Moonie, I'm so very happy for you and Cowboy, it will be a beautiful wedding. Don't forget the disposable cameras for the reception. Put a couple on each table and ask the guests to help you record the event. After all the photographer can't be every place at once.

Congratulations, Moondance!

The best advice I can give you is to remember that this day is about YOU TWO! Sounds simple and cliche, but it's very easy to forget when you're in the midst of planning something so huge.

All the best to you and Cowboy!!

We also did the disposable cameras.

I was a real pain in the *** when it came to the pictures and actually the entire "business" aspect of it. I am disgusted that all of these companies charge so much and keep your negatives. They also make you choose only a specific number depending on the package you choose. I felt very restricted. If I asked for an additional one they would answer, well each one is $ 35.00 blah blah blah.

Instead, after much research, I found a photographer who charged about 650.00, took all of the pictures, I chose all the ones that I wanted (unlimited) to make into 5 x 7, 8 x 10 etc.... and he gave me the proofs which were regular 4 x 6. I enlarged a bunch and the main one as well which we actually have not framed yet.
I bought my own albums and did the album myself. In it, I included shots such as my invitation,the first time I tried on my dress, the day of the fitting, my husband trying on his tux, me getting my make up done, etc...

I also added goofy shots from the disposable cameras. They are not perfect quality but they are still from my wedding.

I now have 4 fully customized albums which I love. You don't even have to be that creative. The market now is full of gorgeous albums and products that just make everything easy.

I chose to make mine simple black leather and added white chiffon ribbon and bows outside of it. The pages were portfolio black which makes all of the pictures stand out. Each pic has black photo corners to make it look more elegant.

One of my clients is a bridal photography studio in Walnut Creek. The trick is to send out 2 people: one to shoot & one to pose. Otherwise, if you put down the camera to tuck in a bra strap or crooked tie, something else is wrong when you pick up the camera again. P.S., I'll do it for you!

I took photos of a friend's wedding today. I'm making a website for them. I just have one suggestion.. use a flash even for outdoor photos for faces. I had a sunset in back of them and used a flash to capture their faces.
One small aggravation..
There was one guy (who was a friend of the groom's) who jumped in front with his camera for every shot. He pushed the rest of us out of the way. Finally, I politely asked him to please move over so everyone else could get a shot.
He was very pushy. grrrrrrrr

Thanks Twiggs! I will mention this to some of the important people that are in charge of some shots. We will be doing our vows during sunset so that will be important:)

here is what we did when my friend got married at the santa barbara zoo.....both of her parents were deceased, so when the minister asked, 'who gives this woman', all the guests from her 'side' yelled at the top of their lungs, "WE DO!!"
the minister almost fell over and the bride and groom burst out laughing. the groom's 'side' sat their with their mouths open (after they recovered from 'jumping' out of their skins).:)
we all got together before the ceremony and decided to do it. there were about 100 of us yelling, and since my friend was 37 when she married, we all decided it was about damn time!

my only fear was that, because i had always played practical jokes on my friends and her 6 siblings, maybe the joke was going to be on me. can you imagine if i had been the only one who screamed out, "WE DO!" my husband would have willed the ground to open up and swallowed him whole, i'm sure! LOL
their photographer is a friend who also worked with 'america's funniest home videos'. unfortunately, because he worked for AFHV, he could not enter his video. i do make my friend show me the tape each time i go to visit her, though. we still make fun of the people who got scared!
bad tabby! ehehehehehe.........

you will have a wonderful wedding, i'm sure!!

Hoping that your setting is not too chilly if it's outdoors in mid-April. I know it gets cold in California when the sun goes down, and I saw where the average high is 55° at that time! Could that be correct? Please tell me it is all wrong!

if moon is in so-cal, it's often in the 70's in april. maybe she just knows from the annual averages?
we went to disneyland one time in late february and it was 78 degrees. the next year, we went in late march and we had so much cold and rain, my son thought i parked in the swimming pool at the motel, LOL. we all wore our dairymen rubber boots and mickey mouse yellow ponchos and had the park to ourselves! i'll bet there weren't even 1,000 people in the entire park! we got on every ride and could stay on if we wanted!

I tried Farmer's online, but it didn't do March yet, will check back next month. I am having my dad's 75th birthday here and am trying to decide if I need to rent tents in case of rain! I need warm or slightly cool but no rain on March 6!!!! LOL

Texannie...rain...in Houston...in March...? I'd rent the tents

Moonie, I wish I could make it that way for the big day, but we have a very important interview information day the 17th. I'm missing the one coming up on the 7th b/c I have to take the licensure exam, so I cannot miss that one, too. I will continue to enjoy the updates posted here as well as the beautiful pictures of the event. Good luck!!

I need your HELP!!!

I need a great love quote. I have a few but they are too long... I need a short and sweet one... like...
"Live with great expectations & great things will happen." Art Fettig
"To love and be loved is to feel the sun from both sides." David Viscott
"Listen now to the gentle whispers of hope" Charles D. Brohead

I need some more! Thank you!!!
