After browsing photos and knowing that we were going to have our outdoor spring/summer ceremony, for me it was about picking colors. We got married the last day of spring and we wanted to remember that. Black is easy when it comes to black ink on invitations, black linens, black tuxes, black bridesmaid dresses but I didn’t want easy and my husband did not want a funeral like wedding.
The blogs also helped us to think about the things that were super important to us. For example, what do we want in our ceremony? How important are photos? Is video important? Is food at the reception important? How about beverages? Who do we want to stand up with us…that list goes on forever. The hubs said we should set deadlines for picking out each of our vendors and just stick to that. But we agreed that capturing the moments of the wedding by photo was on the top of our important list. I was starting to try on dresses and finalize the guest count when the hubs and I decided that maybe we should take some engagement photos. We could start to finalize one of our vendors, the photographer and really do a test run with engagement photos to ensure we like our photographer. We browsed prices in Chicago for photographers and the prices were expensive and most of the packages didn’t include giving you the rights to your own photos. The hubs had a really hard time with this – as he should. This got us thinking; maybe we could go with a less experienced photographer, pay less and get the rights to our photos. We had thought about the idea of using one of my high school friends as a photographer the wedding but she was newly out of school and she hadn’t shot a lot of weddings yet.
We scheduled an engagement shoot with her and we were really pleased. Since the hubs and I met working in baseball and we wanted to send out a save the date around baseball playoff time we took many photos sporting our favorite team wear.

Would you leave your child out of photos that capture your lives? We wouldn't eaither, which is why we had to include our special little girl, Boston Terrier, Minne.
