My Story Behind My Lens | Life With MFP on the ‘Other Side’

Dancin Fool_0056

Ok, Internet, this is my absolute favorite post of the entire year. I wait for this post with anticipation from day 1 of the New Year and chuckle to myself as I add images from each wedding to the file on my computer that says, Behind the Scenes 2014. I love it because it’s an insight into what my life is like on a day-to-day basis. I love it because although my goal is to tell YOUR story through MY Lens…sometimes it’s fun to see MY story BEHIND the lens. It’s a lot less pretty and a LOT more ridiculous.

Every year, I have my second shooters snap a few behind the scenes shots of me as we work and then I keep them under lock and key (not really) until the end of the year when I do this post.  I can’t believe it is time for another one of these as I feel like I JUST posted 2013’s behind the scenes! What is below is the result of a VERY busy 2014 wedding season for Mary Fields’ Photography and a lot of hard work for Mary Fields’ herself. It’s been a wonderful year and I will have a Highlights of 2014 post coming soon, but until then enjoy some behind the scenes shots of me. Since there are so many, I have broken them up into a week full of different posts so STAY TUNED! As I was going through the images, I also noticed some themes so I have categorized them in to series. Make sure you read the series titles so it makes sense! I hope you enjoy a little insight into what happens behind my lens!

Also, make sure you get to the end as the last series is one of my favs and certainly one of the most ridiculous!!!

Here’s to a wonderful year behind the lens!

This series is entitled: Don’t Worry…She’ll Show You. Whether it be posing, tying a bow tie, pinning a boutonniere, or just how to ‘smise’….you don’t have to worry cause I’ll show you.

For real, I learned how to tie a bow tie off of You Tube on the day of this wedding because no one knew. It was quite hilarious.

Just reach around the door like this…

Hand on your hip and bend this knee… ShellShow You_0070

You’re just gonna put your hand around her waist and smile like this… ShellShow You_0069 ShellShow You_0068 ShellShow You_0067

I thought I had their attention but please notice the guy yawning…third from left. My ability to entertain and hold attention is a facade…. ShellShow You_0066

No idea what I was doing here but surely I was instructing… ShellShow You_0065 ShellShow You_0064 ShellShow You_0063

This series is entitled: Where in the Wedding is Mary? In honor of Carmen Sandiego of course…Let’s play a little game of can you find me! WhereinTheWedding_0044

This series is one of my favorites and I have entitled it: Dancin’ FOOL…..emphasis on the fool part. If you know me or have followed the blog for a while you know that I dance at EVERY wedding I photograph. It’s an MFP staple! Dancin Fool_0045

That time I had pink eye and had to photograph the wedding with gloves and glasses….but did that stop my dancing? I think not! Dancin Fool_0046 Dancin Fool_0047 Dancin Fool_0048 Dancin Fool_0049 Dancin Fool_0050 Rebecca, we crushed this.
