wedding photography

Ah yes, current photography trends dictate that everything be photographed. Stuff I've seen gaining popularity in the wedding circuit:

*Filmed and photographed proposals. Complete with styled photoshoot afterward.

*Styled engagement shoots. Ex: Vintage camera themed, vintage car themed, etc.

*Dress shopping shoots.

*Pre-wedding maids photoshoot or bachelorette party shoot.

*Boudoir pics.

*Day After wedding shoot (bride and groom dressed back up in dress/tux to take more "relaxed" photos at a variety of locations.)

*Anniversary pics (a la engagement pics but on your first anniversary.)

The vast majority of these things make me roll my eyes. The wedding industry/pinterest have all made people want to seem more exciting and fun than they really are. I was thinking about doing boudoir pics for the first anniversary (paper), but I have awhile to really decide on that.

Fiance and I have a meeting with my only choice for a wedding photographer tomorrow. Wish us luck

Best of luck! We've been married one year and 10 days, and STILL don't have the wedding albums! Be sure to get dates (pre-wedding/studio, wedding/reception, any post wedding pictures AND proofs for all of them) in writing!

honey, FI and I didn't end up meeting the photographers as planned. The photographers got sick and ended up having to cancel. I will end up having to meet them by myself since FI and I don't live together and was a pain coordinating all of our schedules
Either way, I would love to book them for our wedding; here is their site:

Update: We get to see the proofs this Sunday! Two years, one month and two days after the wedding.

Do I have to say that I demanded a refund if they weren't produced by February 1st?
