My Behind The Scenes Instagram Reels have taken on a life of their own. I've always loved the idea of documenting BTS and what others don't get to see, and it just started happening the more I got involved with the wedding industry.
It's not part of the service I offer as I NEVER want to take anything away or get in the way of the official photographer and videographer.
I enjoy the idea of documenting and judging by the response it seems you all enjoy it too! You can see & click the images below or check out my Instagram for more.
