Best of 2013 | Bloopers

This is the final posting to end the month long series of “Best of 2013”! We have gone all over the grid from family portraits to engagement session to details to wedding photos. Be sure to check them all out at the end of this posting with links to the previous posts. 🙂 Today, I have narrowed it down to the top 10 bloopers of 2013! Hope this gets you smiling. 🙂

They had a dove release (AWESOME) … but when they were released, the doves came flying straight at me that I had to duck! Talk about scary!
