There is something so fun and whimsical about GIF Animations (Graphics Interchange Format file: a graphic image on a Web page that moves). It’s nice to not take yourself too seriously!

Don’t get me wrong, I take my job very seriously. After all, I only have ONE day to capture all the moments, the memories, the details, and all the feels. It can be a lot of pressure, but when paired with the right couples (and of course I only work with amazing couples!) they are ready to let go of the reigns and try something fun. When given the opportunity I enjoy LOVE making these quirky little animations. I don’t care if they ever go out of style, it’s super fun creating and then piecing them together. Even the simplest of actions can make for a great GIF. And I won’t lie, I get a chuckle every time I watch them (over and over again!).

So, for your viewing pleasure, I have collected a TON of my GIF’s from the last two years (over 30!). There is a mix of engagement and wedding day animations, some very simple and some more complicated. Some made with a tripod (the ideal way) and some handheld (a little shaky but you gotta use what you got). I have to warn you, there is a lot of movement in this post so scroll through slowly. If you follow me on Instagram (and if not~ you really should! @MaypoleStudios) you may have seen a few of these but certainly not all of them. Sit back and enjoy!
