Fridays with Emerald Stone [Wk. 7] Behind-the-Scenes!

Leave a comment

Happy Friday friends! Today I want to share some behind-the-scenes images of myself and my assistant/shooter Ashlie! You knowĀ how often I say I have the best job in the world? I truly mean that, and I hope it shows through our images! WE LOVE WHAT WE DO! ā¤ I often hear that people want to see the face behind the camera, want anĀ ā€œunfiltered view.ā€ Below are several images from weddings last year that Ashlie and I captured together. Let me first say how much I love Ashlie!!! She is an AMAZING photography assistant!!! She helps with our wedding day timeline, organization, attention to detail, gathering guests for photos, lighting, heavy-lifting (aka. photography equipment!), second shooting, and literally everything else either I or the bride/groom need. As I was going through our behind-the-scenes photos for the year, I found photos I didn’t even know she took, but am so glad were captured!

Enjoy!

Happy Friday everyone! At the beginning of the year I decided to commit to a weekly blog –Ā  and it’s starting TODAY! I will be blogging every Friday about business, wedding, engagements and photography. I’m inviting all of you to post in the comments anything you’d like me to blog about under those categories. This blog is for YOU! My amazing followers, clients & friends. I can’t wait to hear from you all!

Today I just want to say THANK YOU!! Thank you for your support, sharing, referrals, and continued business. This week has truly been amazing. I’ve had several entries in my Engagement Giveaway (if you haven’t entered yet there’s still time! You won’t want to miss out!), and booked THREE weddings this week – 2 for 2017 and 1 for 2018! I am seriously feeling so blessed to have such amazing clients! I can’t say it enough how much I love what I do.
