Choosing your photographer is very important, because he/she captures the special moments you’ll have forever. When I was going through our wedding album, each picture showed the love between Lavender Dude and me– and ultimately that’s what you want each photo to portray, right?
I recently attended a bridal show and it was so much fun! I wanted to share some bridal show tips with everyone that I learned.
I spend most evenings scouring the Internet looking at this site, bridal blogs, wedding websites, etc… and tonight I came across someone who said this… The only things that should last forever is your marriage and your photography – everything else is just details. I think I agree. I am going to try to keep this in mind when I am stressing over flowers and invitations and favors. I knew from the get go that the wedding photography was important to me. It is one of the first things I booked. I love our photographer and her work. From the moment I stepped foot into her home for our first meeting…I knew I was going to hire her. I know that the photos she takes of us we will have forever and they will be passed down to our children…so I had no qualms when it came to the cost of the wedding photography. Seeing our wedding photos is one of the things I look forward to the most about our wedding. Here are a few of my favorites from our photographer to be, Amy Sandoval.  http://www.amysandovalphotography.com/
Lilac Dude and I booked a photographer yesterday! One more thing to check off of the list and I love checking things off.
When we met to interview with him we took a list of questions that we had put together with our parents. I wanted to share our questions with you all. Our list looked like this:
When I first got engaged a year to plan a wedding seemed like enough time. Here we are SIX months away from our wedding…and the panic is starting to set in. This is what I have done so far -
Having a perfectly even wedding party was something that I thought would be vital to a wedding day. It ends up, having our wedding party perfectly uneven worked out better for us. After the ceremony and before dinner was served, we had a little bit of time to take the wedding party portraits. Granted they weren’t the most formal or organized, but we love how they turned out!
Dogwood Dude and I have begun to interview photographers and have found some great ones in the Miami/Keys area through WeddingWire. We browsed many photos, read tons of reviews and have asked all the typical questions. After going through my list, I asked the photographers if they could think of any question I forgot to ask or had any questions for Dogwood Dude and me. I never expected to get this one… Do you plan to see each other before the ceremony? I have always pictured myself walking down the aisle and seeing DD’s face when he saw me for the first time, but I couldn’t answer immediately for some reason. There was this little voice in the back of my head that kept thinking how great it would be to have that moment to ourselves.
First of all, thanks for coming around! I know it has been nearly a month since my last post, and I am thankful that you are here to follow this bride’s emotional journey
 The last we left off, I was getting over some bridezilla frustration, and we were just getting started with the portraits. It’s strange thinking back on this time, and although it really was just a photo shoot, it amazes me that it was so relaxing. I look at this next picture, and am just so thankful for my girls. They have been with me through the thick and thin of it all (we grew up together, so when I say “it all”, it really does mean “it all”!) and having them looking GORGEOUS, trudging through a WET farmer’s field on a pretty cold September day, all the while having their show-stopping smiles on, it makes perfect sense why it was so relaxing!
After Iris Dude and I got engaged, one of the first things that showed up on our “to-do” lists was to have engagement pictures taken. We debated with each other – was this really important? In the end, we decided it was worth it, and I’m so glad we did. I love the pictures we had taken!
Here are the reasons why I feel they’re important:
No matter how often you tell yourself that you will NOT go bridezilla on your wedding day, there just might be a little disturbance that you are not prepared for… and it can spark something inside that you swore wouldn’t light on fire!! YEP, I had a bridezilla moment! Emotion of the moment?! FRUSTRATION!! I was soooo frustrated with my husband when, after our moment of bliss during our first look, we started to head outside to get our modeling on! You already know it was raining, but since we had a spent a few minutes inside doing our first look, the weather seemed to have calmed down a bit, but it was still drizzling, and definitely still a bit messy from the early RAIN!! So, I waited patiently outside with an umbrella, while our peeps figured out the vehicles. We knew in advance that we needed 4 wheel drive to access one of the photo-shoot locations, and we (hubs and I) had already decided that we would be driving his truck (convenient right?!). Well, you can imagine my surprise when he informed me that he had left his truck at the hotel, and that we would be taking his best man’s jeep… not that big of a deal right?! My mom came out to help and make sure I didn’t get dirty…
(I think he knew he was about to get in trouble…)
Well, let’s just say that the Jeep was NOT CLEAN?!?! and… out came bridezilla! I was pissed right off… oh wait, I am using the slightly less dramatic term “frustrated”, but let’s face it ladies, I was pissed! Um, what part of WHITE DRESS did he not understand?!? So, after catching sight of the interior…
