Let’s be real, it’s the favorite post of the year! If you missed last year’s… open yourself up a new tab right here because it’s absolutely worth seeing. And this year’s is no difference.

Here is the post of the year where you get to see all of the behind the scenes of a wedding day – where sweaty summers & endless rompers make a glowing appearance. Second shooters, fellow friendors, and more (even my favorite person in the world!) all show their faces for one day a year and some good laughter. So grab your drink of choice and enjoy on our expense! 😉

They do say “anything for the shot.” From climbing to floor sitting to shooting in the trees.

If I’m shooting details… just go to the light. You’ll find me there. Likely on the floor.

When I’m not styling & shooting details… I’m styling & shooting food.

Rompers & a great backpack – that’s really all a wedding photographer needs in her closet.

I’ll claim the spot as extra bridesmaid with a camera any day! And love when I get to see my former brides and roommates/friends again and again.

The token perpetual “testing light” smile…

Hot summer days in the South call for fan breaks.

Becky & I both love our black & white jumpsuits. Meagan, however, seems concerned for my odd choice of flower shooting location. 😉

Pre-first look pep talks with brides… always a favorite!

“Pictured here: Lauren in her natural habitat. Giddy excitement for a beautiful angle in a space that looks straight out of Tuscany.”

On wedding days, I also double as a florist & flight attendant when necessary.

And the cleaning crew. #brokenglassesandspilleddrinks

From creeping in the corner to getting that last shot… receptions always bring some hilarious BTS.

Interiors photography = mirrors galore.

SPIRIT FINGERS.

Sometimes… you just end up in the shot. Whoops.

And other times, my amazing couples give ME gifts on the wedding day.

And other times… you just need to sit for a hot sec. Chair not required.

Yoga / ballet poses come in handy.

And occasionally, the guests insist on taking your picture.

You see a lot of pretty places.

And even some sneaky faces.

But I couldn’t do any of this without the people who make it possible for my amazing clients. My incredible second shooters & talented friendors.

We spend so much time with our couples right alongside the videographers & planners… so you’re bound to snap a few winners of them too!

And it’s extra special when your favorite person in the world and your former roommates are guests!

A huge thank you to those who made this Behind the Scenes post and this business possible. My second shooters deserve endless praise for the hard work they put in every weekend. From beauty capturing to veil fluffing to ring bearer fetching, my second shooters are the best in the biz, IMHO. Couldn’t be more grateful to have you as part of the LCP team.

Images of me behind the scenes by Chelsey Dellinger Photography, Casto Photography, Ivey Gibb Photography, Christina Pugh Photography, & Aysegul Sanford of Foolproof Living. This year wouldn’t be the same without you! And goodness, it was an amazing year!

And if you missed it… a thank you to my amazing couples! And finally, to everyone who has given me the opportunity to capture their food, brand, speak, or share my love for communications and brand strategy: my endless gratitude. 2017 brought so many incredible adventures & opportunities beyond my wildest dreams. Thank you for making them possible!

Eager to see what 2018 has in store for this business and those I get to do it with! Cheers to an amazing year!
