my wedding photographer

Who are they? Well, I'll be meeting with them this Saturday, hopefully. I pray that we are a supplier-client perfect match. I was so impressed with the photos in their website/blog that I think I look at it everyday. Our few email correspondences tell me that they are professional and have good background and reputation.
Then again, they had me at their signature phrase, that's almost same to our wedding theme, and just a few words that describe me and babe.
You might think its too early for me to be writing about them, but its fine, since I won't be saying who they are yet (just in case they aren't who I thought they were when I meet them).. Its just that, when things get too hectic with the preps, or they give me headaches because their rates aren't exactly how much I'd like to spend for photos, I want to be reminded of why I got them in the first place, and this blog entry will do just that.

It's not surprising when I say that I'm getting them for their expertise. They have such impeccable eye for details and their photos come out classy, romantic yet real at the same time. It has a certain light that I think the sun exudes naturally when two people are in love. Honestly, with the quality of pictures they produce, I think they're actually charging pretty low. But that's fine with me, for now ;) hahaha. I have several friends (and relatives) who I believe, can take nice pictures, especially since they know our style and personality as a couple. That's great, but of course, I want a team who has dedicated their time capturing beautiful moments of people in love, thus, they should be real wedding photographers. I can't and I won't entrust my wedding pictures to newbies, just this once.

And then, its because they don't seem like the more popular wedding photographers who will go around making a scene and stealing the limelight from us on our wedding. I have a feeling they will be very low-key, not demanding a lot, not directing every minute of how we should act and pose, but just quietly taking beautiful shots of our most cherished moments.

See, our wedding should be sacred, intimate, and I guess, I just want people, our family and friends who have witnessed our love story, to feel that its not one of those weddings that aims to make a show. There are moments in a wedding that should be quiet and heartfelt, yet vibrant of the love between the bride and groom. With my experience in weddings, I've noticed that sometimes, just to be able to get a dramatic shot, photographers ruin that moment by directing everything. I don't want that for my wedding. I want our friends to be able to come near us when they want to, and would like most of our time enjoying the moment with our loved ones than creating poses. I just felt that, with the way their pictures turned out, that they are the type of photographers who are unobtrusive yet delivers beautifully.

So there... I look forward to meeting the husband and wife team that I will get to be our photographers on June 18,2010. I even asked babe to give me a call when I meet them, just so we're sure that both of us made the decision. I hope everything goes out terrific. Pray for me :)
