Behind The Scenes With Luke & Ash !!!
Hopefully I can do this yearly because it is so much fun!
2015 has been such an incredible year! With one more elopement to go and a couple more sessions… We are finally winding down.
Luke & I have our moments at weddings.
Working with your spouse is definitely challenging at times! We each have our own ideas and unique way of approaching different situations.
However, no matter what we face.. We put a smile on and get through it!
The number one thing I think we struggled with this year was our communication. One thing I am terrible at is reading lips…. and one thing Luke is terrible at is hand signals! So this year I think it is time for radios. Except I am not 100% on board because I know with my husband he will be using code words and we will have code names.
We will be sounding like F-15 Fighter pilots during the ceremony. Can you imagine? This will be a conversation…
” Come in, Come in… Colonel here… Maverick has just launched Fox 2… I repeat Fox 2… Abort!”
Yes that is Luke… And that will be our radio conversations…
Shooting weddings together has definitely been a marriage building experience.
Communication is key and learning to compromise with one another is crucial.
And yet… At the end of the wedding day when we kick off our shoes and collapse on the couch… We feel accomplished. We talk about the good things that we did and the things we could have done better.
We are truly a team and 2015 has made us into a better one!
As I culled through our Behind the Scenes… I had to laugh! We are funny… And I am not sure why our couples don’t laugh at us… Maybe they do…
We just don’t know about it!
First Up: Luke always tells me I am in his shot… After seeing so many of these… Maybe it’s true…
