We’ve made our first decision! We have a photographer! Denette Schaer has photographed many of our friend’s weddings, so we are very familiar with her work. Tom has known her through her husband and his family for years and I have stalked her facebook page/website looking at pictures since Matt and Nicole’s wedding last October.
Since I am gone until May, we have to decide if we want to have engagement pictures done on my break between February and March or in May when I get back. I’m pretty sure we are set on having them taken at the (as Tom would say, prestigious) University of Tampa. It is a little cliché, but Tom went to school there and I think it is gorgeous! We can get great shots of the minarets and around the park area as well as possibly downtown!
I have known for quite sometime that I wanted her to shoot the wedding, but we had to set a date before we could book her. As soon as we were content on the 11th, Tom emailed her right away. Thank goodness we asked when we did. We are the only wedding she will be doing in December! Whew, I’m glad we got that on lock! I’m not really sure what I would do if I had to add that to the list of decisions to make. I feel like I have more than enough already.
I’ve pretty much become obsessed with theknot.com, stylemepretty.com, and marthastuartliving.com. Any and everything DIY (Do It Yourself) site has been searched and filtered through, I’ve checked out many blogs, and dress sites. It’s too bad I can’t get online in the air – I’d get LOTS done then! (And that could also prevent weird people from talking to me!)
Having Denette on lock makes me feel a lot better! Pictures are one of the most important parts of the wedding planning for me, so knowing we have her is a big relief to me. One decision down, a million+ to go!!
