Photography

One of the big things to decide on was photography. I know that our photographer was high on my list. There are quite a few websites bookmarked of photographers whose style I love. The problem was, most of them were no where NEAR our budget.

Then we (well, I) found Sarah. I actually found her the old fashioned way - by going to a local bridal show. I saw her work, was able to talk with her, and went on my way. But she kept popping back into my head. So David and I went and met with her over the summer so I could show him her work. He liked it too, but we didn't really make a decision. Then I realized the end of the year was coming.... and we decided we really do like her, we enjoyed her company, it is time to make a decision. So a contract is on its way to me!

You can check out her website at Photos by Sarah. There aren't a lot of pictures, but what she does have is a wonderful representation of her differing styles. I'm so excited!

I'll keep looking at other sites for inspiration. In fact, I might have to post some of the photos I've seen and just adore.

Shoes

It seems that, after the dress, the shoes are the most important thing. I had two priorities when I went looking for mine: comfortable and cool. Since they WOULD be wedding shoes, it made sense to looking for white as well.

I fell in love when I found these white flops from Skechers. After all, I LOVE Skechers. It made perfect sense to get these! I'm super glad I did - I'll actually be able to wear my shoes all day without being uncomfortable!

I won!

That's right folks, I WON! Thanks to Brooklyn Bride I now have $25 to Shutterfly! Her contest: submit a comment with what you would spend $25 at shutterfly on. My response?

"I would make one of the PhotoShow DVDs. I would love to share our proposal story, etc. with our wedding guests, but can't afford to ask a photographer to do it. This would get my on my way!

I could also get some photo thank you cards, to share our amazing wedding photos!"


I am SO excited to try this out! I wonder how many DVDs I'll have by the time I am finished....

Honeymoon

Where else could our honeymoon possibly be? the plan is to go to Disney World. Beyond that.... no plans. I would love to spend some time at the Grand Floridian. I think David wants to stay at Animal Kingdom Lodge, Polynesian, or Contemporary. The list could have changed or be longer now. Who knows?

I'm sure we'll go back to California Grill. We might have dinner at Victoria's and Albert's. I'm sure it will depend on our budget. I would love to go back to Cinderella's Royal Table and Crystal Palace (I see a lot of time at Magic Kingdom in our future!).

It will be a fun trip - I can't wait to be celebrating our marriage in the happiest place on earth!
