Capturing the big day....

Many of you may not realize this, but Greg and I planned our wedding in literally 4 months. I think if either of us would have had our way, we would have done it quicker. I don't understand how some people spend a year or more planning a wedding. I couldn't stand the waiting. Guess I was too eager to get married.....

With taking so little time to plan, we had to make decisions quick. We made the overall wedding planning easy to start by selecting a venue that would provide the ceremony, reception, DJ, catering, cake and a beautiful setting. All we had to do on our own was the photographer, minister and flowers. Selecting a minister was simple-we just asked a great friend of ours from Illinois to fly out for the event. Flowers were also pretty simple as one of Greg's co-workers had a wife that did weddings. The photographer, however, proved to be a little more difficult.

We wanted to have quality photographs to represent the day, without having the 200+ portraits of every single person that was there for the day. Although we love our family and friends, we weren't obsessed about them enough to capture that many photographs. We also wanted some creative and artsy shots, capturing the unique qualities of the venue we had selected.

It took us about 2 weeks to select a photographer. We were able to take our time since our wedding was on a Thursday and nearly everyone we had spoken to was available. This was certainly to our advantage since we were doing this 2 months before the wedding. After meeting with each photographer individually and taking a critical look at their online display of photography, we had made our decision:

Two weeks after the wedding, we received the email stating our photographs were ready for online viewing. We were ecstatic and pleased on how well they all turned out. For your viewing pleasure, here is the link and instructions for viewing our big day:
