Virginia Wedding Photographers | Behind the Scenes of our Video, Part 1 | Michael and Carina Photography

 

We were blown away by the reaction we got yesterday when we released our video on our Facebook page.

Humbled, too.

We’re happy about how much people enjoyed watching it…

But we’re also even happier for how much fun it was for us, as a couple, to make.

It brought us close together, revisiting old memories, opening old boxes that have been gathering dust in corners…

The video portrays who we are not only as wedding photographers, but as people.

The Girl Tyler team had a lot to do with that.

They made us feel so comfortable…

They asked us early on… “Where do the two of you imagine yourself on an absolutely perfect day where you have the whole day just to yourselves?”

We didn’t have to think twice about our answer.

“Probably picnicking in Keswick Vineyards.”

And that was that.

The script that we had was not so much “scripted” it was converted from two letters we wrote about & for each other.

So even when we were “talking” nothing we said felt unnatural… it was all straight from our hearts.

And everytime we look at the video now… we revisit the distance we had to overcome… and we’re so thankful just to have spent that perfect day together in Keswick, picnicking, and just having that time for us.

And we get a little teary eyed, too.

We’re still trying to get over it… but thank you. Thank every single one of you. Tyler, Graham, Martin of The Girl Tyler for making it happen and working with us the past several months.. the brides and grooms who believed in us and who helped us get this far… Joy and Brian, April and Jake.

And to Seth and Richard, friends of ours, who helped behind the scenes on the day of.

A big, big thank you to Cindy and all of the wonderful staff of Keswick Vineyards for letting us run around their property all day.

Of course, we are sooooo thankful for all of you who not only watched our video, but felt impressed to share it too.

We’ll be releasing some more photos soon, but we’re really excited to share these behind-the-scenes candids our assistant and friend Seth captured the day of filming.

So enjoy these behind the scenes shots!!

Especially this one. Something about our expressions… lol. This was so much fun to do… now we just want to do it all over again!

Tyler kind of reminds us of one of those lions you see stalking their prey in a documentary…

Thanks so much for snapping all of these, Seth!

Here’s a few photos we took in Keswick on film:

Thanks again guys… we love y’all.
