura LOVED IT!!!  LET’S GOOOOOOOOO!!!

Here I am with two of my brides and a friend!!…

Another uncomfortable up-close shot, courtesy of Tristan…

Ahhh, this is better.

Am I crazy?  I might be.  But that’s why y’all love me!!!
