I get giddy for shoes and wedding photos!

Every girl dreams of her wedding, the dress, all the details.. However, most girls didn't look for a top notch photographer for two years before her wedding.  Welcome to my world.  For me, a photographer is the most important vendor. Pictures are what allow you to tell your story over and over again on a daily basis when the wedding is over.  I love pictures that tell a story.  I have been to so many weddings that were beautiful with so many fine details that deserved to be captured only to see the couples wedding pictures and frown. No picture of the table scape, forget the invites, no pictures of the reactions of the guest during the couples first dance.
You can ask anyone, I am crazy in love with wedding pictures.  Every now and then on my search for a wedding photographer, I would find someone I thought I liked.  I would of course, follow their work only to later be disappointed by one of their weddings.  There are a ton of people who call themselves photographers out there, so brides beware!!  Just because you have a camera and think you know how to use photoshop does NOT mean you have talent.  Then there are those who have talent, know they have talent, and while their pictures look pretty awesome, they don't always listen to what their clients want..so the result is just okay.
Many of you know, my sister is a photographer.  She is wonderful, pure talent... sometimes she is so good she doesn't even see it. She will be taking some of our engagement pictures, which I can't wait for but when it comes to my wedding day I need her to be my sister.  She grounds me and keeps me focused, which will be much needed on my wedding day ( I also want her in wedding pictures).   
For my wedding I was looking for someone with pure talent, education specifically in photography, someone who is fun and will listen to what I see for my wedding pictures.  For two years, I have been watching Edmonson upload wedding after wedding and every time I look at their pictures I feel giddy. You know that feeling you get when you see a fabulous pair of shoes in the window? Yeah, just like that.  I knew early on, they were the only choice for me when it came to my wedding pictures, to the point I would have changed my wedding date if I had to so I could have them photograph my wedding. This week we booked them as our photographer and I couldn't be happier. They are so nice and fun!  Our pictures are going to be amazing!!  Prepare yourself.
