The photographer started posting photos of our wedding on her blog already, she and her assistant were a delight to work with. She''s a former photography student based in the Rochester, NY area and had shot a lot of weddings as a second shooter for a more well known photographer, but wanted to branch out on her own. I''d highly recommend her, she and her assistant were very professional and very unobtrusive the entire day, and took well to suggestions and requests. And she''s on track to finish editing the photos in 3 weeks.
She''s also very friendly on the budget! It was 850$ for her and her assistant/second shooter for 9 hours and all the finished photos on CD with unlimited reproduction rights. I''m happy I took a chance on her, the photos didn''t come out mind-blowingly spectacular, but they''re nice enough to frame, which was really all I wanted. I''ll post some more photos when I get the finished CD with the rest of the photos.

Starting with obligatory dress photo

Posed photos..oy. I have to give applause to my photographer for getting me through the posed pics my husband wanted. I am SO not a photo person and was making funny faces and grimacing the entire time. I''m really bad at smiling for the camera, but she coaxed it out of me patiently and humorously.

HI,
I think my favorite is the one you marked as "Us". The lighting difference between the green background and soft colors in your dress makes it look spectacular. Great shot!

Congrats, it looked like such a beautiful wedding. I love seeing color in dresses.

Thanks! Your pro photos came back gorgeous too!
And yes, those are fresh sliced strawberries. My guy''s favorite cake is strawberry shortcake, so we had a fancy version of that with butter cream frosting on top, and whipped strawberry cream filling. Everyone raved about how tasty it was, so I''m happy! I decided not to tier it in order to fit in more strawberries

Hehe yeah, I was seriously worried I would ruin out photos since I"m usually so camera shy and/or silly in front of cameras. I''m kind of self conscious in front of cameras because I never like how I look in photos.

And yes, our bands are matching mokume gane, LOVE them!
