Sometimes, I start writing blog posts with the intention of coming back to them later and finishing them….this is one of those blog posts. I started putting it together mid December and then got swamped with holiday shoots and you know….a baby! haha! Speaking of baby, these photos were taken by my awesome second shooter Amanda Wilson during the very first wedding I shot after having a c-section. Three weeks post-surgery and I was back at it again. I brought Amanda along with Greg and I just in-case I needed to take a break and I’m so thankful she was there…..especially because she snagged some behind the scenes shots for me.

Here are the links to the wedding we shot that day:

behind the scenes

I have to be honest…during this wedding one of my nightmares came true. I am SO SO SO thankful Amanda was there. I had zero problems shooting after a c-section, but I did have a reaction to some medication that I had to start taking after having to go off of it during my pregnancy. My stomach was not having it that day and I had to sneak off several times after feeling sick. We didn’t miss a single beat….that’s how we roll! haha!behind the scenesbehind the scenesApparently, I love to boss people around….I have no idea what I’m saying here but I think I’m trying to show them where to stand!

I’m going to try to make a point to share more behind the scene images from when we’re out shooting….lord knows I don’t have a shortage of them. Greg takes lots of embarrassing photos of me while I’m working on purpose. He has impeccable timing….it’s always RIGGGGGHT as I was taking a bite, or mid sentence where my mouth is all crooked, I’m bent over to pick something up! This year….i.will.get.revenge! MUAHH A HA HA!
