Backyard WI Wedding Teaser Video - Emily + John
Emily + John's teaser includes a special story. ❤
E reached out to J's military friend, Will Hibbitt, to see if he'd surprise J by playing one of his songs for their first dance live on their wedding day. He wasn't able to be there in person, but offered to film this video.
And guess what else?!
J + E must have been on the same wavelength because fast forward a bit down the road and he also reached out Will to see if he'd be able to play at the wedding too, then got the sweetest surprise from his bride come time for their first dance.

Here’s how you get there…It’s called Volstead’s Emporium. To get there, you’ll follow your gps down an alley with graffiti and iron barred windows.When you get to the alley, they say “look for the red light.”We were expecting a more noticeable light or door that seemed more obvious… truthfully, we didn’t know if we found the right spot…But when you find it, you have to knock and ask to be let in.I didn’t even capture half of the magic of this speakeasy, so do yourself a favor and plan a date night here with your favorite photog (hi 👋🏼). ♥️Food, experience, aesthetics and friends all 10/10. @volsteads

📷 Let’s talk about camera settings! 📸We know that nailing the camera settings can sometimes feel overwhelming, but I’m here to reassure you that it doesn’t have to be! I want to share some tips and tricks to help you capture stunning photos every time. 🌟Here are some camera setting essentials to keep in mind:⭐️ Shutter speed: This controls how long your camera’s sensor is exposed to light. To freeze motion, set it to a higher number, and for a blurred effect, set it to a lower number. 💡Hint: Shoot at 1/250 and above for sharp images.⭐️ Aperture: This controls the amount of light that enters your lens. It’s represented by an f-number, with lower numbers creating a shallower depth of field, and higher numbers giving you a greater depth of field. 💡 Hint: f/2.8-3.5 for portraits or close ups and f/4+ when you want more of the scenery in focus.⭐️ ISO: This determines the camera’s sensitivity to light. Higher ISO settings are great for low-light situations, but they tend to add noise or grain to the image. 💡Hint: Try to find the max ISO you’re comfortable shooting on your specific camera before it gets too grainy. This will be different for everyone, depending on your gear and shooting/editing style. ⭐️ White balance: This adjusts the overall color balance in your photo and ensures that whites look white. 💡Hint: Keep it on auto white balance if you’re not familiar with the different settings.Remember to practice and experiment with your camera settings to find the perfect combination for your unique style. And don’t forget to have fun with it! ✨Save this post to reference back to before your next shoot and let me know if you want to see more content like this! 📸#camerasettings #photography #elopementphotography #yosemiteelopement #yosemiteelopementphotographer

3 things I stopped doing👇🏼⭐️ Making myself small - if I wanted to accomplish my big dreams and achieve those “unrealistic” goals, I couldn’t hide in the shadows anymore⭐️ Worrying about what others thought - at the end of the day, the opinion that my acquaintances, neighbors, followers or that random person in Walmart have of me is none 👏🏼 of 👏🏼 my 👏🏼 business.⭐️ Living life through a future or a past lense - I’ve been actively working to be more in the moment and appreciate the now. It’s a work in progress, but is so freeing to just be grateful for where you’re at right now. Not to worry about the new house you want or when you embarrassed yourself 12 years ago. 🤷🏻♀️ Now it’s your turn!What have you chosen to leave in the past that has been life changing?!#dailyinspiration #align #alignment #yourbestself #dreambig
🌟 3 things you probably didn’t know about elopements 👇🏼Elopements are the epitome of intimacy, adventure, and soulful connections, but there’s so much more to them than meets the eye. As an elopement photographer, I’ve witnessed the magic and beauty of these special days firsthand. Here are three things you might not know about elopements:1️⃣ Elopements can be just as meaningful and breathtaking as traditional weddings, if not more so. With no expectations or rules to follow, couples are free to create a day that’s entirely unique and true to their love story.2️⃣ Elopements aren’t just for couples who want to escape traditional wedding tropes. They’re also perfect for those who want to celebrate their love in a more authentic and intimate way, surrounded only by the most important people in their lives.3️⃣ Elopements don’t have to be without traditions or details. From personalized vows and stunning florals to thoughtfully collected decor, an elopement can be as personalized and beautiful as any traditional wedding.Whether you’re considering an elopement or just curious about what makes them so special, I hope these insights have shed some light on the beauty and intentionality of these intimate celebrations. ✨P.S.

Details, details, details… why do they matter?You won’t print the photos off to hang on your wall, right?Well… you’re probably NOT wrong here!But going into your wedding day, you’ve probably put tons of energy into every little piece because you want to make sure it represents your wedding vibe and personality, so why wouldn’t you set aside a little bit of time to photograph it?👉🏽 Now let’s say you ordered budget invites and don’t love the way they turned out. There’s no shame in leaving them out of the details box you have ready for your photog. And mixing details into your gallery (and especially your wedding album!) can give a more well rounded story and help transport you back to all of the little moments. Plus, plain and simply, they just look pretty.🔥 Hot topic - What do you think… are detail shots necessary or over hyped?
A common misconception about eloping is that you’re in for an 8 hour photo shoot.📸in reality at your day, shouldn’t be about the photos or what the photographer needs. Your day should be about the two of you, and what you will have the most amazing memories of doing together. and if you have a great photographer, they’ll be there to capture it all in a way better way than you could put together if you were posing for them for eight hours.✨ So… what do you do after your elopement ceremony?! ✨First things first. What time of day are you getting married at?If you are planning a sunrise ceremony, the natural next step might be to go get breakfast together or get some coffee. You could also do lunch or dinner if the times sync up.I always like to encourage my couples to plan some sort of adventure or activity to do together. 🛶The activity could be some thing big like going on a boat ride or even a helicopter tour, or it could be some thing smaller and more simple like going for a dip in your Airbnb’s pool or baking and decorating your own wedding cake together.if you’re somewhere, that’s known for beautiful sunsets, you could go on a walk together at sunset and take a few pictures in the gorgeous lighting.You could go to the movies… go ice-skating… set up in a New York penthouse having a tequila tasting party… whatever sounds like it would be the most fun a way for you to spend a special day together.Now, if you haven’t already, create a new saved posts folder for “eloping tips” and ⭐️ save ⭐️ this ⭐️ post ⭐️ to reference back to!Photographer - @breeannakayphotography Host - @danitza.photography Cake - @amourpatisseriemn Hair - @beautybybetsy Makeup - @muamariana Models - @isabellaxcharlie #elopementwedding #elopementtips #elopementphotographer #elopementplanning #elopementtimeline #howtoelope #picnicelopement #super8 #super8film #super8elopement
Why are your wedding photos so important? ✨They’re photos that will stand the test of time. The photos that you and your family will keep coming back to you over and over again. They’re the photos that will hang on your wall and will sit in their own little album on display in your house. these photos will remind you of when your love story was just getting started someday when you’re 80 and old and gray and sitting on the porch together. ♥️The biggest regret most people have about their wedding. Photos is not spending too much, but booking a cheap photographer to try to save money. Let’s not make the same mistake and let’s do our 80 year old, still madly in love, selves a favor and give them some great photos to look back on. 👵🏻#italianwedding #italianweddingphotographer #positanoweddingphotographer #comoweddingphotographer #lakecomoweddingphotographer #venicewedding
Now let’s talk about you…What are your hopes, dreams and desires? 🥹Like… for real? What would you do if you could do anything in the world every day.I did the whole office job/cubicle at a company who didn’t really care once upon a time and I’m over doing things that aren’t meaningful to me.✨ So let me ask you again…What do you want from your life?Spill your heart out to me and introduce yourself in the comments, because I’d love to hear from you. 👇🏼#entrepreneur #manifestation #loveyourlife
