Photographers

So I've been told that one of the most important thing about your wedding is the photography. I believe that probably is the truth. After seeing many of my friends get hitched, I have found that your wedding day blurs by and before you are aware its over and you are exhausted, thinking "Whoo-wee, its over, but I don't remember much!" So, taking my dearest friend's experiences with their photographers, I am trying to figure out what I want in my pictures. I have found I like funky-artsy photography. Weird angles, lots of sky and focused on objects that you would not normally think of. I have fallen in love with this one photographer based out of Seattle (One Love Photo), but alas when I did more research she is REALLY expensive! But her style is so cool and different. So, I think who ever I end up with I will want them to replicate her style.

If you have any photographers you know of let me know! I'll keep searching in the mean time.

For now here is some eye candy of weddings I really enjoy! Courtesy of (One Love Photo)

Dresses, Dresses too Many Dresses

I began to look at dresses online and there are so many that it gets a little overwhelming! I have been thinking that I would like a dress that has straps of some sort.... most likely halter style. Here are a few that I have looked and have liked so far. What style do you like???

Scouting out our Potential Wedding Site

So, in a few weeks we are going to go scout out a potential wedding site. Earlier I wrote a post about the Kitsap Memorial State Park and we are still really interested in the site and we are goign to go check it out in the beginning of August. A girl I met during college through a friend just had her wedding there on Saturday. I saw her pictues and they were so pretty!

I am excited to check it out with my family and friends!

Here are some pics of the place.

Get Your Smore on

Matt and I really like the idea of having a campfire and hanging out around the fire. I thought these smore packets are super cute! I love smores and it reminds me of all of our camping trips we have taken together. We will have smores if we have a campfire! I am not sure if I'll make the smore makings look as cute as these, but we will have 'em at our wedding!

Cute Backdrop for Pictures

I really like the idea of having an area where people can take pictures while hanging out during the wedding. I've seen the mobile photo booths like they have at fairs, but I have found that renting those are EXTREMELY expensive! One great substitution for the photo booths is having a fabric as a backdrop and keeping a camera handy for photos. While I was looking at various blogs today I found this fabric that was really cute!! I probably wouldn't have a backdrop like this one but I thought it was too cute!

Pie, Pie, Pie

So, I think that we are contemplating about having pie as our "cake" for the wedding. Matt does not like cake too much and we both really like pie. We got our great inspiration from the Oram's and we really enjoyed all of the wonderful pies their family and friends brought to the wedding shindig.

Check It, Yo.

This rock centerpiece is really awesome! I love rocks. And it's even better when they are cool rocks stacked up all cool like. :)
