                 Taking Wedding Photos-Best of Modern Design

       If you've ever been to a wedding recently you will know that many guests during the ceremony and reception the film. People have a digital camera and camcorder. Now this is the problem as possible. You will get married and your friend offers to take wedding pictures. You think a professional would cost the earth. Would you hire your friend?
Well it depends on their ability and reliability not to mention their experience. But the professional quality will take a photo you will enjoy for the rest of your life. You do not want to miss the wonders of your special day. Relying on friends have the potential for disaster.
How to Choose the Right Photographer:

Now of course the price is a factor but if it's the only way that you choose your photographer, you might be better with your friends.

Word of mouth is one of the best ways to make your choice.

A good photographer will be happy to show their portfolios and, with permission from former clients, referring you to people for whom they have previously taken photos.















       Regarding the price, remember that your photo is something that will stay with you for years to come.
Get to meet your potential photographer. A phone call or peruse the brochures or web pages is not enough. You need face to face meeting with your spouse to become and photographers. He or she needs to have the personality to capture you at your best. Of course there are the traditional image but an unusual and interesting too big. Meet the photographer to see if they are on your wavelength.

Theme Thursday 34: Let's Go Camping!

I came up with this board while I was working on Alternative Wednesday this week.  I found a cute camping wedding with the bridesmaids in separates so I created a board around their looks!  I think camping/campground weddings are so casually fun and adore the wildflower bouquet in this board.  I'm starting to think wildflowers are the perfect touch to any casual outdoor wedding!

A Shout Out to all my Blogger Friends

Last night when I was going through the pictures from our photoshoot and weekend in Bend there was one picture of Rachael and I after we'd finally wrapped our shoot and were reveling in the finished project that definitely got me thinking about how amazing the blog community really is.  I only really met Rach for the first time in December when we did our last tablescape project together but I feel I've known her forever since we've been following each other since we started our blogs during our own wedding planning process and have been on a similar journey. 




Me and Rach
(the photographer forgot to shave 10 years off my face to make me look youthful like Rach!)

It's been so great actually getting to know her outside of virtual world but I guess my point is she was never really a stranger to me and has been a friend since before I even met her.  The thought of that seems really weird to most people but if you are a blogger you know what I mean. In fact since we've moved out West it's been really tough to keep in touch with all my dear friends and family on the East coast with the time difference and I've felt a little disconnected from some of them.  The blog has actually brought me some comfort in this regard b/c of the vast number of friends I've made through this community.  Like Christie who read on my blog that I had lost a friend and reached out to me to offer her help and guest post if I needed to take some time off from the blog.  Or the lovely Jes who shares a wedding anniversary with me and just welcomed baby Clara into the world - it's been so fun to watch her journey.  Then there is Lizzie who has been helping me with my new branding for the blog and is planning her wedding in Sweet Home Chicago.  And I can't forget Cori who was one of the first bloggers I followed during my wedding planning and now we've watched her turn her passion for photography into much more than a hobby.  Finally there is the fabulous TWIPS community a group of bloggers that are constantly supporting and encouraging each other - quite an amazing group of folks.  But it's not only fellow bloggers who have become friends and offer support and encouragement but the daily followers and commenters who are always commenting on my posts keeping me inspired to continue blogging.

So today I wanted to dedicate my post to all my blogger friends and supportive followers - thank you for being a friend and continuing to inspired me every day! 

Bridal Session ~ Julia

Earlier this week we posted Julia and James' amazing styled engagement session and now we have more from the incredible shoot with Julia's vintage inspired bridal session. We absolutely adore the idea of a bride taking her bridal session in a vintage gown and Julia did exactly that wearing her mother's wedding gown that looked stunning on the new bride. Wearing her engagement ring that features the diamond from James' late mother's wedding ring and dressed in her own mother's vintage gown, Julia looked absolutely breathtaking in this series of images captured by Ashley Maxwell Photography. With a few modern elements including her gold ballet flats and blush toned floral fascinator Julia gave the gown an updated look, while still keeping true to the gorgeous vintage design.
