Weddings are all about love, laughter, and unforgettable moments—and capturing all of that magic takes a special kind of talent. As a wedding photographer, I get a front-row seat to some of the most beautiful moments in people’s lives, and I wanted to give you a behind-the-scenes look at what it’s really like to photograph a full wedding day.
Setting the Stage
This particular wedding took place at The Refinery South in Jeffersonville, Indiana, a gorgeous venue with a welcoming staff that made everything run smoothly. I started the day with detail shots—rings, invitations, bridal accessories—making sure to capture all the little things that make a wedding unique and personal. My second shooter went to the location where the Groom and Groomsmen were getting ready to capture those moments. Be sure to watch the video for a look behind the lens: a wedding day with the Laura Christine Photography team.
The Getting Ready Moments
As the excitement built, the bride, groom, and their wedding parties got ready for the big moment. I love documenting those final touches—adjusting a bow tie, fastening the bride’s dress, and all those little candid moments filled with emotion. There’s something so special about capturing the anticipation and joy leading up to the ceremony.
A Day of Celebration
From the first touch to the "I do’s" and straight into the party, I focused on capturing the day as it naturally unfolded. My goal is always to blend into the background while making sure no moment goes unnoticed. The Refinery South provided such a stunning setting that made every shot even more magical.
The Art of Storytelling
For me, wedding photography is all about storytelling. I strive to create a balance between beautifully posed portraits and real, in-the-moment interactions. It’s not just about how the day looks—it’s about how it feels, and I want my couples to relive that emotion every time they look at their photos.
A Peek Behind the Scenes
If you’re considering hiring a wedding photographer, I hope this behind-the-scenes look gives you some insight into what goes into it. It’s not just about snapping pictures—it’s about creating something meaningful, something that lets you relive your big day over and over again.
Every wedding is different, but one thing remains the same—I pour my heart into every moment I capture. Being a part of these special days is an honor, and I love making sure my couples have beautiful memories to look back on forever.
Choosing the Right Photographer
If you’re in the middle of wedding planning, choosing the right photographer is so important. Find someone who truly understands your vision, pays attention to the little details, and can capture both the posed and spontaneous moments. At the end of the day, your wedding photos should tell the story of your love—and I’d love to help you tell yours.
