In the Middle of His Will

The Photographer....

This is actually one of the things Michael and I agreed on....The photographer is one of the most important parts of our wedding. We can't do that part over....and the pictures are forever.

We actually interviewed 4-5 different photographers.... it was grueling. Everything starts to mush together and some were steals and others were really overpriced! In the end ....we found someone that after we left the meeting Michael exclaims - " I love them, they actually talked to me!" This for us was a huge deal because many in the wedding industry only acknowledge the "Bride" forgetting it takes a couple for a wedding to happen.

Because we wanted a June wedding but Michael wanted to really take his time with the proposal...We actually booked our photographer in July and didn't get engaged until August 18th. What we found though was that everyone that had the style we wanted were going FAST!
So after interviewing the BEST PHOTOGRAPHY STAFF EVER... we put our deposit down with Bobbi Brinkman Photography. (www.bobbibrinkmanphotography.com) and they have a blog on blogspot (www.bobbibrinkmanphotography.blogspot.com). Their shots are AMAZING and one of the BIGGEST reasons we hired them was they "got" us. The saw our vision for the wedding the passion we have for the Lord, they take amazing pictures and...... they talked to Michael (lol). They also made it quite clear that they would be there to protect me....people get bossy at weddings... and it's usually not the bride. She said she could serve the tough love when I couldn't. I appreciate that... because as you all know.. it doesn't take much for me to cry. And i want all my tears that day to be from JOY not frustration at family and the unexpected.

Bobbi, Tina and Dell are a delight to work with. They have been an unbelievable resource for things and so helpful. They did our engagement shots ... here are just a few from that day last fall.
